Kolab Web Server Integration

Hi,

I'm trying to configure VirtualHosts in Apache to access to kolab 
services, like horde.mydomain.com, freebusy.mydomain.com, etc ...

On my server I've already an Apache2 webserver bound to the 80 and 443 
ports. I've tried to bind the Kolab's Apache on loopback:81, and use 
modproxy_http and modproxy_html to redirect/rewrite requests/responses 
from my frontend Apache2 to Kolab's Apache server ... To improve 
performances, I modified the httpd.conf.template to use non-ssl 
connection on loopback. To sum up, I've tried to do that :

Client <=> Apache2 [horde.mydomain.com:443] <=> Kolab [127.0.0.1:81/horde]

I don't manage to make this config work :-s . The primary reason is that 
the rewriting of all the URL and HTML (for example the inclusion of CSS 
and JS) is very complicated, and after few hours of config I concluded 
that it was not possible ... :-)

Finally, I'm trying to configure my Apache2 to process Kolab's 
horde/freebusy/etc... (so I could shutdown Kolab's Apache). For the 
moment I've fixed some php5 inclusions errors by editing my php.ini. 
I've no php5 warning when I access to the Horde login page, but after 
submitting my login/pass, I've this error :

*Fatal error*: Call to undefined method Auth_kolab::setAuthError() in 
*/kolab/lib/php/Horde/Auth/imap.php* on line *94

So my question is : Does anyone manage to use Kolab's services in 
Apache2 ? If someboby has a solution for modproxy, I'll be happy too :-p

Kolab 2.2rc2 Debian packages [was: Kolab Web Server Integration]

Hi all,

Finally I'm trying to install Mathieu Parent's Debian package on an 
Ubuntu Server 8.04.

I had his repostiory in my sources.list and run an "apt-get update && 
apt-get install kolabd". The install ended succesfully but I cannot run 
Kolab ... After apt-get, I stopped all services (apache, postfix,  ...), 
and I run "kolab_bootstrap -b" to configure Kolab (slapd should not be 
in the packages dependancies because I installed it manually).

During the bootstrap, I got this error :

----------------------------------------------------------------

Horde modules

Apart from the horde modules delivered on the kolab site, how can we 
update them or, at least, add other modules taken from horde website?

I tried, for example, to add dimp... I now can see it, but it is unusable...

the last mile troubleshooting ...

Hello,

I'm just finishing to configure a Kolab setup over a xenified SuSE 10.3 kernel (2.6.22.17-0.1-xen version) on a AMD Athlon64 6400+ (4Gb mem).

The installation description posted on the Opensuse Web site went very well (I added two small notices though as a workaround for a small config  glitch over missing apache/php/smarty pathnames in php.ini)

I also installed a Kontact client running on a nearby laptop for testing.

All services are up and running, initial testing has given good results on connectivity (via telnet). My ISP blocks both smtp 25 and 465, but I worked my way around that too.

Despite all goodness that happen during this installation, I'm not able to send a mail via Kontact on my laptop to an outside address (my address at Y!) th rough Kolab :-s  I'm able to get from imap internal mails sent through mailx but nothing else.

I reconfigured services in kolab to accept internet mail and gave an alternate smtp service over an obscure port, I even dropped all firewall on both portable and the server... with no results...

the "worst", even with kolab logging "verbosis" at level 4, the messages log holds only usual housekeeping suff (with a T_ Debug prefix).   Archiving are ok, etc....  same for mail.err and its related logs.

Cyrus imapd fumbled over  "dracconn:localhost RPC program not registered, but seems to move along (and logs a DRAC notifications disabled).

I need some suggestion to troubleshoot this installation and close the loop to put the server online. 

Thanks in advance,

J.Bureau

Have a look at the logs in /var/log/kolab/
Perhaps they give you the information you're looking for.

Im am currently trying to follow the same guide, but I am stuck at the php.ini 
path correction. Can you possibly share a little more info on what you have 
added to the path to make it work.

Sounds wrong. Please add a bug in the bug tracker. Thanks!

Sounds like you are using Kolab-Server-2.1. Is that correct? If that
problem is not absolutely urgent for you I'd suggest to wait for the
final 2.2 release which is due in about a month. This will come with
apache2 which might make things much easier for you.

Cheers,

Gunnar
