Zarafa

[bboose]

I just installed Zarafa (http://www.zarafa.com) on my HDA running fedora 14. It is basically a linux exchange server. My problem is that I am supposed to be able to access its web interface through http://localhost/webaccess. When I do this, I get redirected to my HDA log in page. Any ideas. I have been through error log after error log and apache config file after apache config file. I think it may have to do with virtual hosts? Any help would be appreciated.

I have messed with this one a bit and had it accessible, but I did not have an exchange server. What you need to do is create a web app as outlined in this tutirial:

http://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Webapps

It is best to put all the app files in the /var/hda/web-apps/appname/html dir as that is where the web app link will point. You can add an option to the .conf file for it as follows if needed:

RedirectPermanent / http://localhost/webapp

I believe I actually had it working with http://zarafa when I tried a while back. Hope this helps.

Okay so I now have it working so when I navigate to zarafa.localhost.com on the HDA itself. But when I try to get to it from a local machine, which loads hda.localhost.com fine, it says it cannot find the server. Any ideas?

*Just figured out it is working on all of the wireless clients, but not the one connected via ethernet. Any ideas why this would affect it?

Could you please detail the process as to how you were able to get Zarafa working as a web-app? I keep getting taken to the Amahi Dashboard also and have so far been unsuccessful at getting it to run as a web app. ANY help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Any app running on port 80 often has problems in Amahi. Basically you have to create the web app as previous posts indicate, then point to that location.

I have not messed with this one in quite some time, so it might be a bit complicated to get it working. If I have time in the near future, I will try to create an Amahi app. If I can get it working, then I can give you access to test.

That would be great if you get the time! Until then I will continue hammering away at this thing to see if I can even get it running. I used these directions to install it directly into Fedora 14 and that's where I got the conflict with the url "localhost/webaccess" taking me to the Amahi Dashboard:

yum install zarafa zarafa-webaccess
Configure MySQL in /etc/zarafa/server.cfg
service zarafa-server start
service zarafa-gateway start
service zarafa-spooler start
zarafa-admin -s
zarafa-admin -c tux -e tux@localhost -f "Zarafa Tester" -p MyPassword
service httpd restart
Go to http://localhost/webaccess and login with "tux" and "MyPassword"

I have tried replicating the above installation instructions into a web-app I created using Amahi, but so far only get directories with files in them when attempting to access the web-app's url.

Thanks for your time.

Yea that's the problem, typical install instructions will not work with Amahi unless it runs on a port other than 80. I don't recall using the RPMs, but I might be mistaken.

If it is possible to change the port it runs on, you can make a small change to a .conf file in Amahi and it will work. Might be worth checking the internet to see if there is a way to make it accessible via port 81 or maybe even 443.

It will be a while before I get a change to try it, but I will let you know when I do get something.
