Installation and Upgrades / My failed attempt at upgading from 7.1.1 to Zentyal 8.0
« on: March 29, 2024, 11:29:26 pm »
I wanted to upload a PDF attachment to show dialogue boxes with this report, but was unable to do so. The PDF was 179KB but there was no upload space.
Hope it helps
My attempt at carrying out an upgrade to Zentyal Version 8 from an up to date version of Zentyal 7.1.1
Platform: QEMU-KVM Hypervsisor host on HPE Proliant DL380 Gen9 running Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS server with updates to 28th March 2024 including ESM updates.
VM 8vCPU, 8G Ram scsi drives on *.qcow2 2 x virtio bridge network connections
The dialogue below is misleading as it suggests that the Upgrade is finished and you can click close, but leave it open, In a separate shell monitor dpkg.log for progress ‘tail -f /var/log/dkpg.log’
Even though it will display ‘Finishing the upgrade’ watch the dpkg.log for the update finished message before clicking on ‘Close’
From dkpg.log
Click Close on Upgrading to Zentyal 8.0 dialogue and then reboot the system.
A stop job for Zentyal will delay the reboot for 1min 30sec
When the system restarted, the Zentyal logger daemon repeatedly stopped and started which might be a clue to issues ahead.
On restart, the Dashboard looked OK, but the Antivirus service failed to start. Also, the mysql service also failed due to permission issues on lock directory and missing log folder /var/log/mysql
This prevented the zentyal-core update script running to complete the install process.

Contributions / Tips&Tricks / Features Requests / Suggestion to improve output of smart-admin-report
« on: April 09, 2020, 11:53:23 am »
Thanks to Zentyal briefing to use this feature in the Community version.
Suggested updates to /usr/share/zentyal/smart-admin-report: -
########
## Server packages
########
Issue, the report states that there are 1 upgradable packages available when there is no packages in that state.
Line 140: Change "apt list --upgradable 2> /dev/null | wc -l" to "apt list --upgradable 2> /dev/null|awk '{if(NR>1)print}' | wc -l"
###################
# Antivirus module #
###################
Issue, Last ClamAV database update: the output is blank
Line 387 change "grep 'Database updated' /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log | tail -1 | awk '{print $1,$2,$3,$4,$5}'" to "clamscan --version | awk '{split($0,a,"/");print a[3]}'"
This will detail the database date of the current signatures.
Tested successfully on Zentyal Community Edition Version 6.1.2 running on Ubuntu Linux 18.04.3, running as a VM on Hyper-V.
Added 10-Apr-2020
Line 142 Change "grep -ai zentyal-auto-updater /var/log/syslog | awk '{print $1,$2,$3}' | tail -1" to "grep -ai auto-updater /var/log/syslog | awk '{print $1,$2,$3}' | tail -1"

Other modules / I would like to know where the Network/Objects are stored?
« on: April 21, 2017, 11:54:47 am »
I am running 4.25 (still on Ubuntu 14.04LTS)
I keep a Network Object list of Banned IP's from mail spammers that try and use us either to send spam or relay. Those servers that continually fail SASL login or use false FQDN get added to this list weekly. A little like Fail2Ban (but I haven't got that to work yet
)
Can anyone point me to how Zentyal generates this list of objects when selected through the WEB GUI interface where I can add, delete or modify them. I cannot find any text file or SQL table where they are stored and am not Perl savvy enough to work out the code.
Your help would be most appreciated.
Thank you
