kopano archiver error

klipp

I tried to set up the kopano archiver and got some problems

first one:
After first archiving, a new store was attached to my user with all old mails in the correct folders.

But after looking into the database i found out that the archiv store is not in the archiv database. The store is in the server database.

Why is the archiv not stored in the archiv database?

second one:

It is not possible to delete or create folders in archiv. Why?

third one:

what sould be inserted into the kopanoUserArchiveServers attribute in LDAP. I could not find a description for it?

Server Debian 8 with core-8.5.81.224_0+29-Debian_8.0-amd64 and webapp-3.4.10.1330+755-Debian_8.0-all

The LDAP attribute of a user has to specify the archiver server. Not sure what happens if it is missing, but if it does not stop, it might just use archiveserver=userserver.

kopanoUserServer: ms1.lh
kopanoUserArchiveServers: ms2.lh

This mean:

There should be 2 seperate kopano servers.
The first one is the primary server and the second one is the archiv server.

In my configuration i only have one server with two databases.

@klipp said in kopano archiver error:

yes, this is also how it is explained in https://documentation.kopano.io/kopano_archiver_manual/

It does not have to be two separate systems. But if you want the archive database to be separate from the main database, you will need to run two kopano-server instances, at different TCP and socket ports naturally. Two or more kopano-server instances mean multiserver, and that requires appropriate LDAP entries for said servers, plus a DNS name. It all can run on the same system, but performance is said to be only won by spreading it out onto different hardware.
