Installation Problems (V3.2)

[Heiko Kernbach]

Hello,

problem solved. Thanks to the supporters of the mirc channel ;)

Solution: It was a client-language-problem. The LANG variable of my shell was not set (Mac OS X  10.9.4), so python used the wrong language settings.  In order to fix this problem, you have to edit your ~/.profile or ~/.bash_profile file and set the LANG variable. 

export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

(or your favorite lang, e.g. de_DE etc.)

After changing those file, restart your terminal and start the setup again. Now the setup should work without problems.

I followed all given steps using the instructions on the official site, also tried some user tutorials (http://docs.kolab.org/installation-guide/centos.html). Then tried to run setup-kolab. On every distribution i got some python errors. Anyone who has same problems? Is there any distribution or kolab version which runs just fine after installation?
