four easy steps to kolab on kubuntu

Hi Aaron, I read your review of kolab2. I was trying to install it on my kubuntu, but i didn't know how to install from the debian's openrpm.

Can you explain how you get this works?

Thank you very much

sure Maxx, here you go:
  1. download all the files in the server/release/kolab-server-2.0/ix86-debian3.0/ directory from one of the mirrors into a directory

  2. sudo su your way to root, cd into the directory you downloaded everything into and run ./obmtool kolab

  3. run /kolab/etc/kolab/kolab_bootstrap -b and answer the questions it asks you

  4. /etc/init.d/kolab start

  5. you're done! log into the admin area (at the end of the bootstrap it will tell you what the URL is) and have fun!


that's it. download, obmtool, kolab_boostrap, kolab start, profit!

horde and imp are less straightforward.

I get some errors starting openldap and apache.

After looking for about in google, and some test, I know those errors was about Certificate.

If I see in my kolab directory:

/kolab/etc/kolab$ ll
total 125K
drwx------ 6 root root 232 2007-06-15 10:47 ca
-rw-r----- 1 root kolab-r 0 2007-06-15 10:47 cert.pem
-rw-r----- 1 root kolab-r 887 2007-06-15 10:47 key.pem

Note "0" bytes in cert.pem, here are the problem.

Solution: Execution with admin privileges "./kolab_sslcert.sh" and:

-rw-r----- 1 root kolab-r 680 2007-06-15 10:49 cert.pem

All runs well now.
