Can you confirm that you followed the install instructions included on the CD and used the install script supplied.

Do you have anything at the bottom of the server-manager panel under unknown?

I gennerally like the idear of a custom iso. But I agree with Tony, that it shoul only include the most popular contribs. Many of the surgestions posted in this thread concerns conntribs with a reallative few users.

I surgest that either Tony on contribs.org make a poll on what contribs are used on the sme servers around the world. Maybe starting a new thread, where everybody can list the different contribs they use. After collecting a fore a while we can have the poll. and the decide what contribs are used the most.

It would be a problem having to many contribs on a custom iso because you would run into the issue of have out af date versions or having to make a new iso every day.

Personally I like the contribs section of this site. However I think that many contribs never makes it in there or are postede in versions to different server versions. Basically a remake of the contrib section and a better use of it would solve many problems. Problems that we now try to solve by making a custom iso.

This is a great idea.  And yes, too many contrib/requests will render the iso difficult to manage and maintain.  Lets have a survey of what people uses - bare minimum - and arrive at a standard basic distro - with documentation please.

Hi

I tried fixing this by downloading the spamassassin rpm but when i went to load it it says its already installed.

So why is there nothing in the server-manager window?

Any ideas?

John, I had the same problem for a while, until I visited http://sme.swerts-knudsen.dk and used his howto and download area to reinstall SpamAssassin.
Remember to post-upgrade and reboot afterwards.
Good luck !

I recently downloaded the 6.01custom.iso and checked the md5 myself, but want to verify if this is correct

I am new to all this but I would like to thank Tony (ajkeane) for the suggestion of a custom SME it sounds like a great idea as the basic SME is sadly lacking many facilities.  I have tried to download the ISO from http://ccskavenger.lc-usa.net/SME(E-SMITH)/ISOs/6.01-Custom/ but without success.  I will keep trying and keep you informed of my progress and give feedback as and when.  I have a question though not being a Linux guru, when I apply an update in the form of rpms do I have to also apply the srpms using the standard e-smith procedure.  Any comments

Hope this helps.

Oops !
I've been having newbie troubles with establishing automatic syncronisation of my download area.
Sorry for any inconvenience or broken downloads this morning (CET (GMT+1)).
Tommorrow morning, all problems should have disappeared.

Just installed this customised version.  Whoaaa...  This is the Rolls Royce of server, thanks to the combination of the new release from Contrib.org and the work done in NZ.  And some decent documentation to top it all!

Leaving aside  antivirus etc is a good idea, made it easy to install dungog antivirus + H+BEDV and a few paid packages. I would not add anything really to the core distribution, additional contrib could be added to "other rpms" with how-tos and notes.  Many thanks for sharing your work.  chris.

Hi

I just installed from the cd and followed the screens did not do anything with scripts.

I can't access the scripts on the CD either as I have never been able to get a CD-ROM to mount

Sorry to be a pain!
