HOWTO: Open-Xchange on Gentoo

OK, never mind my whining about LDAP, turns out I put a "-" instead of a "=" in the ./configure portion of installing OX.

I seem to be stuck trying to get Sunbird working with OX. To get Sunbird to work with OX, I goto Tools/Subscribe to Remote Calendar. First I give Calendar session a name -- Test; then I enter the location as in https://mydomain.com or https://mydomain.com/servlet/webdav.ical. In either case nothing happens. In Sunbird on the left hand side below the menubar, you'll find 2 tabs, one is "Calendar" and the other is "Calendars". When I switch to the "Calendars" tab, I see My Calendar with a checkmark and the new one I created ("Test") with a little red arrow turning around and around. I guess that means it's trying to download something but in my case it's not succeeding. Anyway, if I right click on the Test calendar that I created and then select Edit Calendar, I see that it wants to create a Calendar Data File, as in:

Hey guys,

I got all working thanks to bitwh0re howto :wink:

But now I wonder how are you guys managing the users?
What tools besides the ones from OX are you using to create or modifing users?

I took a look at http://www.web-cyradm.org for the IMAP part but i still can't make it work.

any thoughts?

regards,

Setting up users is quite easy after you did everything correctly following the howto but there are a few steps you'll have to follow :

1) add the user in OX : /usr/local/open-xchange/sbin/adduser_ox (use --help to see the parameters needed)

2) create the mailbox like this : cyrusadm (enter the password as described in the HOWTO) then type cm.<user> where <user> is the username you used with adduser_ox

3) add you created user to a group (the default group is "users" but you can create as many groups as you like)

/usr/local/open-xchange/sbin/addusertogroup_ox --user=john --group=users

You MUST add the user to a group if you want everything to work correctly under Open Xchange, this is a part which is not mentionned in the HOWTO but this is necessary.
When you create a user using adduser_ox, the user is NOT affected to any group (at least, not with 0.8.0.0) so you have to do it manually.

That's all, have fun.

Anyone know if Open-Xchange works with mysql yet? I see it in the ebuild now.

So I followed the OX on Gentoo guide at http://www.mikefetherston.ca/OX/html/index.html but haven't done any of the extensions yet. Everything appears to be working until I try to log in. Logging in appears to work fine, but when I get redirected I get a blank browser window. There's nothing in view source. When I try to hit any of the OX servlets, I get the blank page, but I can hit the manager through Apache or Tomcat directly, it comes up normally. I've considered a configuration error, but triple-checking seems to indicate that everything is, in fact, correct. Anyone have any ideas?

Check your OX logs, here is a good place to start debuging:

Well I got it working (it wasn't finding the Postgresql JAR), but now when I try to go to any of the appointments, tasks, calendars, etc. tabs I get a Permission denied notice that reads " You don't have the permission to access this page." Webmail doesn't work, but I knew it wouldn't -- anyone know how to tell Open-Xchange to use an IMAP server on a different host?

Hi
I tried to follow up instructions posted in past by ulwur :
****************
In phpldapadmin I added alias attributes on the users
I added this to my postfix's main.cf
virtual_maps = ldap:ldapsource
ldapsource_query_filter = (|(mail=%s)(alias=%s))
********************
Since that time I am able to see in the list and change email address from which are the e-mails going from.
But still, I am able to receive mails just to e-mail address "ldap_UID"@mydomain.com. When I send email to alias email I can see in postfix log:

postfix/lmtp[8621]: 8C92818630C: to=<my_alias@mydomain.com>, relay=/var/imap/socket/lmtp[/var/imap/socket/lmtp], delay=0, status=bounced (host /var/imap/socket/lmtp[/var/imap/socket/lmtp] said: 550-Mailbox unknown. Either there is no mailbox associated with this 550-name or you do not have authorization to see it. 550 5.1.1 User unknown (in reply to RCPT TO command))

Can you please help?
Thanks,
Ondrej.

I hope I'm not being repetitive here, but what all do I have to do to change the Postgres port used throughout?
I can't use 5432 anymore...

Thanks,

hey guys,
i did the following to assign incoming email aliases to mailboxes not in ldap, see /etc/postfix/main.cf:

alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases,ldap:ldapsource

after inserting this you can insert lines there like:
incoming_alias receiver_mailbox_name

when you use a default setup of OX don't add the domain in that lines anywhere. after saving the file don't forget to convert it to a postfix db file using postmap command.

how can I train spamassassin in a fully working Open-Xchange environment? How can I pass to spamassassin an IMAP directory to scan? I've some problems because most spam get a low score and it isn't blocked by spamassassin.

The next thing is... there are some problems when you upgrade sun-jdk, we should use:

After reading through this thread and the howto, I have gotten everything installed and appears to be running. When I get to the login screen and enter the usename and password that I created, I get the following:

Can not build up socket!
SessionD running?

Of course I have checked for errors in my log files, and have found none, and all sessiond/groupware/webmail scripts have/are running successfully. Any advice or help would be appreciated.

My biggest problem getting it to start the first time was that I had not done the following:

/usr/local/open-xchange/etc/init.d/groupware
sudo -u $USER $OX_BIN >> $LOGFILE 2>&1 &
#su $USER -s /bin/bash $OX_BIN >> $LOGFILE 2>&1 &

/usr/local/open-xchange/etc/init.d/sessiond
sudo -u $USER $OX_SESSIOND_BIN >> $LOGFILE 2>&1 &
#su $USER -s /bin/bash $OX_SESSIOND_BIN >> $LOGFILE 2>&1 &

/usr/local/open-xchange/etc/init.d/webmail
sudo -u $USER $OX_BIN >> $LOGFILE 2>&1 &
#su $USER -s /bin/bash $OX_BIN >> $LOGFILE 2>&1 &

have you double checked those?

I have the same sudo lines in each init script, and each appears to be starting correctly. As part of my troubleshooting I launched each from separate terminals so I could see what was going on. Throughout this issue, each runs, but nothing happeds when I attempt to login.

I am wondering if this may be caused by a problem with saslauthd or slapd. When I try to issue

ldapsearch -D "cn=Manager,dc=airxcel,dc=com" -W

After I enter my password, I get the following response from stdout

ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: No such object (32)

And this shows up in my /var/log/messages

Jul 20 08:50:54 ox slapd[7851]: conn=31 fd=12 ACCEPT from IP=123.2.1.253:35041 (IP=0.0.0.0:389)
Jul 20 08:50:54 ox slapd[7930]: conn=31 op=0 SRCH base="" scope=0 filter="(objectClass=*)"
Jul 20 08:50:54 ox slapd[7930]: conn=31 op=0 SRCH attr=supportedSASLMechanisms
Jul 20 08:50:54 ox slapd[7930]: conn=31 op=0 RESULT tag=101 err=0 text=
Jul 20 08:50:54 ox slapd[7851]: conn=31 fd=12 closed

Maybe I am misunderstanding how this is supposed to work, but I am also unable to connect to my ldap server with phpldapadmin.

nothing in the tomcat logs either (/var/log/tomcat5) ?

Nothing unusual, and no errors are in tomcats logs. I can login to the management interface and see all the umin and webdav items started.
