I'm trying to install Zentyal 4.0 on Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS.

I get the following dependency problem:

How to proceed?

Try once more from scratch and follow https://wiki.zentyal.org/wiki/Installation_Guide#Zentyal_3.4_packages (use Ubuntu server 14.04 and replace 3.4 with 4.0 and you are good to go)

[jaapzee]

I gave it another try, using a clean Ubuntu install; but no success:

Does it matter that I use a KVM image from opennebula?

Looking at the logs it's probably caused by redis-server not starting:

Code: [Select]

But I can't figure out why.

I'm using Zentyal 4.0 on Ubuntu 14.04.1 in our KVM server without problem ( we had problems with OpenVZ on proxmox though because of IPV6 )

[jaapzee]

Finally I found out that my loopback interface wasn't bound to localhost. That's why redis-server wouldn't start and caused Zentyal installation to fail.

[guterkerl]

How did you solve it? Am having the same issues on 14.04 minimal

How do you bind localhost to loopback?

Code: [Select]

root@zentyal:/var/log# cat /etc/hosts

For the problem with the zentyal-core package: A postinstallation script of zentyal-core ist not working, so zentyal-core is never installed:

Simply run the script standalone

Code: [Select]

> /var/lib/dpkg/info/zentyal-core.postinst
and check for errors!

Deactivate the script:

Code: [Select]

vim /var/lib/dpkg/info/zentyal-core.postinst

#!/bin/bash
exit 0

set -e
[...]
re-run dpkg

Code: [Select]

dpkg --configure -a
    continue with the web interface, which should be run now!

Code: [Select]

service zentyal webadmin restart
