Prepare for the EWS / grommunio 2023.11.1 release

WalterH · 2023-11-06T19:37:33+00:00

The current community release contains the EWS code and many improvements. Unfortunately, there also some issues. Here I provide some tips and tricks to fix...

WalterH

weini you have an very strange setup! My /etc/nginx/conf.d/grommunio.conf file contains only one line:

cat /etc/nginx/conf.d/grommunio.conf
include /usr/share/grommunio-common/nginx.conf;

I assume, this setup can not be supported.

WalterH

Please show the content of /usr/share/grommunio-common/nginx/upstreams.d/ with:
ls -l /usr/share/grommunio-common/nginx/upstreams.d/

weini

Now I understand!

You are fully right, it was me tweaking my setup and causing the issue.
When adjusting my configuration, I moved some content from /usr/share/ into the conf files residing in /etc as I needed to do some modification due to my reverse proxy setup in front of nginx.
So it is obvious why my configuration was not updated.

So sorry for stealing your time and many thanks for pointing me to the issue.

weini for me everything is working as intended after the last update(s)

Thanks, @WalterH , for providing this information. Very much appreciated.

BTW: why did the developers decide to use non-specfic file names such as nginx-access.log instead of package specific names such as grommunio-access.log? My server is not just running grommunio. Can I rise this issue somewhere?

This commit clarifies how to enable EWS: https://github.com/grommunio/gromox/commit/6e623631ccc32226fd1019add12e08aba2eb8e17 for testing.

TL;DR: Set ews_beta = 1 in /etc/gromox/ews.cfg. More details will be in the release notes tomorrow.

@WalterH : The dependency (php-intl) is in the packages since 2023-11-08, no need anymore to adopt the dependency or manually install as in your article.

Na dann bin ich auf die Release-Notes gespannt.
Konnte aber trotzdem nicht warten! Die neuen Icons im "Breeze"- Thema der WEB-GUI sind super.
Auf meinem Mac konnte ich ein Apple-Mail Konto einrichten, aber Apple Mail stürzt jedes Mal nach ca. 2 Sekunden ab. Kurz kann man einen gefüllten und aktuellen Posteingang erblicken, dann folgt der Absturz. Das warten wir mal wie gesagt ab!

WalterH

THE_FRICKLER I have the same issue, Mail app crashes immediate. macOS Big Sure 11.2.3. I will update to 11.7.10 and test again.

THE_FRICKLER

I use macOs 14.1

THE_FRICKLER

and get this on Grommunio-Admin WEB

THE_FRICKLER

meine ews.cfg hat nur:

ews_beta=1
#ews_experimental=1
#ews_log_filter=*
#ews_pretty_response=yes
#ews_request_logging=yes
#ews_response_logging=1
#ews_debug=1
#smtp_server_ip=::1
#smtp_server_port=25

WalterH

THE_FRICKLER Development was able to reproduce this issue. I assume the release will be shifted for some days.

WalterH

Meine ews.cfg hat mehr Einträge ändert aber nichts.

ews_pretty_response=1
ews_request_logging=1
ews_response_logging=1
#ews_debug=1
ews_experimental=1
# ab 10.11.2023:
ews_beta=1

491810

The release came out a few days ago and the issue is still there. Or did anyone find a fix/workaround?

rosgarden

Wo findet man den die ews.cfg Datei, bzw. wo muss diese angelegt werden?

Mister2

rosgarden Create the file in /etc/gromox/ews.cfg

You will need at least:-

ews_beta=1
smtp_server_ip=::1
smtp_server_port=25

Then reboot for the settings to take place.

mwilliams

Mister2

A simple systemctl restart gromox-http will also do the trick instead of reboot.

WalterH

Mister2 smtp_server_ip=::1
smtp_server_port=25

I did not see any difference if this to settings exists or not in ews.cfg. I assume EWS works without of this settings.

Mister2

WalterH Correct, I just added it as I think the documentation suggests it should be there. When 11:2023 came out I could not send any emails via Mac Mail so added it, and about the same time the bug was fixed so have left it in 'just in case'.
