Topic: OX / Error: Session doesn´t exist / update SME7.1 -> 7.1.

[otternase]

Hi,

I have a problem after updating SME from 7.1 to 7.1.1. this morning.

There ws a dependency problem with e-smith-lib 1.18 an ox . This has been the case in the past also while trying to update that libm, and therefore I installed it using

Code: [Select]


rpm -Uvh --nodeps e-smith-lib-1.18.0-2.el4.sme.noarch.rpm


Now I´am in trouble. When logging into OX ist says:

ERROR: Session doesn´t exist

While starting openldap

Code: [Select]


/etc/init.d/ldap restart


in /var/log/messages I see:

Code: [Select]

Any hints?

Thank you for the great job in developing SME and for the help given in this forum.

Could you be a little more specific?

- What exactly did you upgrade? Only the e-smith-lib or did you perform a full upgrade from 7.1 to 7.1.1?
- Did you read http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=35135.0?
- Did you follow the HOW-TO install ox http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=34388.0?
- Do you have a backup http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=35323.0?

If you performed from 7.1. a yum upgrade while working with ox, this should have caused in unsolved dependencies. If you proceeded as I described in the workaround, you should be able to run ox without any problems.

In any other case, you need to restore ox from a backup. If you don't have a backup, try to create one before you do any other changes. See the links above. Then try to build a clean and stable installation of 7.1.1. Follow the workaround. Restore the backup. Try to login ox.

I followed the how-to on Vincents Website to install ox. It worked great until this morning

I have no backup. OX is not full used yet. I made a full upgrade, the first step was the mentioned "rpm -Uvh --nodeps" of the e-smith-lib . btw: I use the palm-sync extension from open-xchange. It also worked until this morning.

Tried your workaround, but it did not work for me. I think I need to make a full new install of OX?

I also read the thread:

http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=29824.0

and did

Code: [Select]


/sbin/e-smith/config setprop ldap status disabled
svc -d /service/ldap


I think that was a mistake... how can I reverse this (do I need to)?

OX is still not running (same error). There are no errors in the log files (as far as I can see). What do you need to help?

Hi,

I still have a serious problem with OX. It says "Error: seesion doesn´t exist" after trying to login.

I followed the mentioned how-to. Kicked postgresql and ldap, reinstalled all the open-xchange rpms, initall_ox ...

There is an error during initall_ox, maybe this can help somebody to give me a hint? During the run of initall_ox, after the last add user I see:

Code: [Select]



Create User : rolf password: rolf
LDAP Success
SQL Success
LDAP Success!
ldap_bind: Can't contact LDAP server (-1)
Added Group users to LDAP
Added Group paul to LDAP



/var/log/messages says every 1 min. and 15 sec. :

Code: [Select]


Mar  6 10:46:49 darwin2006 slapd[19481]: fd=7 DENIED from unknown (127.0.0.1)


While loggimng in the groupware.log says:

Code: [Select]

Does anyone have an idea? Any help would be highly appreciated. We use OX sind 2003, I configured it on an old SUSE 9.1 from scratch and know it a little bit. Buit I don´t know the SME Server very good. Therefore I don´t know where to begin the error-search.

Pls. remember: OX ran without problems until yesterday morning, when I performed the upgrade from 71. to 7.1.1. Shouldn´t have done that .

Rolf, I didn't execute this command -

Code:
/sbin/e-smith/config setprop ldap status disabled
svc -d /service/ldap

was not necessary for me.

Was it possible to perform a backup of your existing ox? Before you change more things, try to use the modified backup_ox script from the HOW-TO.

Did you *COMPLETE* uninstall the previous ox-installation? Did you also try to get a clean server-status, before you changed the ldap status? Did you also use the modified scripts from the HOW-TO before you re-installed ox?

