Scalix 11 Installation on Debian Etch / Testing

[christoph.lukas]

I definitely think that something must be wrong in 11.0.2 deb packages

Hi,

I am sorry but I would not confirm this.

I have tried to install scalix-11.0.2.1 on a fresh debian etch and I have modified my install script so that it works again. I am pretty sure the packages are ok.

Please try again with the modified script.

Cheers,
Christoph

Hi again,

I installed Debian etch with minimum apps (as allways), then tried with installytion of SCALIX once again.

Results are the same.

Postgres errors are the same. I dont think it is related to your installation script.

BTW Which apt-get sources.list are you using ? When I use ftp.debian.org there was some problems with installing kernel, but when I use ftp.de.debian.org there is no such error ???

If there is anyone else reading this, I will be gratefull if someone can provide to me scalix 11.0.0.0 packages
--------------------------------------------------------
BTW I have login screen for rules wizard

http://scalix.web-hosting.co.yu/Scalix/rw

but there is nothing for

http://scalix.web-hosting.co.yu/scalix-admin/

or

http://scalix.web-hosting.co.yu/webmail
--------------------------------------------------------
Should this file
/etc/opt/scalix-tomcat/connector/ajp/instance-scalix.conf

look like this (generated by script)

Code: Select all

<VirtualHost scalix:80>
    Include /etc/opt/scalix-tomcat/connector/ajp/app-scalix.*.conf
</VirtualHost>

or like this

Code: Select all

<VirtualHost scalix.web-hosting.co.yu:80>
    Include /etc/opt/scalix-tomcat/connector/ajp/app-scalix.*.conf
</VirtualHost>

Also, should this

/etc/opt/scalix-tomcat/connector/ajp/instance-scalix.conf

look like this

Code: Select all

<VirtualHost scalix.web-hosting.co.yu:80>
    Include /etc/opt/scalix-tomcat/connector/ajp/app-scalix.*.conf
</VirtualHost>

or like this

Code: Select all

<VirtualHost scalix:80>
    Include /etc/opt/scalix-tomcat/connector/ajp/app-scalix.*.conf
</VirtualHost>

Ok. Then you have to find out why your scalix postgres is not starting. According to your logs you posted earlier this is due to the fact that it can not bind to the address or port.

Please check the output of lsof -i for a process running on port 5733.

Are you runnnig your etch system on real hardware or do you run it in any kind of virtualisation?

BTW Which apt-get sources.list are you using ? When I use ftp.debian.org there was some problems with installing kernel, but when I use ftp.de.debian.org there is no such error ???

If there is anyone else reading this, I will be gratefull if someone can provide to me scalix 11.0.0.0 packages

I don't think that this will fix your problem. The postgres setup did not change much between 11.0.2 and 11.0.0 packages.

This didn't helped either

Christoph helped me a lot to install SCALIX box on my server.

Many, many, many thanks to him.

For anyone who is reading this, errors were:

1. DO NOT manuallly create scalix user on your linux debain box.

2. It seems that instead of WAN address (something like 89.216.xxx.xxx) you should put LAN address like (192.168.xxx.xxx ) when prompted by script. Of course this apply to situations when your scalix server resides on LAN and connects with Internet and other PC's in LAN through router

3. same goes for /etc/hosts
there should be something like:

Code: Select all

127.0.0.1       localhost
192.168.123.201 scalix.mydomain.com        scalix


Where 192.168.123.201 is your LAN address of scalix box.

Once again, many, many thanks to Christoph, for helping me to install Scalix.

Everything is working now, except no one receives emails sent from scalix server?

Receiving of emails to username@myscalix.domain works good, but when I send email from username@myscalix.domain to myfriend@his.domain, email was never received at myfriend@his.domain ?

However, emails work both for sending and receiving in between users on my scalix server domain , inside of myscalix.domain...

You should check your sendmail setup. Scalix delivers outgoing mail to port 25 on localhost.

This can be configured in /var/opt/scalix/XX/s/sys/unix.mapper.

