Kopano Installation in UBUNTU 18.04

irrlicht

I wrote a short tutorial for Debian Stretch for my students, it’s not full self explanatory. SSL/TLS is a later unit, we deactivate it here.
It’s in german

Hi irrlicht thank you for the document
is there any document in English language ?
can you please provide step by step installation process…?

mass

Please clear is this below procedure is perfect to install kopano core ?

To install kopano in ubuntu 18.04:
1.ubutnu 18.04LTS destop edition or Server edition.
2.installing kopano core.
3.install mysql & add user kopano.
4.install apache & php.
5.install kopano webapp.

irrlicht

first we should check the environment.
is kopano-server running?

lsof -i -P | grep kopano-se

or

ps fax  | grep kopano-se

or

netstat -tulpn

thctlo

@yaseen
hmm, why php7.0, Ubuntu 18.04 give 7.2
Check you repo setup.

Hi irrlicht i got below results after performing commands:

root@test:/home/user# lsof -i -P | grep kopano-se
root@test:/home/user# ps fax | grep kopano-se
661 ? Ssl 0:02 /usr/bin/python3 /usr/sbin/kopano-search -F
2089 pts/0 S+ 0:00 _ grep --color=auto kopano-se
root@test:/home/user# netstat -tulpn

Command ‘netstat’ not found, but can be installed with:

apt install net-tools

irrlicht

Would say that kopano-server is not running, first step should be to fix this issue, after you can try to install webapp.

MySQL-Server running?
Database ok?
user and passwort set in server.conf?
What’s in syslog or server.log when you restart service kopano-server?

thctlo

dpkg -l | grep kopano

apt-cache policy kopano-server

show these, because you are running different versionummers.

please check below output what it means?

root@test:/# ps fax | grep kopano-se
9225 pts/1 S+ 0:00 _ grep --color=auto kopano-se
8230 ? Ssl 0:03 /usr/bin/python3 /usr/sbin/kopano-search -F

thctlo

only kopano-search is running.
I told you what your problem is.

you are running different versions of kopano and that not possible.

Again show these, because these will show it.

dpkg -l | grep kopano
apt-cache policy kopano-server

@yaseen said in Kopano Installation in UBUNTU 18.04:

please check below output what it means?

First you should work on your linuxskills.

Installation of kopano is very good for learning/teaching because it includes a lot of methods of installation/administration. You mix official repositories with external pakets from kopano. You need a few databaseskills (mysql -u root -p…, create databases,…), knowledge about postfix (smtp) to marry postfix with kopano in main.cf, knowledge about linuxcommandline (ps fax, lsof, tail -f /var/log/syslog), basics in https/ssl/tls…

ps fax |grep kopano-se

ps fax lists all processes, “|grep kopano-se” searchs all processes with “kopano-se” in processname, here “kopano-search”. Most important service in kopano is kopano-server and this is not running.
Perhaps database doesn’t exist or wrong/missing user/password in server.cfg, wrong permissions for database…

Thanks for your advice & i definitely try to improve it.

as per the documentation https://kb.kopano.io/display/WIKI/Core
i have configured mysql added user in mysql & updated user details in /etc/kopano/server.cfg

irrlicht

Do you have the file /etc/kopano/server.cfg?
Which user/password/databasename? (test/pwd/kopano)?
check this with

mysql -u test -p

on mysql-cli

use database kopano;

if you can use this database check syslog

service kopano-server restart

parallel in other cli for errors, if you have no log file in server.cfg
kopano-server should log errors there

tail -f /var/log/syslog

maybe you should choose a way to get started with Kopano that provides an easier entry. For example https://wiki.z-hub.io/display/K4U/Documentation+-+Getting+Started or https://github.com/zokradonh/kopano-docker#how-to-get-started

mass

Anyone having step by step document of kopano installation (English) in ubuntu ?
