Hi,

I get this error when I try to install XMail server on SuSE 11.1 x86

error: Failed dependencies
libdb-4.2.so is needed by afterlogic-xmail-pro-3.3.21-1.i386

libdb-4.2.so is obsolete version since version present on SuSE 11.1 is 4.5 and 4.2 cannot be neither found nor installed on this version of SuSE.

Is there any way to go arround this error, or I have to use another distro?

Thanks

As per our experience, exact Berkeley DB library version doesn't really matter, but it shouldn't be older than 4.2. Thus, we suggest to create a symlink libdb-4.2.so (usually located in /usr/lib directory) pointing to actual library installed on your system. This should resolve the issue.

Hi,

Well still the same error comes up, regardsless of the symlink. I have however succeded installing it using --nodeps option i rpm, but there is bunh of errors coming up about missing user and group apache (in SuSE apache user is wwwrun and group is www).... obviously this cannot work on SuSE.

How about Debian? Any experience with this distro?

This can be configured in /var/MailRoot/server.tab file as follows:

Code:
User    "wwwrun"
Group   "www"


Be sure to use TABs, not spaces there.

Installer tries to assign permissions to MailRoot directory to the same user Apache is running under. If that fails due to different user/group used, modify server.tab files and assign full write permissions to that user/group over MailRoot.

It was tested on multiple Linux distros, including but not limited to: Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, PCLinuxOS.

Hi Igor,

Thanks for prompt replies. I will try today Debian and see how it goes. I would like to compile from source, so I assume that I should use .RUN file, since RPM do not work under Debian? Web root folder on my server is on different location from the default one. Can this also be adjusted in xmail?

Regards,
Emir

Yes, but it's possible to use alien tool to get .DEB package from .RPM; I've tried it once on Debian 4 and it worked.

As long as webparts configuration settings point to XMail location properly, location of webparts themselves makes no difference. But you should make sure that webparts configuration files are loaded correctly; this goes for WebMail Pro as well of course, in case if you're going to install it.
