Installation and Upgrades / Re: Migrate installation to new server and reinstallation of boot loader
« on: March 06, 2013, 12:49:36 pm »
If you have in fstab UUID you will have to get the new UUID of the HDD or use the old /dev/sdx 
Groub can be re-installed via the live-cd resque option or via the command line with grub2-setup (if i'm not mistaking).

Why ont you just clone the disk ? Or make and image of the old disk and deply it on the new disk.
Even if the size of the destination disk is different there are tools that can accomodate the change.
See clonezilla and you can try to do the operaion either with clone or with image and restore. (I suggest to make a image since you will also have a backup of your current system)

Hi, Wilhelmdup
By default on the web interface only the user created at the time of install can login.
No other user can login.

Installation and Upgrades / Re: Cannot create shares using "File system path"
« on: March 06, 2013, 08:51:55 am »
have you check the permisions of the folder that you want to export ? and also the location ?
I think you have to apply some settings to allow samba to register the folder to shares. Otherwise it is impossible to share the folder.
Also if the folder is a system folder like /usr/lib or /var... it is not possible to export it.

Hi, Joeg1484
Did you let zential update the core, samba, dns and users modules ?
And when creating the users and groups i think the priority is to create the groups, configure the user template and then create the users..
Please let us know if you manage to solve it via the update (it worked for me) and the mentioned model above.

Installation and Upgrades / Re: Lost File sharing on reboot - error indicating bug when try to enable module
« on: March 02, 2013, 04:57:00 pm »
Hi Jdardozzi.
Try a fresh install with the latest updates. Make sure that you have the core 3.0.14 and Samba 3.0.14 and DNS 3.0.6.
After you get the updates try to configure the modules. I think this will solve your problems 90%.
If you do not go for a fresh install at least make sure the system is updated and zentyal components have the above mentioned versions.
Best regards

Installation and Upgrades / [Fixing] dissapointed by 3.0
« on: March 02, 2013, 11:08:36 am »
I have worked on zential last night and fixed the pxe mounting of nfs exports. Here is what i did and maybe can help someone.
Update nfs-kernel-server and re-install nfs-common, also install nfswatch for debug
create some services in network section of Zential admin then follow this steps to add ports to that service. I have name it nfs_access.
we make sure that you are using nfs-kernel-server on specific asigned ports then add them to the firewall Like this.
edit /etc/default/nfs-common:
NEED_STATD=yes
STATDOPTS="--port 4000 --outgoing-port 4001"
Make changes to the firewall with this ports in the section regarding internal networks access to zentyal.
Then modify: /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server
RPCMOUNTDOPTS=" --port 32263 "
Also add this port to your service and then also add the port 111 used by sun rpc
Note. Make sure when exporting your folders with nfs to add the option "insecure" to the mount.
edit /etc/exports like this:
/folder/folder_to_read 172.29.10.0/24 (ro,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,async,insecure)
/folder/folder_to_write 172.29.10.0/24 (rw,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,async,insecure).
Also The last night update to Zentyal core, samba and other modules have fixed the problems mentioned before!
and now the share are CIFS are reachable and also with very good speed over network.

Hi J.A.
All the setups have been done from the Zentyal installer. I'm doing this since i started to use eBox since i've seen once that an install on top of another system is prone to errors. So the short answer is that i used the installers (32/64).
Regarding the opening of tickets, I tend not to open since i know that most of the times there are already opened issues. I try to find the solutions myself and then seek help.
Since i'm aware that this is community driven support i look for answers in the forum or wiki.
Again this is not intended to blame someone but maybe this grouped problems will help someone to figure them out.
Tonight i'll do an install from scratch with Zentyal 3.0 and log everything in the process. Than if you want i'll send the results.
Thank you again and best regards
Bogdan

