Kolab Webadmin not working (anymore)

[Skale, Franz]

Hi Torben,
The console log should exist.
Perhaps the webserver user cannot create a file ?
Anyhow, check the cache dir for files and also check that the symlinks 
exist:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   25 Nov 18  2016 /usr/share/kolab-webadmin/cache 
-> /var/cache/kolab-webadmin
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec  1 09:55 
/usr/share/kolab-webadmin/hosted
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Feb 18 17:26 /usr/share/kolab-webadmin/lib
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   23 Nov 18  2016 /usr/share/kolab-webadmin/logs 
-> /var/log/kolab-webadmin
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Dec  1 09:55 
/usr/share/kolab-webadmin/public_html
Try to remove the cached PHP files and take a look.
As a last resort start apache2 with the -X flag in foreground to debug.


Best regards
Franz
