HowTos/Manual Installation Feisty Fawn
Scalix Wiki -> How-Tos -> Manual Installation Feisty Fawn
Do not use this manual! It is not complete.
Since I encountered problems installing Scalix with the existing instructions under Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn, I decided to create another installation instruction.
First I installed Ubuntu 7.04 Server, which still needs some configuration.
1. You have to edit your /etc/hosts and make sure that your hostname is in the right format. Check if hostname gives back the name of your system and hostname --fqdn the full name with domain.
2. Give root a password so that you can later perform su -
sudo passwd root
First give your current password for your user, then the new password for root.
3. Edit /etc/apt/sources.list and comment the line that refers to the cdrom-drive as installation medium. Uncomment the other lines that gives you access to all packets available.
4. Install OpenSSH Server because you will need this for remote administration.
apt-get install openssh-server
5. Make an installation directory, for example /install
mkdir /install
6. Install the required Packages
apt-get install apache2
apt-get install gawk
apt-get install krb5-config
apt-get install krb5-user
apt-get install libkadm55
apt-get install libkrb53
apt-get install libglib2.0-0
apt-get install libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2
apt-get install libxml
apt-get install sgml-base
apt-get install xml-core
apt-get install postgresql-8.1
apt-get install libsasl2-modules
apt-get install libsasl2-gssapi-mit
apt-get install libsasl2
apt-get install sendmail
apt-get install elinks
apt-get install sun-java5-jre
7. Add Group and User, set shell und home directory
addgroup scalix
useradd -g scalix scalix
usermod -s /bin/false scalix
usermod -d /var/opt/scalix scalix
8. Edit shell variables
Login as root
vi .profile
Add export PATH=$PATH:/opt/scalix/bin:/opt/scalix/bin
Add export MANPATH=/opt/scalix/share/man
9. Download packages
cd /install
wget http://downloads.scalix.com/.community/11.1/scalix-11.1.0-GA-debian-intel.tgz
10. Extract files & delete source package
tar xfvz scalix-11.1.0-GA-debian-intel.tgz
rm scalix-11.1.0-GA-debian-intel.tgz
11. Install libical
cd scalix-debian-11.1.0-GA/third_party/libical/i386
dpkg -i libical_0.24.RC4.20050413_i386.deb
12. Install Scalix software
cd /install/scalix-11.1.0-GA/software/scalix_server/
dpkg -i scalic-server_11.1.0.10849_i386.deb
13. Initialize message store
ommakeom
This gave me an error: /opt/scalix/bin/ommakeom: 89: Syntax error: Bad substituion
I found this error message in different forum posts and it seems, as if the command to create a short name (e.g. the first and the last character of the machines hostname) is not working properly.
I got a solution for this error:
sudo mv /bin/sh /bin/SH sudo ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh
after installing Scalix this has to be undone:
sudo mv /bin/SH /bin/sh
This manual ends here but the installation of Scalix has not finished.
