Installation and Upgrades / OpenChange causes Samba crash (and then no more usable)
« on: March 25, 2014, 04:13:58 pm »
Hi everybody,
I will try to explain my best the very hard problems I have found installing and configuring Openchange in Zentyal 3.4 (those and a few more in Zentyal 3.3)
I start from a fresh and clean install, choosing "OpenChange Server". Everything goes OK. Domain DC, users, shares, etc... Creating a user, creating an e-mail account, and enable OpenChange mailbox is OK. In fact, I create a profile in Outllok 2007 and everything goes well. Although automatic account configuration does not work (it discovers the server and my e-mail account as I am logged into the domain, but then fails), but manual configuration runs smoothly. I open Outlook and first use goes OK (although a curiosity: after first login folder tree root is called "Mailbox - Full user name"; second and then it is called: "OpenChange: username".
Well, I start trying. I can send and receive mails to/from external accounts and to/from other OpenChange accounts.
The problems begin when I Import something from a .PST (of course I want to keep my old e-mails). Samba crashes! Im fact I get a message in Dashboard about a crash of usr_sbin_samba. Samba and Openchange need to be restarted. But after restarted you can access any other OpenChange mailbox, but not the one that caused the crash. If you use other mailbox, you can connect, send, received and stay connected. If you import something or try to access a mailbox that previously crashed the system, it crashes again, and you need to restart Samba and OpenChange. Sometimes, the whole system.
Apart than the problem itself, i have tried to clean or remove the OpenChange mailboxes, but no success. If I disable an OpenChange account, delete the e-mail account and then create a different account for the user and enable the Openchange Mailbox, it takes the old "corrupted" mailbox. I have tried to unconfigure OpenChange, but I am said "server cannot be unregistered, something like a primary update service relies on it". I have disabled the OpenChange module, and the deleted. Then installed it and enabled. And provisioning it again (with the previous organizations; the system knos about it); and I can access the mailboxes but when I do anything, send a single message, etc... another crash!
Is there any way of cleaning, removing or deprovisioning OpenChange? Or at least removing (not only disabling) a Mailbox?
I know you are going to ask me for reproducing the problem (it has happened to me a lot of times) and send logs and crash files, but I have no way of reproducing the initial state unless reinstalling the whole system, but I have it already working as a primary AD controller, and domain and file sharing services run smoothly... (unless they crash when importing something into OpenChange).
Please, help (I am going mad with this issue). For the last two weeks I have re-installed Zentyal, created a domain, joined 10 computers, created users, take out computers our of the domain, begin again from scratch... And again, and again... First with 3.3, then 3.4
I thought it has relation with a bug opened about importing s/mime messages, but no. It fails as soon as you import anything, and remains unusable.
Thank you everybody in advance. Regards,
Javier
