Docs/help

Hello All,
As a longtime Postfix/Mandrake user I decided to crawl into
the 21st  
century and setup an Ubuntu/Kolab box. I have downloaded and
 
installed ALL the deb files (and man there are quite a few 

dependencies!) and erm that's about it - I can't seem to
find any  
docs about how you configure this. I have also noticed that
if you  
connect to port 110 from a terminal it connects (ie some
kind of POP3  
daemon is running) but then does nothing and you have to
force a quit  
to get out of it - this doesn't bode well I would say but
hey, the  
glass is always half empty. Would anyone be able to a) point
me  
towards docs - I can't find any really that walk you through
post- 
install config or just give me some help getting this
working so I  
dont have to go back to my old setup?
Any help will be really appreciated.
Cheers
Si

nice to hear that you give Kolab a try. 

You'd need to give us some more specific information about
the setup
you chose so that we can help you. Ubuntu/Kolab is too
generic with
regard to the Kolab installation. The standard and in fact
well
supported and documented option would be to install Kolab in
an
OpenPKG environment on you Ubuntu box. It would then reside
in its own
/kolab folder.

Did you install it this way or did you try to install the
native
Ubuntu packages? I'm afraid these might be less well
documented 

Cheers,

Gunnar

HI there - I did indeed grab the Ubuntu packages from their
source  
tree - I have no issues getting the OpenPKG ones if you can
point me  
at a download/install site (the machine can be wiped easily
as it  
ain't doing anything until I retire my postfix box!) I'll
gladly nuke  
it and start again.
Cheers
Si

You can find the standard download sites on the kolab.org
website
(http://www.kolab.o
rg/download.html).

You might also wish to consult the wiki first and read a
little bit
about the different installation variants:

http://wiki.kolab.org/index.php/Kolab2_Installatio
n_-_Overview

This explains the background a little bit and tries to give
an
overview of the different installation variants.

Cheers,

Gunnar

Ok re my last mail - the failures for missing rpm files in
the output  
log - I just looked in the /kolab/RPM/PKG folder it is
referencing  
with these missing file errors and all of the files it wants
are in  
there eg.
obmtool:WARNING: install failure. Missing
/kolab/RPM/PKG/kolab-horde- 
framework-2.1.0-20070420.ix86-ubuntu7.04-kolab.rpm

that file along with all the other files it complains about
are in  
said folder - anyone got any pointers? Possible permission
issue?
