Installation and Upgrades / [SOLVED] Zentyal 4 will not boot on a HP Microserver Gen8, but Ubuntu will.
« on: January 26, 2015, 08:59:51 pm »
I installed Zentyal on a HP Microserver Gen8, and afer install it won't boot from the first disk (HP calls it 'C:', how funny).
I tried several times, and also booted with rescue disk, the install seems to be okay it just doesnt' boot.
Then I installed Ubuntu 14.04 AMD64 and it booted right away.
So, apparentley there is some difference between de Zentyal 4.0 bootloader and the one from Ubuntu.

Installation and Upgrades / Webserver (www-data) reading samba shares
« on: April 08, 2013, 07:05:18 pm »
For some reason the webserver needed to read a specific samba share.
I tried force group www-data in samba.conf, and force user too, didn't work.
Anytime a regular user created a file, it had
username __USERS__
as owner....
The following:
1. rename www-data to www-data2 in /etc/passwd and /etc/group
2. added a new samba user through the webinterface called 'www-data' and added to the share
3. chown where needed.
Of course, had to enable PAM first in LDAP settings.
wbinfo -u listed www-data
id www-data worked
now the webserver can read the share!
Is there any reason not to do it this way, are there securiy concerns, etc?
Cheers!

Installation and Upgrades / [SOLVED] Zentyal extremely slow
« on: December 13, 2010, 02:13:28 pm »
Please see http://www.suares.an/index.php?topic=zentyal-ears for the solution.
Dear people,
When I installed the OLD ebox/zentyal on Ubuntu 8.04, there where many issues with slowness.
Then I moved to the new Zentyal, on 10.04, and it worked all fine for a while. Since some time the slowness is back.
The symptoms are:
- both harddisk leds burn constantly
- everything is slow, loggin in trough the console as well as opening a folder through samba
- there's a very high io/wait when looking at top.
- when looking at iostat there is almost NO disk traffic
This is load picture of a day. there are 4 cpu's only 2 shown.

Installation and Upgrades / Was ebox 1.4 slow during install, up to the point that the install stopped?
« on: July 13, 2010, 03:38:09 pm »
[SOLVED] Please see http://www.suares.an/index.php?topic=zentyal-ears for the solution.
Some people experienced very slow install, even op to the point that the install (seemed to) halt. I had an install crawl to a halt at 67% and then spend 10 hours to get to 75%. This was a clean install from the 1.4 CD.
