Installation and Upgrades / Bootloop Issue when Login to System

« on: June 05, 2018, 08:59:39 am »

Hi All,

I am looking for some assistance with my system, recently it has come up with the following error:

No space left on device at /usr/share/perl5/Log/Log4perl/Appender/File.pm line 268

or the full one:

Cannot write to '/var/log/zentyal/zentyal.log': Operation not permitted at /usr/share/perl5/Log/Log4perl/Appender/File.pm line 268

I cannot get to the GUI or cannot login to the system via the desktop.

I have truncated the log files, and deleted old log files and still no luck.

This is starting to annoy me as it happens about once every two weeks and I have to go on a deleting spree to try and at least get the system up and running, but then it doesnt take long for this to happen again, and I have more than 70GB of free space on the drive as well.

Any advice in fixing this up it would be much appreciated.

(PS) I noticed that in the bug tracker this was a known issues with version 3 and in early versions of 4, it would seem this bug/issue has transposed over into the current version again.

Desperate for some help!

Cheers,

David.

Installation and Upgrades / [RESOLVED] Fresh Install of 5.0.9 Antivirus Wont Work

« on: September 19, 2017, 12:52:59 am »

Hi Community,

After being forced to freshly install the latest version 5.0.9 from 5.0.8, I am now not able to get antivirus working:

Antivirus   Stopped

No matter how many times I click the restart button or when it changes to start, it just remains on stopped.

Everything else has started working jut not that.

I have disabled the module and re-enabled it and that still does not work.

Is there anyway I can get it forced to come on via command line or something? Every single e-mail now is coming through as ***UNCHECKED*** or they are not coming through at all.

I have to say, after spending near on 18 hours trying to resolve the massive crash that took place when upgrading from 5.0.8 to the latest version, I learnt a lot about mail servers, given the continual problems with Zentyal, Axigen is looking more and more promising... You may not get ActiveSync with the free version, but the rest of it is very polished, and I think I might consider paying.

If anyone has any suggestions on how to get antivirus to work, it would be greatly appreciated.


Cheers,

David.

Installation and Upgrades / Upgrade from 5.0.8 to 5.0.9 Fails

« on: September 18, 2017, 01:55:36 am »

Hi Team & Community,

Today I was notified in the Web Interface that there was an upgrade from 5.0.8 to 5.0.9, so I clicked on that link and it directed me to the Wiki (Which is how to install from scratch not upgrade).

So I proceeded to follow the instructions, but now it is just stuck on the following:

Setting up zentyal-dns (5.0.3) ...

It wont move from that and has been stuck on that for hours, now when I go to do anything everything just goes to crap.

The whole system wont recover from this and I am not sure what to do now to get it up and going.

I am thinking it might be time to move onto Zimbra as this just happens on every single upgrade, I thought going to 5 was supposed to make things better or easier as it did not use modified systems, but it would seem that it does still and following the procedure as outlined in the Wiki just breaks it.

Has anyone hit this problem and resolved it?

Also I note that since upgrading to 5.0.8 from the last version of stable 4.X.X, Spamassin no longer works proper and lets in more than double the amount of spam.

I would appreciate any help you have on this.

Cheers,

David.

Installation and Upgrades / Slow E-mail Delivery & Overkill of eBox delivery messages in the Queue [SOLVED]

« on: October 07, 2015, 02:31:26 am »

Hi Zentyal Team & Community,

First love the whole concept of what Zentyal is, the interface and just how simple it looks.

However I am in need of the community support as I have some impacting issues right now that I just cannot figure out 

Issues:

1. E-mails taking up to 4-6 hours when Grey List is turned off or 6-12 hours when turned on (Or not at all) to send or receive

2. Mail Queue becoming overwhelmed with messages like the following:
- ebox@zentyal.mydomain.com to root@zentyal.mydomain.com
- Reaching now close to 30K of them and shortly the Queue Management will stop working as it did with the last 14 install attempts

3. Seeing high spikes in CPU and Memory and then about an hour later it will drop, though the spikes are randomly changing from each different Zentyal service, and through each install the services that spike change nothing is consistent

4. Grey List just outright rejecting every e-mail and not learning, so having to be forced to whitelist e-mails... I am not sure if this is just a lack of understanding of how Grey Lists work, but my wife subscribes to about 20 odd sites that send out EDM's, these just don't get auto learned or whitelisted or however it works (Happy to take advice on this one).


What I have done so far:

1. I have done 15 different rebuild in total, not including about 8 different AWS instances and attempting to migrate the server from my home to an EC (Free) instance, that was just not a good experience

2. Tried different hardware and hardware rebuilds

3. Tried the official Zentyal install ISO (That one was corrupted really bad)

So far no install has ever gone smoothly without having to do some form of clean or auto clean, and dependencies becoming corrupted or not installing, it has been fun doing all these multiple install and learning more about linux than I thought I would... But I really would like to get this to a stage where it just works.

Now I have seen one other install where it just works and e-mails are delivered within minutes, and my Citadel Server worked smoothly as well but lacked the functions of Zentyal, I don't want to go back to Group-Office or Citadel so I am hoping I can get some community input into my woes with my setups.

Thanks in advance community 

Cheers,

David.


[SOLVED]

Well for the 15th time I decided to do another re-install, this time I used the pre-built version but re-downloaded it and burnt it to a DVD instead of a USB stick and it installed correctly without corruption, these are the steps I followed.


DEVICE:

* 18 Month Old Lenovo Laptop that become redundant - Core Duo vPro with 4GB RAM


STEPS FOLLOWED:

* Downloaded latest Official Zentyal Install ISO
* Burnt ISO to DVD using Windows 10 ISO-TO-DVD (USB just simply did not work, the boot up would always be corrupted)
* Followed the install guide step by step (Not the Manual Install Guide) *** It did fail during the install a couple of times but I just kept on telling it to redo the component install
* Immediate after the Admin GUI come on line, did the 178 Updates including the security ones and Kernel
* Configured all the major stuff first before even touch the users and doing the virtual domain
* Configured extended features such as the filtering (But left Grey List off as this version of it is very aggressive and does have a high miss rate on auto learning)
* Added Virtual Domain (My Domain)
* Manually via CLI added the Active Sync component to OpenChange
* Created the Certificates this time using a less convoluted and complex name
* Added the users in and configured them
* Did some general clean up and then did a full reboot using the GUI to initiate it


It is working now flawlessly, tho I have no intentions now of configuring or changing anything, I just want it to sit there and do what I want it to
