Suggestions
If you can advise on standard configuration, please make it a bug so it is added to the rpm

indexing service
The catdoc-rpm is needed for the new indexing service that is introduced with Zarafa 6.40... but the indexing-service is not yet handled by smeserver-zarafa. --jester 15:42, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
the catdoc rpm has un meet dependencies on SME 7 so it's only listed on discussion not the main page, and yes it's not implemented yet
it would help if you could check which config file it was in, the relevant line and raise a bug

SME 8 beta
php 5.2.10
The php mapi files zarafa uses are compiled against 5.1.6, if sme 8 uses 5.2.10 we have a problem
here is one workaround http://forums.zarafa.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3263&p=18753#p18753
Upgrade to Zarafa 6.30
Is there anything here we need to keep I like the signal-event pre-backup suggestion stephen
The new Zarafa 6.30 version has some interesting new features with the most interesting one CALDAV support.
As a precausion backup the MySQL database (files we be placed in: /home/e-smith/db/mysql/):
signal-event pre-backup
Download the new version from the Zarafa website (rhel4 / i386 / 3 Outlook license (or GPL)) and extract it: http://www.zarafa.com/download-community
tar -zxvf zarafa-6.30-rhel4-i386.tar.gz
Stop the Zarafa server:
/etc/e-smith/events/actions/zarafa-services-stop
yum localinstall zarafa-6*.rpm zarafa-webaccess-6*.rpm libical*.i386.rpm libvmime*.i386.rpm zarafa-licensed-6*.rpm (last not required for GPL)
To regenerate the configuration files:
/etc/e-smith/events/actions/zarafa-services start
With this new version some database conversions need to be done, This process must not be interrupted! So we will start the server and tail the server.log for this process to complete:
/etc/init.d/zarafa-server start tail -f /var/log/zarafa/server.log
You'll see some messages about creating and updating tables... wait until you see the 'Startup succeeded' message (see example output below). This process can take a fair amount of time if you have a lot of users and/or big mailboxes, or a few seconds for light use.
Start: Adding externid to 'object' table Done: Adding externid to 'object' table Start: Creating Single Instance Attachment table Done: Creating Single Instance Attachment table Start: Locking multiserver capability Done: Locking multiserver capability Start: Creating Addressbook Changes table Done: Creating Addressbook Changes table Start: Updating 'singleinstances' table to correct tag value Done: Updating 'singleinstances' table to correct tag value Listening for pipe connections on /var/run/zarafa Listening for TCP connections on port 237 Startup succeeded on pid 22957
To finish things off:
signal-event post-upgrade ; signal-event reboot
N.B. I updated my test box yesterday (07/25). In testing CalDAV from iCal, I found issues in the ical.log and the client would not connect to the calendar. I've raised it on the Zarafa forums. Des Dougan.
