Connecting Zentyal to Ubuntu Desktop 10.04.1

[johnaaronrose]

I'm new to Zentyal. I'm using latest Zentyal 2.0.15 with all software updates installed. I have both Zentyal & Ubuntu Desktop 10.04.1 installed as VMs using Virtualbox. Zentyal has eth1 connected as NAT network adapter (in effect to external WAN) and eth0 as Internal Network network adapter (ip 192.168.3.1 with mask of 255.255.255.0). This is same as I used on a working SME Server setup. Network & DHCP are installed and operating (i.e. ticked on appropriate lines under direct Module Status). However, on the Dashboard the Module Status is shown as stopped and clicking Start does not change this. Ubuntu is not being granted an ip lease on the internal network. DHCP (under Infrastructure) has correct Interface IP Address, Subnet & Available Range.

Logs?

There is no dhcp log for the domain according to Zentyal.  Also, there is no dhcp.log in /var/log. Please tell me where to look.

One of the first logs to check is /var/log/ebox/ebox.log.
It helps to open a SSH session, type tail -f /var/log/ebox/ebox.log and follow the entries as the are created while you are working on the Web front-end.
This way, you may get a clue on what is preventing those modules from starting.
Most likely there is some error in some configuration file (it may be a bug in Zentyal).
Anyway, give it a try.

DHCP (under Infrastructure) has correct Interface IP Address, Subnet & Available Range.

Note that the DHCP service will not start if a lease range is not created. The available range is the available address space under the current subnet mask, not the range of addresses actually available to DHCP clients. A range of addresses that can be leased out must be created. After that, the DHCP service should start.

Thank you, Sam Graf. I did as you said and Ubuntu Desktop was given a dhcp lease and I was able to connect to th einternet through Zentyal. Now to try out the ldap user facilities etc.

I tried to login to a user created in Zentyal server. However, Ubuntu 10.04.1 Desktop with zentyal-package installed gives Authentication Failure . any ideas?

[Jan Jacobs]

can you give us the failure? what does it say?

[johnaaronrose]

Only 'Authentication Failure' is displayed. That disappears within a few seconds. auth log is attached as a tar.gz as it's 150 kb uncompressed (i.e. too big for this forum's attachment max size).
