Email and Groupware / Re: Postgres process hogging HDD 90% of the time.
« on: January 10, 2017, 06:02:39 am »
Try this:
Setup Thunderbird on your own desktop/laptop. Set it up to connect to the old server with your account (IMAP). Set up a separate account on the "new" server for yourself and connect to it via Thunderbird as well.
Select a random group of messages on the old server in Thunderbird and then right click --->copy---new server---inbox. This should work in all cases.
If you are dealing with a handful of users I suggest having the users migrate themselves just like this. This takes the logistics problems out of your court and gives the users a little ownership of the outcome. Depending on your tolerance for hand holding , I think this would be a workable solution for about 30-40 users. Do you have any more than that? I can suggest a more automated approach if needed.

I am assuming that you probably have pulled the trigger on a re-install given your silence on this subject. Hopefully things are working now for you.

It has been awhile since you replied last. The gist of the solution you are looking for is to stand up a new email server that supports IMAP and then use a tool such as IMAPCopy to move things from one server to the other. The details of how you get there are dependant on the software that is actually in use. Since I don't have all the details I am not in a position to advise further. If someday you return to this issue I hope you find this useful.
Good luck

I am thinking that it should be possible but I still don't know if you are using Zarafa or roundcube. One of them uses mbox format (Roundcube) and the other uses a proprietary database format (Zarafa). Zarafa is actually pretty painless to migrate users because it has facilities to disable password checking (and therefore letting you migrate mailboxes from one machine to another via imap copy tools).
I assume that you have a machine that you can perform testing on? A virtual machine environment perhaps?

I believe what you are looking for is zentyal.loggerd.service.

Installation and Upgrades / Re: Can you upgrade a zombie version?
« on: December 30, 2016, 06:36:31 pm »
From what I recall, there was no easy path to upgrade from 2.x to 3.x. By the time you have this worked out, it probably would have been more expedient to just stand up fresh and rejoin everyone.

Installation and Upgrades / Re: Incorrect Login after installation on Ubuntu 16.10
« on: December 30, 2016, 06:34:19 pm »
To determine who may access the zentyal admin web page look at /etc/security/zentyal.conf . By default in 5.0 anyone in the admin or sudo groups may. Personally I would create another user other than root to do this work.

You say that no logs are working? Is the zentyal mysql password correct? Look in
Run
Code: [Select]
/var/lib/zentyal/conf/zentyal-mysql.passwd Run
Code: [Select]
mysql -u zentyal -pWhen it prompts you provide the password from the file above. Database access is a common thread between all of the zentyal logging.

You haven't mentioned this elsewhere would you tell me if this machine is physical or virtual? Are there backups available for the server? From your description I think it would be fairly straightforward to migrate away from a 2 series to something newer if you are interested.

One more question, are errors showing up in /var/log/zentyal/zentyal.log ? Maybe there is a clue there.

Is this a vm or a physical machine? I am thinking that disabling and then re-enabling the mail module should do the trick. If not then doing the same to the log module would be the next things I try. If this is a vm I would start with either a backup or a snapshot (depending on the technology employed).

Other modules / Re: Dynamic DNS in 5.0

I am not sure what you are referring to. Below is a 5.0 machine with dhcp activated and showing dynamic dns options.

The fact that the table exists means that the init scripts ran for mail. Chances are a cold restart will clear this issue up. Have you restarted the system since noticing the isssue?

Would you :
open a command line and become root
Copy and paste any response including errors if any. Post them here. The command simply looks to see if the table that receives that data is populating.

I just noticed that you ran the ss commands as a normal user. If you are not using root, you don't have the necessary permissions to see the application name or pid info. My mistake, I should have included a sudo command in front of each command above or specified to become root.
By the way since Ubuntu doesn't define a root password by default you will have to do something similar to the following to become root:

Once you are finished with admin type functions you just type exit to return to your standard user.
