Installation and Upgrades / Re: remove / zen-desktop / ubuntu-desktop

« on: October 31, 2013, 04:52:36 am »

Thanks for the reply 

It does seem to run just fine the way it is, but would like to know how this is done for any future server I build.

Would also note: This system isn't on a physical either, I have it in a virtual (kvm) environment.

Installation and Upgrades / remove / zen-desktop / ubuntu-desktop

« on: October 30, 2013, 03:56:13 am »

Is there a way to just run the Zentyal server  ? Can I remove or uninstall my zen/ubuntu desktop, without messing up my server config?

I am only either accessing the server via ssh or http so no need to have desktop environment installed  .

Thanks in advance,

Installation and Upgrades / How to change group permission for web VHOST

« on: October 27, 2013, 02:37:20 am »

Let me explain.

I have setup FTP user access which is working great!
I have created a webmaster user to edit our websites. I have created a mount --bind to webmaster home for the /srv/www directory.

Problem is every time I  create a new virtual host, I also have to chown root:webmaster as well as chmod 775 for the /srv/www directories.

Question is how can I write this up to add this to the process for creating a new virtual host?
I am familiar with the zentyal/stubs but dont see where or how it creates the directory within /srv/www.

Thanks in advance

I have been using this distro for over a yr now, and this!!! Oh well what a waste of a yr. going back to setting up all this manually with Ubuntu Server 

Should not be this difficult (all day 14hrs.) to get internet access by local host

Anyone know if I can get paid instance support?

This is very important that I get this up and running.

OK new fresh install, how should I set this up eth0 external, eth1 internal.

ISP dns servers (forwarders) 75.75.75.75, 75.75.76.76

Eth0 external ISP Static (50.199.144.129), subnet 255.255.255.252

Eth1 internal (10.1.10.5), subnet 255.255.255.0

Gateway eth0 50.199.144.130
Gateway eth1 10.1.10.1

I don't have DHCP enabled because my SonicWall handles that, do I need this enabled for it to work?

create a vitrual host for website.. that works nexwrx.com
still cant ping any websites from localhost or gateway addresses.

Hopefully I have been detailed enough, let me know if yo need more information.
Thanks in advance,

Installation and Upgrades / 3.2 Fresh Install No internet access from localhost

« on: October 25, 2013, 01:33:55 am »

I can ping and reach admin panel from client. Can't ping anything from Zentyal localhost.
At first I thought it was because a single nic so I added another one. External eth0 is set with my static ip from ISP. Internal eth1 is set with a local address.

For DNS > Forwarders I have set my router and ISP dns servers, as well as google's 8.8.8.8

Also put in the proper Gateway addresses.
Even tried disabling the firewall because I have a SonicWall appliance so I don't really need this to act as a firewall, just need it to work!

Is there any clear documentation on how to achieve internet access from localhost after a fresh install? I have been at this all day.

Any help here will be greatly appreciated,

Thanks in advance,.

Installation and Upgrades / Re: Zentyal 3.0 updated: gmail smtp Sending Spam on my behalf

Never mind that 

The instructions here tell the person receiving all these backscatters, specifically email_feedback_handler@mta-inbound.cluster3.convio.net how to deal with it.

If the emails were sent by random mail deamons all around the internet to your address, then this would help me out.

Installation and Upgrades / Zentyal 3.0 updated: gmail smtp Sending Spam on my behalf

« on: May 15, 2013, 04:51:16 pm »

As I have posted yesterday here in the wrong place (desktop) 

figured I could at least back link from here http://forum.zentyal.org/index.php/topic,15284.0.html

Anyways I know that this is a bit hard to troubleshoot  , this was my first attempt at Zentyal for mail relay utilizing gmail for SMTP.

Looks like I will be trying this all again  this evening but how can I protect myself from this happening again? I don't need something sending out emails on my behalf.

Installation and Upgrades / Re: Help with virtualbox shared folder permissions for Zentyal users/groups

« on: May 15, 2013, 03:50:06 pm »

on host

try this

Code: [Select]

#sudo bash
#nano -w /etc/samba/samba.conf
make sure you have this all setup

Code: [Select]

[global]

# set YOURWORKGROUP to the name of your workgroup

workgroup = YOURWORKGROUP
netbios name = server
server string = somethingthatmakessense
security = share
encrypt passwords = yes
guest account = guest


#Add this to bottom
path=/shared_directory
writeable=yes
browsable=yes
available = yes
valid users = USERNAME
read only = no
public = yes

don't forget to restart samba:

#sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart


on Zentyal guest I would recommend this:

Code: [Select]

apt-get install cifs-utils
create the directory where you want to mount your share at

Code: [Select]

mkdir /mymounts/sharename
edit the /etc/fstab file

Code: [Select]

//IPaddress or Domain Name/sharename /mnt/homeserver cifs username=jon,password=password,iocharset=utf8,mode=0777,dir_mode=07‌​77 0 0
run command mount -a

hope this works for you.

Installation and Upgrades / Re: Zentyal banned my slave dns

« on: May 15, 2013, 02:49:18 pm »

I had this same issue when setting up Zentyal as a PDC what I had to do was right my nameservers to /etc/resolv.conf and then run the command

Code: [Select]

chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf so it cant be re-written. If you need to write to it again the command is

Code: [Select]

chattr -i /etc/resolv.conf

also note within your /etc/resolv.conf file, put your primary DNS server first in the list, Zentyal wants to put 127.0.0.1 first-- change this or else it will never use your DNS Nameservers.

Installation and Upgrades / Re: Gateway

« on: May 11, 2011, 03:19:49 pm »

Yes I can get internet on the zentyal machine through eth0 (209.204.116.206) I have a switch connected to eth1 (10.30.20.2)  with a couple of desktops each having gateway as 10.30.20.2  that none can see internet. Both of these are set to be static.

Since I would like zentyal as a router / internet gateway I don't have it connected to a router but is directly connected to the modem.

This app seems to be pretty cut and dry, don't know what I could have missed.
