(Solved) Modules reported errors when saving changes 1st time

[crazyadmin]

I set up a new VPS running Ubuntu 14.04 (64-bit) and installed Zentyal 4.1 from apt-get. The VPS provider runs OpenVZ (kernel 2.6.32).

My goal is to have a working mail server with OpenChange.

After installing the Zentyal 4.1, I created a sudo user for web console login. I logged in as the sudo account and ran through the wizard and installed packages. I set up networking and also set a firewall any-any rule to allow access while configuring.
I fired up networking module which killed my access. I rebooted the server and it came back online fine. I then tried to enable the remaining modules (FW, AV, DNS, Domain Controller, Mail, Mail Filter, OpenChange). Upon saving changes I get the following output.

Code: [Select]

Some modules reported error when saving changes . More information on the logs in /var/log/zentyal/

I have tried tearing down this VM and rebuilding it multiple times all with issues. This time I enabled debug from the start, here is a link to the log:

I see someone else reported a similar issue on a 3.5 version but got no response. Maybe this is something simple, if so, please by all means tell me what I am missing.

This appears to be an issue with the networking component of Zentyal not playing well with certain VPS providers. The component in question is point-to-point tunneling for the ip addressing. Point-to-point tunneling shows up in the networking like this:
inet addr:nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn  P-t-P:nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn  Bcast:0.0.0.0  Mask:255.255.255.255 

You will see that the inet addr and P-t-P will have identical addresses and the Mask will be 255.255.255.255
Zentyal appears to not be able to handle a P-t-P address or the 255.255.255.255 Mask.

In this case I am doing testing at time4vps.eu. I can run pretty much every other service fine on this hosting provider, but Zentyal does not play nice.

1) It would be nice if Zentyal could give some sort of better error message that the issue is networking instead of the crap it outputs.
2) It would be great if the forum had more responses from people who know the platform. I see MANY questions that just sit without a single response.
3) I would gladly pay for a VPS at this provider if Zentyal wants to do some testing to be able to support providers who use PTP.

Hi,
I updated to 4.1.5 from 4.1.3 and got the same errors. I'm on a similar VPS like you, but somehow it worked with all the updates from 3.5 'till this update. At the beginning I had to try (install) three times till I didn't get errors when activating openchange and mail. Tried any configurations with the venet0, but without luck. So now I'm stucked again! What a pitty....
