Install Kopano on Fedora 25

hkaiser

Really no one has an idea?

the fedora packages are not actively tested by us so it could be that the packages have wrong dependencies. I would rather recommend to try an installation based on CentOS or RHEL (if you’re married to rpm packages). Otherwise Debian is a solid choice as well.

After Fedora, I tried an install on Centos 7, but it is also inpossible, because it is impossible to resolve all dependencies. Centos ist a tested version of Kopano? Thanks in advance.

@hkaiser said in Install Kopano on Fedora 25:

Centos ist a tested version of Kopano?

It certainly is no favorite but is tested regularly. In fact just a few days ago I deployed a centos 7 machine with a master build to reproduce a report.

Hi Felix,

Maybe you have an tutorial which works? I took the zip-file from the kopano download page for Redhat 7, but the are so much dependencies to resolve. Only using yum localinstall or rpm seems to become a problem. Especially the order of installing the packages. Thanks in advance.

@hkaiser have you tried https://documentation.kopano.io/kopanocore_administrator_manual/installing.html#rpm-based-distributions ?

Hi Felix,

Yes i have tried this totorial, with it, I always get the dependencies problems. For example kopano-client needs libmapi, but libmapi needs kopano-client. So maybe there is a mor exact tutorial? thanks in advance.

Hi HK,

Maybe you can create a local repo so yum can fix your dependencies problems for you
Just unpack the tar.gz and use

createrepo /path/to/kopano/packages

Then create a repo list (e.g. /etc/yum.repos.d/kopano.repo)

[Kopano-core]
name=Kopano core
type=rpm-md
baseurl=file:///path/to/kopano/packages
gpgcheck=0
gpgkey=0
enabled=1

Then use yum to install the packages

yum  update
yum install kopano-server-packages

@robing +1 this would have been my next recommendation as well (apart from using something debian based, where you could so the same tricks with local repositories).

Hi,

@robing, @fbartels

A lot of thanks to you both, now it works. If someone else make it like this, please be careful with activating epel. But the installation worked like a charme.

Thanks again,