« on: March 01, 2013, 12:29:20 pm »
After so much troubles with version 3.0 i reached the sad decision that this version of Zentyal is not good for me... Even if I'm not an easy quitter, it's almost impossible to make it work the way i want (also advertised).
After several fresh installs and two hardware servers changed there are issues that are stopping this to function properly. I want to share with you my personal opinion and this is not addresed to someone in particular. I do appreciate the hard work of the Zentyal team and respect their work. But maybe this 3.0 release is to "young" ad not ready to be released as stable.
First let me describe the enviroment in witch i used Zentyal:
Server desired pourposes: Home server with mail, webserver, DNS, Samba, Qos, Multiple gateways balance, and PXE with tools.
The first problem occured when i set the "domain hostname" (the label is not to clear, either ask for the SMB domain or hostname). You have to be very careful what you set up here or it can't be changed
Later on after the zentyal installed the modules, seting up the DNS did not create the zone "db.domain.com" ! (i discovered this after some errors on the dashboard).
For Mydomain.com i configured the machine_hostname and added the public IP i got from one of the providers. Also added this to the domain.
The problem is that when asked the Zentyal DNS is reporting the public IP but also the LAN ip (without this added to the hostname SAMBA is malfunctioning!!) and for the life in me i can't make dns not to report this (even after tweaking the bind files)...
Not even several changes to DNS did not create the db.mydomain.com file... (later problems occured from this)
Roundcube it seems to be unable to install properly unless you disable the module, change the mysql setting to use innodb. and then re-install the module... Failing to do so will get you with an error Database error on webmail page.
Binding Webmail to a virtual host seems useless! when i use webmail.mydomain.com i got nothing but the empty host folder....
No problem, I made a symlink from the /roundcube folder to webmail.mydomain.com... (maybe my understanding of virtual host and that of the option to bind the webmail to it is wrong...)
Another problem the Hardware raid is not recognised monitored correctly... System reports no HW raid installed (no problem as long as it works and i know that newer cards are reported as /dev/sdx instead of old cciss...)
In File sharing i checked the Antivirus on shares but this turned out to be a mistake since a the "scanned:bla_bla_file..." appeared in each folder and not deleted.. Why ?
Creating shares is problematic also... Even if i specify the path to the folder and not from smb. The share is created in /home/samba/shares ....
Then the problem of opening files from the server (not copy) but open MKV and executables larger than 2.3 Gb, Small files up to 2.2 G have been opened but larger ones not.
Even if the source filesystem for samba share was FAT32(usbstick) NTFS internal and usb hdd or EXT4 on raid. (on FAT32 i have my reasons to agree with not opening 4.7 image since those are Fat limitations).
After updating the Filesharing module the module apeared to stop working. It was activated in the Module status but did not work.
On other ocasion i removed the filesharing module and add it again but did not want to start...
And keep geting the errors of nsupdate not able to configure the zone.....
I 've seen the ticket on the track but no resolution was there.... even if this is a problem (not normal but high) that more users are facing
Serving PXE custom menu is not an easy task.
First you have to enable thincients, made the appropiate setting in the modules. build the image and then you have PXE. Then you have to see if you can add NFS support... because if you need to export some files you need to add nfs-kernel-server and other modules, configure exports and then try to boot but you also need to modify the firewall rules... see what to unblock and so on.
But it is a 50% success story. Currently my server is no longer able to provide nfs mounting from pxe.... (this i have to fix again) Maybe a preconfigured service in the zentyal list wold make life more easy....
So this are the problems encountered for now but i want to mention that this is on several fresh installs of either 32 and 64 bit and two different hardware setups.
The problem is that the little feedback that came from the forum was not enough to resolve the problems... I want to thank you all the members of this forum and this great community support. Since without your help this was bound to be more frustrating than it was.
After so many trials and failures i give up.... this post is not to blame someone but to share a state of facts that happened...
Thank you and best regards

Same here.
After an reboot I see that the file sharing is not working. When i tryied to start the module i get the following error:

I created the db file but to no avail. not even with all the permisions enabled.
This turns out to be the worst event for me... I think that i'll review other options regarding the 3.0 Zentyal release...

Hi UdoB,
This is really driving me crazy...
I think that i'll re-install zentyal and manually specify the mount options for the /storage.
I do open avi and mkv files on linux by double click. I did enable the anti-virus from zentyal (i did not check yet if this can be the issue)
The AV from windows is not responsible for this since i can open files from other shares on the network....
I'll test this after i get home and see. otherwise....
This will turn out to bee a very long week end since i plan to re-install everything except the windows machine (my wife's pc )
I'll try to install the 64 bit edition of zentyal and i'll let you know.
Best regards
Bogdan

