After upgrade to 8.2.0: "Cannot connect to Kopano Core."

r100gs

Hello,

I installed Kopano 8.2.0 on Univention Server.
Everything was working fine until restart off server.
Now I cannot log into webapp.
Z-Push is working fine, so I get emails on my android phone.

Best regards,
Stefan

@r100gs you would need to supply some more information if you expect helpful answers.

Hello,
just to mention:
uninstalling and reinstalling WebApp did not help.

At the moment I have no clue on where to look.

I’d prefer not to use the support through your partner (we’ve got the “basic” license only on this site), could you please give me some advise on where to look in the logs to find out what’s going wrong specifically?

BR,
HP

Hi @HPH_ZForum ,

thats the problem. I am not quite sure where the error lies, thats why I suggested that someone from our support has a look on your system. If you don’t want to go through your partner, you can still open a support case through https://portal.kopano.com/.

@fbartels got it. I’ve opened support case KS-37494. Let’s see how it goes!

Thanks and BR,

@fbartels
sorry about the delay.

I think in my case it has nothing to do with the LE-certificate
Meanwhile I reinstalled the server several times. And in the beginning everything works fine. With and without LE-certtificate but after restart the kopano webapp is not able to connect to mysql according to the server.log

I tried to edit /etc/mysql/my.conf like this

# Instead of skip-networking the default is now to listen only on
# localhost which is more compatible and is not less secure.
#bind-address           = 127.0.0.1

so it should be able to connect to mysql from every server.
But no effect

Is it possible that kopano server starts before mysql is started?

the mysql error.log shows

So i think its running?
but systemctl status mysql
shows that it is nor running?

I dont know what to do.

Hi @r100gs ,

ah that is something that also already came up in https://help.univention.com/t/fehler-nach-upgrade-4-2-kopano-startet-nicht-mehr/5444. Up until now I was not able to reproduce this here locally, but I also only have fresh 4.2 systems and none that are upgraded from 4.1.

EDIT: but if kopano-server did not start, then you actually should not be able to connect through z-push as well…

Hello @fbartels,

H.-P. Stradinger had a look at the config and it seems like

# Warning: the value "DEFAULT_SERVER" has been set via UCR variable "kopano/webapp/config/DEFAULT_SERVER"
//define("DEFAULT_SERVER","https://ucs.domain.local:237/zarafa");
  define("DEFAULT_SERVER", "file:///var/run/kopano/server.sock");

the now commented UCR variable was the culprit.

The connection works flawlessly now.

My question is: what is the correct UCR setting?

BR,
HP

fbartels

@HPH_ZForum yes, he updated me internally as well about this. And now I also know why the command I gave you above did not work, it was still for Zarafa…

ucr set kopano/webapp/config/DEFAULT_SERVER="\"default:\""

would have been the right one.

HPH_ZForum

@fbartels sure, I could have seen that as well… :face_palm:

Many thanks!

r100gs

Seems to work now! I was a little bit silly, but now I put in
kopano/webapp/config/DEFAULT_SERVER “file:///var/run/kopano/server.sock”

an its running!

THX for the great help!
