Manual Installation Debian Etch

Manual Installation on Debian Etch

This is an attempt to supply a simple script to install the latest Scalix Community Edition on a system running Debian Etch.

If you already have downloaded the tar.gz file copy it to /tmp so that the script can find it.

You can copy & paste the whole script into your favorite editor and run it from the commandline or simply copy & paste it line by line.

Preparation

Please take a look at http://www.scalix.com/wiki/index.php?title=Manual_Installation to make sure your system fullfills all necessary requirements. Pay special attention to your network configuration. Your /etc/hosts file should contain at least the following two lines:

127.0.0.1    localhost
<yourexternalip>  <hostname.domain.com> <hostname>

Make sure your /etc/apt/sources.list contains appropriate deb lines for etch containing main and non-free. e.g:

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian etch main non-free contrib

Now try to login to your administration console at: http://$fqdn/scalix-admin

and to Scalix webmail at: http://$fqdn/scalix-swa

If you are getting a message "503 Service Temporarily Unavailable" wait some time for tomcat to start up. This takes about 40 seconds on my system.
