Zarafa7 on SME8

If you want to test the new Zarafa 7 version on SME8b6: install as described here, download the needed files from bugzilla:5789 => Comment#5 and extract as described, make the following symbolic links and restart apache:

ln -s /lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8e /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8
ln -s /lib/libssl.so.0.9.8e /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8

Dependancies

Here are links to all the dependencies that I used for version 7.0.1.28479 (free):

libicu - ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp.centos.org/5.7/os/i386/CentOS/libicu-3.6-5.16.i386.rpm
poppler-utils - ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp.centos.org/5.7/os/i386/CentOS/poppler-utils-0.5.4-4.4.el5_6.17.i386.rpm
poppler - ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp.centos.org/5.7/os/i386/CentOS/poppler-0.5.4-4.4.el5_6.17.i386.rpm
hicolor-icon-theme - ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp.centos.org/5.7/os/i386/CentOS/hicolor-icon-theme-0.9-2.1.noarch.rpm
bitstream-vera-fonts - ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp.centos.org/5.7/os/i386/CentOS/bitstream-vera-fonts-1.10-7.noarch.rpm
w3m - ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp.centos.org/5.7/os/i386/CentOS/w3m-0.5.1-18.el5.i386.rpm

If you are upgrading from version 6 you will also need these dependencies:

MySQL-python - ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp.centos.org/5.7/os/i386/CentOS/MySQL-python-1.2.1-1.i386.rpm
mx - http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os/i386/CentOS/mx-2.0.6-2.2.2.i386.rpm

Installation

To make things a bit more easy for non Zarafa experts, I used this procedure for a clean install. Get zcp 7.01, unpack, remove the devel packages and install all rpm's:

yum localinstall *.rpm

All packages have dependencies that cannot be resolved if you install only part of the rpm's (as suggested installation instruction for zcp 6.40).

Then install smeserver-zarafa. I could not retrieve this file from the smevdev repository (sme8 uses another one?). Get it manually and install:

wget http://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/smeserver/releases/7/smedev/i386/RPMS/smeserver-zarafa-0.9.0-53.el4.sme.noarch.rpm
yum localinstall smeserver-zarafa-0.9.0-53.el4.sme.noarch.rpm
/etc/e-smith/events/actions/zarafa-install

expand the php-mapi patch patch and and the symbolic links (see first text block above: Zarafa7 on SME8).

If you use webaccess mobile, change 86ZarafaAlias template bugzilla:6552

If you use z-push, download and install (see here mobile synchronization). You have to change the name of the installation folder from z-push<version #> to z-push, because this is expected by the smeserver-zarafa package. The download extracts correctly but leaves the file and group ownership to some unknown user 33. I changed that (might not be necessary, I consider it a small security risk).

chown -R root:root /var/www/html/z-push

Then post-upgrade and restart.

For upgrades (tested with 6.40.2): zarafa-server does not start, there is an error message in the /var/log/zarafa/zarafa-server.log file which tells you to update the database first. A python script is provided to do just that. See also [zarafa administration manual]! Stop running zarafa services, make sure a backup of the zarafa mysql database exists, install MySQL-python, run update script.

yum install MySQL-python
python /usr/share/doc/zarafa/zarafa7-upgrade

Reports the script failes with wrong inno_db settings for mysql are on the zarafa forums. So verify your local MySQL innodb settings match the required values [zarafa administration manual]).

Sogo

FYI, I'm now using Sogo instead of zarafa, hence I have stopped work on smeserver-zarafa.

Sogo may not be as complete as zarafa, but is simpler to intergrate/maintain and will likely have a wider usage.

I will mantain it for now, Paul Floor

Suggestions

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

smeserver-zarafa-0.9-48

/etc/e-smith/events/actions/zarafa-services-stop has been removed

/etc/e-smith/events/actions/zarafa-services
Usage: start|stop|restart|enabled|disabled

start services
stop services
restart services
enabled - set db values to enabled, zarafa will start on reboot
disabled - set db values to disabled, zarafa won't start on reboot


InnoDB support is enabled automatically, we need to add this note later


Important.png Note:
InnoDB support in MySql has been enabled in order to get zarafa-server running, for details see MySQL#Enable_InnoDB_engine


zarafa-6.40

yum localinstall libvmime-0*.rpm libical-0*.rpm zarafa-*.rpm catdoc-*.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,

yes it's not implemented yet, it'll only be implemented in sme8 unless others find the dependencies

Snoble 01:13, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Dependencies are poppler and poppler-utils. Available here:

ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/apt.kde-redhat.org/kde-redhat/redhat/4/i386/RPMS.stable/poppler-0.5.4-0.3.el4.i386.rpm

ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/apt.kde-redhat.org/kde-redhat/redhat/4/i386/RPMS.stable/poppler-utils-0.5.4-0.3.el4.i386.rpm

NOTE: Some poppler versions have been identified with security issues. I didn't have time to look into this version.

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

I found with the mapi error that I was getting was caused by my upgrade, PHP wouldn't start as the file libvmime.so.0 was missing or something rather (log no longer has the message). How I fixed my issue was I deleted the symlink in the /usr/lib/libvmime.so.0 which pointed to ...libvmime.0.7.1.so which is deleted when you upgrade the packages for version 7. I then "reinstalled" libvmime-0.9.2+... and restarted the httpd damaen and all was right with the world. -- Garth Kirkwood (girkers)