Question: what is the result of
- ps -A | grep slapd
- ps -A | grep java

What rpm's of Vincent do you use? Be careful with the latest version:

- sme7-open-xchange-0.8.2.1-72.noarch.rpm
- sme7-open-xchange-conf-0.8.2-27.noarch.rpm

- snip -
--> Processing Dependency: sme7-jotm for package: sme7-open-xchange
--> Processing Dependency: sme7-common-transaction for package: sme7-open-xchange
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Missing Dependency: sme7-jotm is needed by package sme7-open-xchange
Error: Missing Dependency: sme7-common-transaction is needed by package sme7-open-xchange
- snip -

You should be able to install with a yum local install:

- openldap-clients-2.2.13-6.4E.i386.rpm
- sme7-postgresql-7.4.8-7.noarch.rpm
- sme-j2sdk-1.6.0-9.i386.rpm

Don't forget the

- signal-event post-upgrade
- signal-event reboot

Stefan, ist works !

Question: what is the result of
- ps -A | grep slapd
- ps -A | grep java

... said that java runs, but no slapd.

I removed all the ox-rpms and openldap-clients. Then I kicked postgresql and ldap, did

Code: [Select]


/sbin/e-smith/config setprop ldap status disabled
svc -d /service/ldap


I expanded all the ldap templates manually:

Code: [Select]


expand-template /etc/openldap/slapd.conf
expand-template /etc/openldap/ldap.conf


and then:

Code: [Select]


/sbin/e-smith/config setprop ldap status enabled
svc -u /service/ldap



signal-event post-upgrade
signal-event-post-reboot

checking for slapd after reboot shows that it was working. I reinstalled ox and run initall_ox . It worked without errors. After that OX started up without problems. The OX-Palm-Sync also works...

Phhh! Had been a few ours work. And, to be honest, I really don´t know exactly why it is working now. The LDAP seems to be broken seriously and needed a complete reconfiguration.

I will be more careful with updates of the sme-server in the future.

Thank you very much for your help. Your HOW-TO and your help in this thread has been very useful for me in solving this problem.

- sme7-open-xchange-0.8.2.1-72.noarch.rpm
- sme7-open-xchange-conf-0.8.2-27.noarch.rpm

I use the latest version and ignored the dependency issues. It works.

- openldap-clients-2.2.13-6.4E.i386.rpm

yes.

- sme7-postgresql-7.4.8-7.noarch.rpm
- sme-j2sdk-1.6.0-9.i386.rpm

I use the latest versions of that (installed via the sme update system).

Thank you very much again. Sometimes I think: "Why don´t we use commercial software, pay lots of money and when we have trouble, we just call Mr. Heroeadmin and he fixes it!" But, to be honest, thats boring

Did you install the two rpm's with yum or rpm? And are you able to work with the ox-panel in the server-manager? Means, can you add aliases for ox-users?

Would be nice to have a feed-back.

1) Did you install the two rpm's with yum or rpm?

2) And are you able to work with the ox-panel in the server-manager?

3)Means, can you add aliases for ox-users?

top 1)

I installed them

Code: [Select]



rpm -i --nodeps sme7-open-xchange ....  . rpm




top2)

Yes, that works.


top 3)

Yes, that works also. I added an alias called "test_alias" , it has been created and deleted correctly.


Hope this helps.

Hi Rolf,

thank you for your reply! Before installing

- sme7-open-xchange-0.8.2.1-72.noarch.rpm
- sme7-open-xchange-conf-0.8.2-27.noarch.rpm

I made a backup of my existing installation with backup_ox. (For the modified scripts, see my HOW-TO)

Then I run rpm -Uvh --nodeps sme7-open-xchange*. rpm

After the installation I changed the language of postgres. Then I did a restore_ox (For the modified scripts, see my HOW-TO). Two more things to do:

- service postgresql restart
- service open-xchange restart

Login ox. Everything is fine. Login the server-manager. Everything is fine.

Last step: Change Vincents scripts in /usr/local/open-xchange/sbin and in /usr/local/open-xchange/share with the modified scripts of the HOW-TO.

You helped - thank you Rolf!
