Hi list,
I'm glad having found a solution to get kolab working
for Redhat-based systems. It took me nearly three months to
get a running system (Fedora Core1, RHEL3.0 tested so far
with ZFOS-pkgs) beside Debian or Mandrake 10.
I just wonder how ZFOS or Kolab related developers get
things to work for supported platforms without having
a solution for this problem being posted here several
times...
The solution is rather odd, there is no dirty hack
concerning sasl/cyrus/ldap, obviously it's 'only'
/etc/hosts driving mad some scripts (me too).
On a fresh installed RH box /etc/hosts looks like:
[root at sun root]# cat /etc/hosts
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.0.4 sun.matrix.com sun
[root at sun root]# /kolab/etc/rc all start
...
gives us in /var/log/messages:
Jun 25 21:12:17 sun kolabd[9877]: Kolab is starting up
Jun 25 21:12:17 sun perl: No worthy mechs found
Jun 25 21:12:20 sun kolabd[9877]: Y Error: Unable to authenticate with Cyrus admin interface, Error = `'
Modify to:
[root at sun root]# cat /etc/hosts
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.0.4 sun.matrix.com sun
[root at sun root]# /kolab/etc/rc all start
...
and we get:
Jun 25 21:14:56 sun kolabd[8024]: Kolab is starting up
Jun 25 21:14:56 sun perl: No worthy mechs found
After adding users via webinterface - checking mailboxes:
[root at sun ix86-fedora1]# /kolab/bin/cyradm -u manager localhost
IMAP Password:
localhost> lm
user/morpheus at matrix.com (\HasNoChildren)
user/neo at matrix.com (\HasNoChildren)
user/trinity at matrix.com (\HasNoChildren)
Hopefully changing /etc/hosts does not affect other applications
running on your system. I need some beer now...
