Topic: Openxchange on 7b5 -> 7b7

[tariqf]

Hi I'm using sme 7b6 with sme7 openxchange rpms from http://smeserver.free.fr/ox/ox7/ on a new Dell SC430 and 20 XP workstations with oxlook connector. Everything is working ok but very slow netowrk speed for samba/imap and general openxchange functionality. Tried to update to the new sme 7b7 release using "yum upgrade" but I get the following error:-

--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Missing Dependency: openldap-servers = 2.2.13-2aci is needed by package sme7-openexchange
Error: Missing Dependency: openldap = 2.2.13-2aci is needed by package openldap-clients

I don't understand this as I aready have these three dependencies installed (same version no's etc.) I can't post this on the sme7 bug list cos it's actually cos of my openxchange that's causing the problem.

Has anyone got an idea what I can do to get the smooth upgrade?  Also I'd be very intetested in anyone else's experiences with openxchange on sme7.

I tested the open-xchange on version 6 several weeks ago and found that it ate the server perfomance and it was not doing nothing else.  In this forun there is a post that shows the server utilization with and without open-xchange.

I am trialling Open Xchange in a work environment and have found no performance issues ... my server idles at around 2.5% with Open xchange on it ... the production SME server runs the same stats.

Both servers are on SME 6.0.1-01

Maybe the newer ver is better with the resources.

While I'm at it ... does anyone know how to edit some areas of Open xchange ... like when you create a Project and want to put a $ value in ... you don't have AU as a choice ... is there a way to put this in. And change the date format to DD/MM/YY instead of MM/DD/YY.

I haven't tried Open xchange on SME 7 beta.

Regards,

Tib.

Tariq,

  I had the same problem, but I did a manual install and solved the problem with rpm -Uhv --force *.rpm

  The problem is your rpms are all looking for another RPM with an aci at the end.

Error: Missing Dependency: openldap-servers = 2.2.13-2aci is needed by package sme7-openexchange
Error: Missing Dependency: openldap = 2.2.13-2aci is needed by package openldap-clients

This means that yum has found an update that will replace openldap-servers and openldap.  You can't use the openldap rpms from Centos as they aren't built for openexchange.  To temporarily fix the problem do:

Code: [Select]

yum --exclude=openldap* upgrade
To permanantly fix the problem, you want to add exclude=openldap* entries to your /etc/yum.conf file for the centos os/updates repositories.  To do that do this:

Code: [Select]

/sbin/e-smith/db yum_repositories setprop base Exclude openldap*
/sbin/e-smith/db yum_repositories setprop updates Exclude openldap*
/sbin/e-smith/db yum_repositories setprop smeos Exclude openldap*(to update the database settings)

then:

Code: [Select]

expand-template /etc/yum.conf(to implement the settings)

...and then 'yum upgrade' will work.

***You should pass this along to the developer of the openexchange addon, as this should be done as part of the install.***

Note - edited to add Exclude for smeos repo as well.

I'm trying to yum upgrade with the --exclude Greg proposed but I'm getting errors:

--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Missing Dependency: SMEServer >= 7.0 is needed by package sme7-postgresql
Error: Missing Dependency: SMEServer >= 7.0 is needed by package sme7-openexchange
Error: Missing Dependency: SMEServer >= 7.0 is needed by package apache-mod_jk
Error: Missing Dependency: SMEServer >= 6.0 is needed by package sme-j2sdk

How can this be resolved?!

jester.

SMEServer was recently obsoleted by smeserver-support (as of Beta5).

The contrib is looking for the rpm SMEServer, but isn't finding it.  It should really be looking elsewhere now to check what version of SME is installed.

'yum install SMEServer' will fix it for the time being.  But please report it to the author of the contrib that the rpm SMEServer is not included in the current Beta.

I'm creating a bug report as well, I think that you've found an issue that can be improved.

Hi Greg,

I reported the problem to the author. Your suggestion 'yum install SMEServer' ends with a 'Nothing to do'.

Thanks for all your comments but I'm having the same problem as Jester's last post. I'm pretty keen to upgrade now as my whole openxchange server has stopped working for no apparent reason last night!

Hi
I have found if I can not ologin to OX then go to /usr/local/open-exchange/sbin and use the modify-password --username=name --passwd=new passwd
Then you will be able to login.
Cheers
