Installation and Upgrades / [Solved] Zentyal system upgrade failure.

« on: March 06, 2011, 09:54:19 pm »

Operational instance of Zentyal 2.1.15 in virtual box under host Ubuntu 10.04.1, has been running fine and upgrading since install of 2.0
Dashboard showed 2.1.16 available.
Fired off system upgrade, large upgrade with Kernel and Firefox, maybe sql, not sure, from the dashboard, had not upgrade Zentyal core yet.
After some time the browser stilled showed downloading Firefox, even though network traffic to server had stopped some time ago.
Browser then showed an error:

Has been reboot from the ssh cli twice.

Any suggestions?

If I have to use an exported image to start over how can I fire off the system and kernel upgrades without this crash again?

Again, currently, the file sharing and mail servers are still running on this install.

I am willing to troubleshoot this with some help if anyone is interested.

Installation and Upgrades / missing samba services

« on: September 08, 2010, 01:36:32 am »

On a 2.0 test install, upgraded from 1.5 without ldap used and working file sharing fw enabled, after a few reboots, file sharing failed for any node to Zentyal, eventually, troubleshooting, I realized the Zentyal firewall was stopping file sharing, disabled the firewall and filesharing worked, sorta, only with admin permissions, anyway, I note that there are no samba related services, nothing for the appropriate ports, I'm sure it was there before, it's been rebooted since I noted the fw issue.

I updated to 2.0.1 and no change to services. It's a local lan server with one nic so the fw isn't required but still.... where'd those samba services/ports go?

Additionally, why can't the user write with read/write permissions instead of admin permissions?

Installation and Upgrades / Restart suggestion

« on: August 24, 2010, 03:22:06 am »

I noted Zentyal rc1 was available, I booted 1.5.11, ran apt-get update, then at the gui, ran the component update, no sys update available at that point, after completion, ran the sys update since the kernel updates were then available, that completed fine, but, the Ebox emblem and a few other items were still present, though at the bottom it said Zentyal by ebox.

So, from the gui, I ran the reboot, after it came back up the Zentyal logo was up in the upper left corner instead of ebox, Zentyal logo looks much nicer up there.

I would suggest, there be a dialog to suggest a reboot for full changes to take effect.

I can't remember which kernel was running prior so I can't be sure if I updated the kernel or not, though the system update did list a kernel update, shoulda paid more attention.

Upgrades seemed to go fine, users, mail, webmail all seem fine, though not in production, so.....

Installation and Upgrades / external mail retrieval

« on: August 17, 2010, 11:40:24 pm »

Now that the install has upgrade to 1.5.11 the external email retrieval and the dashboard controls for it now work as expected.

Regarding fetchmail settings.

I've found the /etc/ebox-fetchmail.rc, and would like to change some settings, after editing the file to change the poll time from the default 3 minutes to 10 minutes and adding the keep command, I see that the changes to the file break the fetchmail process.
If the change button is used in the user corner for the particular retreival account without making any actual changes, I find that the /etc/ebox-fetchmail.rc file is changed back to the default settings, 180 sec and without the keep command.

What would be the best way to attain these desired settings to allow keep and extend the polling time?

Installation and Upgrades / Some modules not found.

« on: May 13, 2010, 06:18:38 pm »

Hello,

I'm trying out Ebox.
I've installed Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid 64 bit server on bare metal.
I've added the launchpad repo to sources.
I've installed ebox, networking and services, I have access through the ebox gui from another machine.
I've installed ebox-firewall with apt-get.
I've installed ebox-samba with apt-get.

ebox-security, ebox-ids, ebox-antivirus and ebox-software all return an error E: couldn't find package ebox-*

Does anyone have any suggestions or observations?
