Installation and Upgrades / Upgrade from ebox 1.5.1x to zentyal 2.0

« on: September 01, 2010, 08:51:26 pm »

Well, everything went smoothly. Didn't even have to reboot, but I did a couple minutes later anyway.

I made sure I was at the latest 1.5 in the old PPA before upgrading.

Installation and Upgrades / Help! Locked out of my 2.0RC box by new Admin Username

« on: August 27, 2010, 02:53:00 am »

Did a update an hour ago to 1.5.14, now zentyal's asking for a *username* to login to the admin console... (Yay!)

What's the default username? I tried admin, root, user, kamilion, nothing worked, and I'm locked out of the webconsole.

Edit:
Easy fix. SSH in and add the admin group. (It will do nothing if the group already exists.)

Code: [Select]

addgroup --system admin

Code: [Select]

Adding group `admin' (GID 121) ...
Done.

Code: [Select]

addgroup --system admin

Code: [Select]

addgroup: The group `admin' already exists as a system group. Exiting.


Code: [Select]

adduser kamilion admin

Code: [Select]

Adding user `kamilion' to group `admin' ...
Adding user kamilion to group admin
Done.


Code: [Select]

getent passwd kamilion

Code: [Select]

kamilion:*:2001:1901:Graham Cantin:/home/kamilion:/bin/bash


Code: [Select]

getent group admin

Code: [Select]

admin:x:121:kamilion

In this case, admin is a local group, and kamilion is a zentyal ldap user.

OPTIONALLY, allow sudo access* for 'admin' group users:

Code: [Select]

echo "%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL" >> /etc/sudoers
* Cribbed from Ubuntu Forums

Installation and Upgrades / Cron job error: mail_messagerun-parts

« on: August 19, 2010, 06:25:44 am »

Getting this email hourly from cron on my 1.5.12 test rig.
Have not done anything tricky to it; all stock packages, templates, and stubs.

Code: [Select]

/etc/cron.hourly/90manageEBoxLogs:
More than one result for lastConsolidationDate for mail_messagerun-parts: /etc/cron.hourly/90manageEBoxLogs exited with return code 25

How can I fix this; and how can it be prevented from recurring in the future?

Needed a reboot at the end because the ebox admin webserver did not come back up.
Other than that; the migration to redis went perfect!

Using the admin site seems much quicker now.

Good show guys!

Installation and Upgrades / eBox 1.5/2.0 on Cloud Services (Rackspacecloud)

« on: July 19, 2010, 10:50:17 pm »

Howdy!
I've got 1.5.7 running on one of my rackspace instances.

One of the issues I've run into is that ebox wants to manage the network interfaces.

The /etc/network/interfaces looks similar to this on a fresh rackspace instance:

Code: [Select]

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
    address 174.143.151.138
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    gateway 174.143.151.1
    dns-nameservers 72.3.128.240 72.3.128.241

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
    address 10.177.34.130
    netmask 255.255.224.0

up route add -net 10.176.0.0 netmask 255.248.0.0 gw 10.177.32.1
down route del -net 10.176.0.0 netmask 255.248.0.0 gw 10.177.32.1
up route add -net 10.191.192.0 netmask 255.255.192.0 gw 10.177.32.1
down route del -net 10.191.192.0 netmask 255.255.192.0 gw 10.177.32.1

The routes it adds are for rackspace's ServiceNet, a secondary interface that provides free transport to other instances in the same datacenter.

I'm working on figuring out how to set up the same behavior via eBox.

This system will become our mailhub and central authentication source, and I'll be slaving our existing internal eBox 1.4 router to it once I upgrade it to 1.5.

In trying to add the routes, I've discovered that eBox doesn't fully populate the CIDR picklist.
There's a gap in between /16 and /8, and I need /13.
My routes in this case should be:

10.176.0.0/13     gw:10.177.32.1
10.191.192.0/18 gw: 10.177.32.1

So, for now, I'm working around it like this:
I need 10.176.0.0 - 10.183.255.255

so:
10.191.192.0/18 gw: 10.177.32.1
10.176.0.0/16 gw:10.177.32.1
10.177.0.0/16 gw:10.177.32.1
10.178.0.0/16 gw:10.177.32.1
10.179.0.0/16 gw:10.177.32.1
10.180.0.0/16 gw:10.177.32.1
10.181.0.0/16 gw:10.177.32.1
10.182.0.0/16 gw:10.177.32.1
10.183.0.0/16 gw:10.177.32.1

This is icky, but it works.

Created a ticket to track this issue: #2008

Installation and Upgrades / How to backup a single component's configuration

« on: February 23, 2010, 01:28:09 am »

Howdy folks.
I've got a client's system here with 1.3 on it that he wants to blow away and reinstall 1.4 from scratch.
But: he wants to keep his OpenVPN keys and CA setup.

What's the best way to dump and restore the configuration of a single module (OpenVPN) like this?

I've tried shutting off the other services before doing the backup, but because OpenVPN depends on Network and Firewall, I get them inside the backup too.

How can I get a backup of the OpenVPN CA and Certificates so I can import it onto a brand new box?

Installation and Upgrades / Kamilion's Ebox Tweaks

« on: December 02, 2009, 10:57:38 pm »

This is gonna be a big thread, once I document all the hacks and tweaks I've done to my installation.

To start off, some links to the Installer Improvements threads:
Main Thread:
http://forum.ebox-platform.com/index.php?topic=2153
My Installer:
http://forum.ebox-platform.com/index.php?topic=1963.0

Some background on my situation:

I work for a subcontractor for NASA Ames Research Center (ARC).
ARC has good, decently configured firewalls with a default-deny policy. (Always Best)

However, this means that lots of stuff breaks. So, we're going to have to get creative to fix it.
