Either using the ISO or installing on top of Ubuntu 14.04 from the official 3.5 archive should work the same

Installation and Upgrades / Re: Zentyal 3.4 Error After Most Recent Update
« on: June 11, 2014, 03:39:03 pm »Actually it looks like one of the problems is debug mode is turned on, which is filling up my log and making it impossible to troubleshoot the firewall issue. How do I turn that off?
Set debug = no in /etc/zentyal/zentyal.conf

News and Announcements / Zentyal 3.5: OpenLDAP removal completed and available for testing
« on: June 04, 2014, 06:55:32 pm »
Hi Zentyal community,
OpenLDAP removal has taken a bit longer than initially expected but we were really committed in getting this into the 3.5 release, alongside with the switch to the new distribution base: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. We have therefore decided to postpone the release date until July 1st, to respect the code freeze period in our release policy and our QA time requirements.
We've also decided to move the usercorner and captiveportal to contrib, there wasn't enough time to adapt them properly to work with Samba4 instead of OpenLDAP and our main focus is to provide a native replacement of Windows Small Business Server + Exchange. The bwmonitor module will be also no longer officially maintained as it was mostly a dependency of captiveportal. This will definitely allow us to concentrate more effort in maintaining other more critical modules, but remember that any effort from the community wanting to keep maintaining these modules (or any other of the previously unmaintained ones) will be really welcome.
Remember also that removing OpenLDAP and having only Samba4 as a single LDAP server instead of having to keep 2 LDAPs in sync, will simplify a lot the Zentyal architecture and will for sure result in a better user experience. When we first announced this removal some people were confused thinking that Zentyal won't be LDAP compatible any more, but Samba4 also implements LDAP and there is nothing to worry here. What this means for the Zentyal users is basically less bugs
From now on, we encourage you to test a fresh install of the 3.5 daily build ISO and start reporting any problem you encounter to ensure they are fixed before the final release. But please, remember that daily builds are in no way recommended for production environment, and upgrades from a previous 3.5 installation are also not guaranteed.

Installation and Upgrades / Re: 3.5 from daily iso, lvm error in KVM by setup

This was a problem in the Ubuntu base ISO we were using, it should be fixed already.

News and Announcements / Re: Zentyal 3.5 Roadmap announced (some modules moved to Contrib)
« on: May 02, 2014, 03:16:52 pm »I'll put this out there too, and I know not everyone will agree with me on this, but I value the choice of which protocols are readily available, even if I don't use them all simultaneously. I do currently use FTP and not Samba on my main Zentyal server. "We think you should use this protocol, so this other one is going bye-bye" is a very Microsoft/Apple way of thinking that doesn't befit a Linux distro. Making an open replacement for Active Directory and Exchange is a noble goal... Just don't lose sight of your values in the process.
The thing is that if you want to keep using FTP, you can (Zentyal is based on Ubuntu so the same things still apply):
https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/serverguide/ftp-server.html
And also don't forget that we will be really happy if anyone from the community volunteers for maintaining the zentyal-ftp module for the forthcoming versions (the code won't be deleted, it's just moved to the contrib section of our Git repo instead of being in main). The thing is we need to focus our resources in providing this Active Directory and Exchange replacement, so we can't keep maintaining as much modules as we did in the past with the "all-in-one" focus.

Yes, samba also implements LDAP protocol, so it will work all the same. We're just reducing the complexity of having two systems synchornized providing the same, leaving only one of them (the more complete in functionality, which is Samba).

Installation and Upgrades / Re: After update to 3.4 - Nothing Working
« on: April 22, 2014, 09:43:23 am »
Hi,
This has been fixed (for new upgrades) in the upgrade script of zentyal-core 3.3.10
If you have already upgraded, there is a better hotfix for it without having to clean the whole webadmin conf:
Thanks everybody for your feedback!

Hola,
No hay limitaciones, simplemente no cuenta con soporte oficial ni esta tan probada como las ediciones comerciales, con lo cual se desaconseja su uso para produccion salvo que tengas los conocimientos y el tiempo necesario para mantenerlo y probarlo todo por ti mismo.

« on: April 20, 2014, 06:43:10 pm »Btw, not having an FTP module doesn't mean you can' t install FTP server software on a Zentyal server.
Exactly, and it's very well documented

Installation and Upgrades / Re: Can't boot after upgrade to 3.4: error: file not found. grub rescue>
« on: April 20, 2014, 11:23:19 am »
Would be nice to know which kernel packages did you have before the upgrade and which one after?
This can be checked with "dpkg -l | grep linux-image"
To rescue your system I recommend you to use a Zentyal or Ubuntu Server ISO and select the boot from hardisk option. Then you should have a shell to be able to play with update-grub or grub-install commands.
Anyway, this seems more an issue of the upgrade from Ubuntu 12.04 to 13.10 than a Zentyal issue, we can't really do much here, I suggest you to ask for some help in Ubuntu forums.
By the way, if you are trying to upgrade your production server directly instead of on a testing environment first, that's not recommended because upgrading is a complex process and there may always have some problems.
As you can check in the release policy in the "Upgrades between releases" section:
http://www.zentyal.org/zentyal-release-policy/
"If a user has a Zentyal Community Edition in a production environment, he/she is expected to have a testing environment where the upgrade is first tested and if any issues arise, to report them to Zentyal. The upgrade in a production environment should not take place until all the pending issues are fixed and the process is flawless."

Installation and Upgrades / Re: apt-get update can't get Zentyal ppa
« on: April 20, 2014, 11:12:57 am »This particular machine began as a clean 3.0 installation and it has been upgraded multiple times up to 3.3.9. Given that I have never (ever) set a PPA in Zentyal, these incorrect PPAs were either set by an official installation disk or by one of the upgrade scripts in the past, created by a Zentyal developer.
I'm not blaming you, just trying to understand what happened. First of all thanks for providing more information. Obviously the 3.0 installer set the launchpad ppa and archive.zentyal repos in the first place. What should have happened then is:
- When upgraded from 3.0 to 3.2, we just replaced the substring as you say, and that worked without problem for everybody.
- When upgrading from 3.2 to 3.3 via the official procedure (button on the UI), first thing the upgrade code did is search for the 3.2 launchpad repo and delete it. So here's why I still don't understand how you ended with a launchpad repo in Zentyal 3.3.
I will release zentyal-core 3.3.10 asap with the extra safety step of removing the launchpad repo, but I'm really curious to know what failed in the process.
You say that "When programming for an upgrade, you can't just assume things based on the latest editions you see of each version's code base.", but we've always stated that to upgrade to a newer version first you need to be properly upgraded to the previous one, otherwise is not going to work (there is a lot of migration code that needs to be executed in the proper sequence). Upgrades are not easy and we try to do our best with each new release (in fact we have already improved a lot because in older versions of Zentyal wasn't possible to upgrade at all).
So, final questions (thanks for your patience):
- Is it possible that you upgraded directly from 3.0 to 3.3? (I suppose it's not, but just in case...)
- Did you upgrade from 3.2 to 3.3 using the button on the dashboard?
