Title: Openchange crashes
Post by: Reisperbachtal on January 03, 2016, 03:36:58 pm
Hello everybody,

I´m having some troubles with openchange on my zentyal installation. When I reboot the machine, openchange starts and works like it should. After a few minutes, the webinterface is really slow and after a while, it doesn´t even respond anymore. I just get a proxy error (502). On the zentyal modules page, openchange is marked as stopped, however there is no "start" button, just a "restart" button. When I press this, it says it has been restarted correctly, if I however open the dashboard a second time it is marked as stopped again. I have to repeat this step a few times until there is a green "start" button. Then openchange starts correctly and works for the next 2 minutes...

I also tried using shell commands for restarting openchange (sudo /etc/init.d/zentyal openchange restart). It says zentyal has been restarted correctly (no matter if I say start or restart), however, it doesn´t work. On Webmin, I saw that there was a 11gb logfile which I deleted using the zentyal interface. I actually shouldn´t have a hardware problem as there are currently only four users, my machine however has an 2014 Intel Xenon, 8GB DDR3 and a 256GB Samsung SSD as the main drive.

If somebody knows how to deal with this, I would really apreciate if could help me.

BTW,

on a vm installation i made before installing zentyal on my production machine (for testing purpose and getting used to), openchange works like it should.

Did you ever get this figured out?  I just went through a very similar situation and honestly I can't say whether it's 100% fixed yet or not.  I can say that it's taking longer than it was to crash but I'm not going to call it fixed for 24 hours or so.
I'm using 3rd party SSL so I had to make the file /etc/Zentyal/stubs/openchange/apach-ocsmanager.conf.mas from the original stub at usr/share/Zentyal/stubs/openchange/apache-ocsmanager.conf.mas which I've done nearly a billion times now.
For some stupid reason that stub file will not work though.  I had to make a backup of the original stub and move my modified copy back into the /usr/share/Zentyal/stubs/openchange directory.
Maybe that's what's going on with your server too.  Hopefully you've already got it fixed though!

Hi trysomething,

unfortunately I didn´t found a solution yet. My plan right now is to wait until the next holidays and then reinstall the whole system. The solution I came up with until that time is to use the "broken" server as a DHCP, DNS, File Server and the virtual machine I created before installing zentyal as my server-os as a mail-server.
