installation error in ubuntu VPS

[dhruvpandit]

I think that the problem started after the installation of a password for mysql.
Try reinstall zentyal and do not enter a password mysql leave blank

sudo apt-get purge zentyal
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get install zentyal

same error see here

Can you just reinitialise your vps hopefully its blank as for me dependancy hell is always problematic.

go with making sure all repos's are installed
gpg keys all sorted
ubuntu-standard installed
http://forum.zentyal.org/index.php/topic,12244.msg50661.html#msg50661

then try zentyal

marcus what does ubuntu install if you just hit guided?
sometimes vps and other sources just provide a minimum and I have never worked out what is included
I know nano is there in a guided install but is there anything else as its more than ubuntu-standard unless its that and nano?

Hello FarquahrWindsor,

marcus what does ubuntu install if you just hit guided?

It will only set up the disk partitions (/boot, swap & /).  You'll still have to install at least the OpenSSH server from the Tasksel menu (optionnal but recommended).

Once everything is done, you may "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" your installation prior of installing Zentyal (or anything else).

Regarding the S*lusVM part
S*lusVM comes in 4 flavors: OpenVZ, KVM and both Xen environnements.  I would recommend to make sure that it is a fully virtualized environment (like KVM).

Also, depending on your service provider, chances are that your Ubuntu install comes from:
a) S*lusVM Template Network
a1) Minimal (nano won't be there)
a2) Complete (like if you were installing Ubuntu from an official ISO)
b) Regular Ubuntu ISO

On a side note regarding service providers;
They are generaly using there local Ubuntu repo list in order to have faster updates and save bandwidth.

Best,

Marcus

Marcus do you know what is installed in the complete as I have never worked it out?
ubuntu-standard is one item but there are more and I often wonder what is needed on top of minimal to make it the same.

i am trying to install zentyal on ubuntu 12.

 server edition?

actually i don't know.
the SolusVM panel has stated ubuntu 12.04 only.
will it support in ubuntu 10? i have that image also.

And you can use the standard image Zentyal 3.0?
http://www.zentyal.org/downloads/


I'll try to simulate your situation.
I downloaded this image http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04.1/ubuntu-12.04.1-server-i386.iso.torrent/
Install in the minimum configuration.
Add repository using sudo apt-get install-y python-software-properties && sudo add-apt-repository ppa: zentyal/3.0 && sudo apt-get update

and try sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install zentyal.
About result after 30 minutes

As described zentyal installed on virtualbox. Password mysql is not installed. No problem during installation..
