Topic: SME 7.1.3 and Open-Xchange install errors

[ReetP]

Have just tried to install Open-Xchange on a fresh install of SME 7.1 with updates taking it to 7.1.3

I have installed this on earlier versions but it doesn't want to play ball with this.

Got the latest packages from smeserver.free.fr

Followed
yum -y install xorg-x11-libs --enablerepo=base

then
yum localinstall *.rpm -y

which fails with :

--> Processing Dependency: openldap = 2.2.13-6.4E for package: openldap-clients
--> Processing Dependency: e-smith-lib = 1.16.0-10ox1 for package: sme7-open-xchange-conf
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Missing Dependency: openldap = 2.2.13-6.4E is needed by package openldap-clients
Error: Missing Dependency: e-smith-lib = 1.16.0-10ox1 is needed by package sme7-open-xchange-conf

Manually downloaded and updated openldap-clients-2.2.13-7.4E.i386.rpm
This solved the openldap dependency.

Could not get round the sme7-open-xchange-conf one so ran

rpm -Uvh --nodeps --force *.rpm
 
Then console-save and reboot

then oxinstall

Cannot login with session does not exist. Tried user/password combinations of password = user and then tried new passwords.

The only thing I can see in /var/log/messages is 'Could not open OX password file'

If I try deluser_OX --username=user I get 'no such user'

If I try scan_users.sh I get

Stopping ldap:                                             [  OK  ]
slapadd: could not parse entry (line=6)

I guess that the LDAP database is not being correctly created or populated.

Any ideas on whether there will be an updated sme conf file and how to get round this ? Anyone else got it working on 7.1.3 ?

P.S. Have read just about every OX post !!

Seems as though everyone is as stumped as me !

My Installation of Open-xchange work fine. I have do this:

Install a fresh SME 7.1 with updates taking it to 7.1.3

Got the latest packages from smeserver.free.fr

Now I download this rpm packages:

Code: [Select]

openldap-2.2.13-7.4E.i386.rpm
openldap-clients-2.2.13-7.4E.i386.rpm

in the directory from open-xchange files.
Now I install the problem package:

Code: [Select]

rpm -ivh --nodeps --force e-smith-lib-1.16.0-10ox1.noarch.rpm

now the rest of the packages with yum:

Code: [Select]

yum localinstall *.rpm

signal-event post-upgrade
signal-event console-save
signal-event reboot

Now you can use the command:

Code: [Select]

initall_ox
scan_users.sh

A new user can use his own password.

it is very important!!!

I think you must install OX after you install SME 7.1 and then you can make the Update to 7.1.3
But I have not make a test!

Thanks for the tip.

Unfortunately being english, my german is pretty limited ! (although it is much better than my french !) I can get the gneral idea of it but could you give a brief summary of the discussion in English for both me and others who might follow this thread ?

I would guess that the installation of

e-smith-lib-1.16.0-10ox1.noarch.rpm

overwrites

/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/esmith/console.pm

Is this correct ?

yes you understand the german message.
I think a lot of other *.pm was copy and overwrite new files!
