Installation and Upgrades / Re: €uro Symbol and Email
« on: December 04, 2009, 12:00:20 pm »1. The euro symbol does not display correctly in email. In its place I get a ? I know that egroupware offers different options for setting the character set but from past experience changing these options broke our installation. What is the best way of supporting the euro symbol?
I remember this, I'll check this and see if I can find a solution.
2. I have two email aliases. One is the default for the virtual mail domain I setup and the other is my work email address. How can I change the default email address in egroupware so that each time I send an email I dont have to manually change the email address to my work one?
I was having a look at the options and at the code and apparently there is no way to change this from the interface. I could try to come up with a patch for the code for this, but wouldn't be a 'clean' solution. If it's really important, I can give it a try.
3. My final question is to do with IMAP. I have attempted to access my ebox email using Thunderbird over IMAP. I have IMAP enabled on ebox but Thunderbird times out when I attempt to connect to it. Is this an known issue or this there some other means to enable this?
The 'time out' seems to indicate that the port it's trying to connect is closed, but I remember we tried to telnet the IMAP port and it's open. Maybe Thunderbird is trying to connect to a different port, you can check the port it's trying to connect using netstat ( http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/netstat.mspx?mfr=true). You can also try to enable IMAPS on eBox and try to set up Thunderbird to use IMAPS instead of IMAP.
Cheers!

Hi Peter!
This looks interesting indeed and might have something to do with it.
I'll look into it today and let you know, in any case, the slave configuration is quite complex and it's not as easy as 'sync it all'
Cheers!

You can run:
sudo -u ebox psql -U ebox eboxlogs
Have a look at the available tables typing:
\d
and then issue 'DELETE FROM' statements for the tables such as:
DELETE FROM access;
This will delete all the rows of that table.
Cheers!

Installation and Upgrades / Re: How to install eBox on Debian Lenny
« on: December 01, 2009, 05:07:32 pm »
Cool
Some things might not work out of the box, but it will just be a matter of changing small things, such as some paths or things like that, or tweaking slightly the configuration of some daemons as the versions in lenny and hardy can be a bit different, and you might also need to grab some packages from Ubuntu. But other than that it should be ok

Installation and Upgrades / Re: eBox for a large scale deployment (a really nasty bug)
« on: December 01, 2009, 02:07:54 am »
As I replied in your other post, eBox uses upstart and upstart doesn't work inside a chroot, so that way doesn't look too good.
On the other hand, eBox should work in lenny with just a few modifications, especially if you are just interested in a few modules like in this case. I would encourage you to just install the libebox and ebox packages for Hardy in Lenny, see what happens and report back any problem with that (you'll need upstart from experimental too). Once that's working install one by one the other modules and report here if they give any problems and we'll help you out with them.
Cheers!

« on: December 01, 2009, 02:02:50 am »
Hi!
The problem is not just ebox-samba but every service. eBox uses upstart to manage some services and upstart can't be used within a chroot

Installation and Upgrades / Re: Ebox 1.3 error - Failed to enable: Can't bind to LDAP with the provided password
« on: November 24, 2009, 11:58:22 am »
You just have to enter in the Users -> Mode menu the password you set when installing LDAP.
Then you should be able to enable the Users module.
Reconfiguring the slapd package most likely won't change the password, so make sure you don't forget about the first password. You can change the password by other means though.
In any case we know that this method is not the best one and it is going to change before 1.4 is out.

Installation and Upgrades / Re: How to upload webpage contend???
« on: November 22, 2009, 02:05:06 am »Thank you I got that part right but now it tells me I cant move it because access denied
I used mv home/hannes/CSIWISP.html -t /var/www
mv: cannot move `/home/hannes/CSIWISP.html' to `/var/www/CSIWISP.html':
Permission denied
What can I do now Sorry to bug you like this but this is the only way I would be able to learn how to do it myself!!
You have to run the command as administrator, for that, just write 'sudo' before the command.
You can move the file using:
Code: [Select]
sudo mv /home/hannes/CSIWISP.html /var/www

Download 'putty' from http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html and use it to SSH into your ebox machine.
Once you have done that, you have a shell where you can write commands to move the files you have uploaded to the appropriate place. You can read about moving files here:
http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/unix2.html
The directory used by the webserver is /var/www, so you'll need to move the stuff there.
Cheers!

« on: November 01, 2009, 01:59:47 pm »
Uhm, from your logs it seems that somehow gconf is not running properly. Did you install the Hardy packages in Jaunty? If you did, that's probably the cause.

Sorry about this problem, we have already fixed it and it won't happen in the next release.
For now the easiest thing you can do is remove /etc/init.d/apparmor:

Hi peterr! Besides the 'disabled' problems (you can fix this by removing '/etc/init.d/apparmor', and then ebox won't try to do anything), the issue seems to be that you are setting the wrong password.
In the slave you should set as password the content of the file /var/lib/ebox/conf/ebox-ldap.passwd in the master.
The exact steps are written here:
http://trac.ebox-platform.com/wiki/Document/HowTo/EBoxMasterSlaveSetup
Best regards

Installation and Upgrades / Re: UserCorner refused connection
« on: October 16, 2009, 10:43:49 am »
The usercorner apache logs its errors in /var/log/ebox-usercorner/error.log. The messages you get are warnings, annoying, but not harmful.
There was some problem in the usercorner that got fixed just a few days ago, maybe it's not still in the packages. Post the related contents from the usercorner error.log and we'll see if it's that.
Cheers!
