Scalix 11 on OSS Suse 10.2

[nilli]

Hi,

i tried to install Scalix 11 on Suse 10.2 without luck.

First I got "OS not supported". After searching around i change the Suse-Release file to a supported OS.

Then i got Phyton version 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4 not found. Ok, correct...i have Phyton 2.5.
I installed Phython 2.4.

Now, i get new errormsg that "modul gtk" not found. But it's installed. Did somebody how to get Scalix running on Suse 10.2 ???

Regards,
N eils

Hi!

I saw the Scalix Installation Guide's Operating systems (Linux) requirement under
"System Requirements". It is mentioned, that:

You can install and run Scalix in any of the following versions of Linux: *
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0 or 4.0*
• SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9.0 or 10.0
Scalix can be installed on the following Linux operating systems (on
Intel or AMD hosts), but should be done only for evaluation purposes:
• Fedora Core 5
• SUSE Linux Open Source Software (OSS) 10.1

Note: Fedora Core 4 and SUSE Linux Professional 9.3 and 10 are no longer supported in
Scalix 11.0.

Suse 10.2 is not yet approved as supported OS for Scalix 11 installation.

Thanks,
Subir

Subir,
I too am having the same problem and appreciate your response.
My question is when will SUSE 10.2 be approved as a support OS for Scalix 11?
There are significant changes in SUSE 10.2 over 10.0 that make it a very
desireable OS for Scalix 11. Hopefully it can't be that difficult to put the two
together.
Thanks, Jon
PS Even finding and downloading an OS as old as 10.0 can prove quite challenging;
I did get through it...but it wasn't easy.

Hey Jon,

Sorry, kept you waiting, support for a different version OS is something that is done
between different releases. Look ahead for the next release of Scalix, I cannot assure you,
but you can contact Scalix Sales team for updates.

Thanks,
Subir

To clarify - we'll not change platform support matrix between maint releases, so the upcoming 11.0.1 maintenance release will not have upgraded platform support. This would most likely be done in a 11.1 or similar release. I cannot yet give you a time frame.

The important point is what you note - SuSE 10.2 has significant changes (i.e. a different Apache version, etc.); therefore, from our perspective, it's not only approving it, but also making some changes in the installer, providing the server and tomcat connector packages as native builds and finally (and that would have the highest impact) getting it tested in QA.

For long-term operations, that's they key reason why we suggest running Scalix on Enterprise Distros such as RHEL or SLES - they are far more long-lived and have better maintenance (as opposed to being deprecated) than the agressively developed community distros.

Cheers,
Florian.

a short question:
Scalic Community Edition and OSS 10.2 ???

Hi!

Scalix not supporting OSS 10.2 yet, but it is proposed shortly in near future.

m... When the document says RHEL 4.0, means that I can use CentOS instead?