The normal setup is that scalix (omsmtp) is listening on port 25 of your external ip while sendmail listen on port 25 on localhost. You can check this with lsof -i.

You should take a look at /var/log/mail.log to see what sendmail is trying to do with your outgoing mail.

Christoph

Could it be a problem if I don't have PTR record for my IP yet ?

Many, many thanks for your support !!!

[christoph.lukas]

Hi,

your unix.mapper file and your lsof output look correct. The sendmail log lines are truncated so it is not clear what the problem is.

But is seems to be completely unrelated to scalix.
I would bet that you also are unable to send mails via the commandline to the same addresses.

You should probably run sendmailconfig and enable relaying for your external ip.

Cheers,
Christoph

[nenad]

Yes, or better to say no, I can't send emails using sendmail.

When I run "sendmailconfig" it doesn't ask me anything abot relaying address ?

How should I configure that ?

[christoph.lukas]

Are you really sure it is a problem with relaying? Did you take a look at the exact message in the sendmail log?

Do the messages end up in the sendmail queue?

Regards,
Christoph

[nenad]

Suddenly it started to work !!!

I am receiving email which I sent with Scalix hours ago!

To be honest, I don't know what I done?
------------------------------------------------------

I've been noticed that this file was changed:

Code: Select all

/etc/resolv.conf

# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
#     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN


In original file there was

Code: Select all

search sbb.co.yu
nameserver 192.168.123.254
nameserver 82.117.194.2
nameserver 82.117.194.3

So, I changed it and added:

Code: Select all

# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
#     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
search sbb.co.yu
nameserver 192.168.123.254
nameserver 82.117.194.2
nameserver 82.117.194.3

I wander if that file was changed by installing some of net-tools or host or whatever?
I noticed that in /var/log/mail.log are messages indicating that sendmail can't resolve...
Then I noticed that even ping google.com can't resolve hostname...

And that's how I finally checked /etc/resolv.conf
-------------------------------------------------------------
Anyway, I will repeat complete Debian OS and SCLIX installation, I wan't to find out who is causing this error, meaning unability to send emails from scalix domain.

[nenad]

Are you really sure it is a problem with relaying? Did you take a look at the exact message in the sendmail log?

Regards,

Yes, there was "queued" statement in the logs. After I done "something" all of the email that are pending for whole afternoon suddenly were sent (server side) / received (on my client machine on my non-scalix email account).

BTW Two years ago when I was setting my first webhosting control panel I had similar issue, because:
1. there was no PTR records for my IP, and most of mail servers won't accept email from host without PTR record.
2. my FQDN was not delegated in my ISP name servers
Then, after extensive analyze with my ISP we found out what was the problem.
I don't think that was an issue here, but some one might find this useful, I do hope.

[nenad]

I combined HylaFAX server together with SCALIX server on the same
hardware/server (Debian/Etch). Both of them works great.

But I have one issue:
there is option for email-to-fax-gateway. It works great (on other
machine withouth SCALIX server).

The problem is that HylaFAX server needs to receive email at
faxgw@mydoman.com
and the receive email is forwarded to perl script which then strip out
attachement, text and html component and invokes "sendfax" function.

But with scalix server SYSTEM user faxgw is unreachable. It is created,
but email never reaches it. In case that user mailbox is created with
SCALIX , system user mailbox is not reached again.

Invoking of the script is accomplished with placing this into faxgw home
dir:

Code: Select all

1. Create new user, e.g. faxgw, create .forward file in his homedir, and put there something like this: "|/var/spool/hylafax/bin/faxgw" (with quotes and pipe too)
2. create new file, /var/spool/hylafax/bin/faxgw, chmod it to -rwxr-xr-x , and put this perl script in there......

From this you can see what is problem:
file .forward is never reached and thus none of the following scripts in chain are not executed.

Now, the quesation is what I should d o in order to enable reaching of that crucial file?

[nenad]

Now I am trying to find out which package installed those:

glibc resolver, resolvconf

I want to eliminate package which is breaking resolv.conf ....
