file locations different than in guide - version 11

[bwesson]

This message refers to a new installation of Scalix 11 gold onto RedHat Enterprise 4.

Reading the 'fine' manual: "Scalix Server Setup and Configuration Guide" version 11, page 8. Paragraph heading: Identifying the Instance of Home Directory". This paragraph indicates that a tilde represents instance name. In our case our server name is 'email', therefore the instance name is 'el'. The location of this instance is /var/opt/scalix/el/. The phrase that I relied upon is: "If the instance is unnamed, the home directory becomes /var/opt/scalix/<nn> where <nn> is the first and last letter of the host name for that instance." The correct sentence should read "If the instance is unnamed, the home directory becomes /var/opt/scalix/<nn>/s/ where <nn> is the first and last letter of the host name for that instance."

Again, reading the 'fine' manual: "Scalix Server Setup and Configuration Guide" version 11, page 32. Paragraph heading: "Setting up the Mapper Config File". "The mapper script config file must be setup as ~/sys/omvscan.cfg." I would expect to see the omvscan.cfg file at /var/opt/scalix/el/sys/omvscan.cfg. instead, I found the file at /var/opt/scalix/el/s/sys/omvscan.cfg.

Working my way back through this process, I found that the ~/rules directory that I created at /var/opt/scalix/el/rules is probably incorrect because there is a rules directory already created at /var/opt/scalix/el/s/rules/. The reason I created the directory at /var/opt/scalix/el/rules/ is because the manual told me to do so on page 30 in the paragraph titled "Creating a Virus-Scanning Ruleset". The following paragraph was observed: "To do this, create a file in the directory ~/rules called ALL-ROUTES.VIR, . . ". Now does this mean create a new directory at /var/opt/scalix/el/rules/? I gather the correct answer is that there is already a directory at /var/opt/scalix/el/s/rules/, right?

The correct reference to the home directory is given, as the 'fine' manaul says, in /etc/opt/scalix/instance.cfg. The reference to the home directory there includes the 's' directory.

It seems to me that the first cite above should be changed to reference that the '~' should actually refer to <instance>/s/.

Am I on the right track here?
Thanks,
Bill

Hi Bill,

Yes, you are correct. '~' should refer to "<instance>/s", not just "<instance>"

Thank you for spotting this and apologies for the confusion.
I have submitted Bug 14399 - see http://bugzilla.scalix.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14399 to track this issue.

Regards,
Gren.
