Patrick, the wa2.2 works on cos without issues just download rhel7 packages. Regarding clearos 6 there is a way of doing it using rhel7 Oct or something like that it let's you have a send boxed version of pop 5.6 on your server look it up on zarafa forums on the released version of webapp 2.2

Updated my webapp b2 to final, but unfortunately webapp did not work any more.
Restored to the b2 version and it is working again.

probably the php-mapi, which is needed with the final version is not working with COS.

You using clearos 6 or 7? If it's missing packages ask in zarafa forum they should sort it out .

Hi Ben,

It was my question on the post of James. Since he installed the RC1 which not worked on my ClearOS system because of the mapi rpm which is only needed on RHEL7 versions.
The Webapp upgrade is coming from Zarafa, but is not completly isolated from the ClearOS system to my opion.
Especiallly due the MAPI rpm, which maybe can break the ClearOS system.

I agree with James about he plugins. This is definetly a ClearOS issue.
You can not normaly remove the plugins. It's all or nothing.

@ben this is a problem with clearos as I stated in my op when you install zarafa on clearos 7 it comes pre installed with every single plugin from wa 2.1 . I personally think that should not be the case but if you try and remove any of the plugins via yum it wants to remove zarafa app as it's a dependency . you then have to manually remove the plugins via rpm . that makes it a clearos question. I'm simply trying to get an answer as to why every plugin is installed by default and removing via yum will make you remove app zarafa.

James,

I had the same problems when I installed Webapp 2.2b2.
The only solution was to remove the plugins manually, by deleting the directory of the old plugins.

How did you installed the RC release of now the final release ?
Did you installed php-mapi-webapp which is in the package of webapp ?

I don't remember seeing that package bring in the rhel 7 packages but if it is you should install it for the final release. You need to remove some of the packages clearos has installed as they have changed names or are obsolete .

Yeah everything changed when they made the new clearcentre site live it broke quite a few howtos. I thought it would be resolved by now but nothing still hasn't changed if you lot are still mentioning it which is concerning. It's not good for newbies because it means they can't look up info about this server. Especially bad for us because I'm leaving my company in a few weeks for a new role and while I'm handing over I can't currently recommend him to look at the documents on the site if they're broken

Zarafa COS 7 - Why install all webapp plugins?

I've recently just installed WebApp 2.2 RC onto a clients server on ClearOS they had issues going to the settings then I remembered it was due to the plugins needing to be updated. When I wanted to remove some of the entire catalogue of plugins that were installed via yum I couldn't due to it wanting to remove app-zarafa core and other clearos apps.

I eventually resolved this by doing rpm -e nameofplugin.rpm --nodeps to resolve the issue but my question is this:

1) Why are all plugins for zarafa-webapp installed by default onto clearos installs?
2) Why does removing ones you don't actually want to keep require you to remove app-zarafa as a dependency?

Even when not enabled it will still slow things down and also plug names change from time to time and also as recently happened with 2.2 they've changed the authentication so you had to re-install all the plugins you had to the latest versions. I can see this being a pain for other clients if I want to install COS 7 in the future so I'm wondering if someone could explain the reasoning behind question 1) or at the very least question 2).

Hi James,

Looks like the links have changed however did a search on bridge at www.clearos.com and it turned up the following articles for ClearOS6 and 7
https://www.clearos.com/resources/documentation/clearos/content:en_us:kb_o_adding_bridged_interfaces
https://www.clearos.com/resources/documentation/clearos/content:en_us:kb_o_clearbox_as_a_transparent_inline_bridge

might help?

EDIT: Grr at forum editing of links, will have to C+P sorry

Meant to say thanks tim for your help on this, your pages helped I wish they'd update the documentation if they were going to change things around I have seen other threads about this also. I have another question but it's unrelated so I'll make a post about this.

ClearOS Documentation, what's happened?

It seems the change to store.clearcenter.com has now broken the documentation as I can not get access to the documentation anymore / it doesn't exist anymore

Example is: https://store.clearcenter.com/support/documentation/clearos_guides/adding_bridged_interfaces

Original location that tells you to go to clearcenter: https://www.clearos.com/resources/documentation/clearos/content:en_us:kb_howtos_network_bridging

Bit of a pickle as I needed this howto tonight for a install but I'll try and manage for now I think I got the Jist of it. I'm surprised no one has done anything about this as this has gone on for over a week now.

Please can you investigate the documentation not being on clearcenter as it means that users starting out will not have the most up to date knowledge on dealing with situations or advance tips for the server.

James,

Is the backup script also making a backup of the attachements ?

Only if you configured attachments to be in the database (by default it's set to be in files which is actually better for the database).

I recommend backing those up by either by rsync or rdiff-backup. I just do rdiff-backup for ONSITE backups as it backups up the whole server and that includes /var/lib/zarafa however if you just want to backup just the database and attachments maybe a zip or a tar.gz of the folder that's compressed to another location or backup drive.

Would be great is this was incorperated in the autobackup script [/quote]

This is just a standard mysql backup script but I'm sure you could probably add into it to do that for you, I'm personally learning bash myself (my boss does all of our scripts) so maybe one day I might piece together my own.