Hi UdoB,
Thank you for replicating my scenario.
Some of the settings may differ from your setup than mine
1. The files are avi, mkv or mpg.
2 the ACL list on the shares is set with Administrator level and Read Write. (no guest access enabled)
Try to open the files (not copy) from samba shares from within Linux (Mint 14 64bit) and Win 7 64 bit and see if you can playback the file.
See if you can open mkv files of 4.7Gb or 8Gb...
I don't know if it is relevant but the Zentyal source was the 3.02 32 bit installer
Kernel: Linux micro 3.2.0-38-generic-pae #60-Ubuntu SMP
Wed Feb 13 13:47:26 UTC 2013 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
The files were put to the server from the linux machine... so maybe it has something to do with permission to execute the file since the transfer succeded...
Regards
Bogdan

Installation and Upgrades / Samba large file problems
« on: February 21, 2013, 08:51:35 pm »
I'm having problems accessing files larger than 2Gb.
When accessing the file from network the files are listed but when I try to open i get the error "File does not exists" or in linux "Can't open smb://....".
The storage FS is EXT4 (so no limit regarding 2 or 4 Gb files)
The files are there and are ok. I've open them locally on the server's file manager. So the problem must be in SAMBA....
The Server 3.0.12
Samba module: 3.0.13
DNS:3.0.5
I don't know what can be causing this but it seems like a real problem.
Please let me know if there is something to do since i've spent two days researching for a solution but found none.
Best regards
Bogdan

« on: February 20, 2013, 11:26:28 am »
Hi Karl.
By suggesting to not update the system, I was reffering to that intermediate step just after the installer finishes and you have the desktop but not the zentyal packages installed.
The update (as you have done) must be done after you finish installation from the webpage.
Via the software module.
Best regards
Bogdan

Installation and Upgrades / Re: Ubuntu client slow accessing Zentyal server
« on: February 19, 2013, 12:31:49 am »
Hi Christian, UdoB
I've done the check's and tests.
Here is the HW details of the network and it seems that the network drivers are ok.
The first two intel interfaces are internet connections and the last (Broadcom) is LAN.
I've done transfers from internet and i run trough full wire speed 100mbps on each device.
And run some transfers from desktop to server the peak was 234Mbps with an average of 140 Mbps. on samba shares
also i've run a test with filezilla from desktop to server via ssh and reached a maximum of 180Mbps.
The target folder on the server is on the raid 5 matrix. The filesystem is ext4 jurnalised not NTFS.
My questions:
1 can the speedbump be caused by the raid controller and HDD matrix ?
2 the EXT4 Jurnalised is slower than NTFS??? (i know that with journal enabled is slower but... even so..)
I assumed that the sluggish transfer was due to the fact that it was ext4 - > CIFS -> Network but via SSH on the same network...
And you have mentioned that SAMBA can be optimized via tweaking. Can you please elaborate on this? I'm afraid that doing some tweaking on my own will break something and with data on the /storage I'm reluctant to do so
The only thing i wanted to tweak were the buffers on the network cards but it seems that there are different opinions on this issue.
If you can shed some light it will be very appreciated since it seems there are some more users with this problem and i think Pinus will agree.
Thank you and best regards
Bogdan

resources: irq:68 memory:fe9f0000-fe9fffffThe first two intel interfaces are internet connections and the last (Broadcom) is LAN.
I've done transfers from internet and i run trough full wire speed 100mbps on each device.
And run some transfers from desktop to server the peak was 234Mbps with an average of 140 Mbps. on samba shares
also i've run a test with filezilla from desktop to server via ssh and reached a maximum of 180Mbps.
The target folder on the server is on the raid 5 matrix. The filesystem is ext4 jurnalised not NTFS.
My questions:
1 can the speedbump be caused by the raid controller and HDD matrix ?
2 the EXT4 Jurnalised is slower than NTFS??? (i know that with journal enabled is slower but... even so..)
I assumed that the sluggish transfer was due to the fact that it was ext4 - > CIFS -> Network but via SSH on the same network...
And you have mentioned that SAMBA can be optimized via tweaking. Can you please elaborate on this? I'm afraid that doing some tweaking on my own will break something and with data on the /storage I'm reluctant to do so
The only thing i wanted to tweak were the buffers on the network cards but it seems that there are different opinions on this issue.
If you can shed some light it will be very appreciated since it seems there are some more users with this problem and i think Pinus will agree
.Thank you and best regards
