Upgrade Appliance to opensuse 15.4

I've seen it in the history but wasn't sure if i was just doing nonsense at that moment :-).
That is an SuSe/Redhat-Behavior(not automatically enabling the Services)
In Debian the service is automatically enabled (which i might not want always but that's what it is..)

You can see that with systemctl list-unit-files --target enabled, it will look quite different depending on the OS

It was no problem, Admin-GUI was working. In there php-fpm enabled und started. 2 minutes later everything was working fine (Handy, Outlook etc.) I still use CORE and nothing else. After a secound reboot GRO runs without any further interaction smooth and gentle .
Thanks for the post

After the update from Leap 153 to Leap 15.4 i fond a difference next to "rpm -qa 'grom*'" in my native leap15.4 testinstall to the upgraded leap 153
in the upgraded VM two packets are missing: grommunio-index and grommunio-dbconf
the rest is similar. Should i install them manualy via rpm? The system ist running well without them!
The updatet VM was first installed in early 2021!

Done an running.

--- Aber jetzt mal ehrlich, bei meiner kleinen Familien-Installation kann ich keinen Zeit-Vorteil in der Suche finden.
Unsere Postfächer sind in der Regel ziemlich klein, Mail-Store sichert alle Mail on demand und löscht alles älter als 4 Monate. Der Zugriff auf dieses Archiv (auch per WEB eingebunden) ist für jeden User möglich und stellt ein Voll-Archiv seit 2005 zur Verfügung. Die Suche darin ist gefühlt noch schneller!

THE_FRICKLER

Ajo, kommt immer drauf an ob man es braucht oder nicht.
Ich persönlich verwende hauptsächlich IMAP aber die meisten anderen mit Linux benutzen des Webmail.. Da ist ne suche schon mal praktisch in nem geteilten Postfach.

Bin jetzt mal auf nem weiteren Server am Upgrade.
Sieht wohl so aus das man einfach ein zypper update gromox machen muss nach dem man auf 15.4 umgestellt hat und danach das zypper dup machen..

Ich hatte noch eine Nachfrage während des Upgrade zu einer nicht aufgelösten Abhängigkeit bei php8-soap.
Ich habe das upgrade erstmal angebrochen und manuell php8-soap installiert. Beim nächsten dup-start habe ich dann die Möglichkeit 1 (löschen aller alten php7 Abhangigkeiten) gewählt und schwupps lief es wie beschrieben.
Index läuft auch DB-Config habe ich nie benötigt!
Nochmals Danke für die Hinweise und Antworten

Too bad, it did not work so well for me. I have worked through all the points and everything has worked so far.
However, I can not call the Admin Web UI or the User Web. Apparently I have a SQL problem.
In various logs (e.g. gromox-http) I find the following:
(gromox-http): "mysql_adaptor: Failed to connect to mysql server: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/run/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)"
(gromox-http): "mysql_adaptor: failed to startup"
(gromox-http): "service: init of libgxs_mysql_adaptor.so not successful"
(gromox-http): "system: failed to run services"

Has anybody an idea to fix this? Thanks!

• Check the contents of /etc/gromox/mysql_adaptor.cfg - mysql_adaptor(4gx)

  • Remove the spaces "var = value" to "var=value"

• Your MySQLD is working?

  • mysql -t <<< "use grommunio; show tables;"
    should list you something/all tables.

• If not, is the mysqld even running?

  • systemctl status mysql.service

I've checked the content of mysql_adaptor.cfg. There is no spaces inbetween the var and values

mysql -t .... is listing nothing, it just states:
Error 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local server through socket '/run/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)

mysqld is not running:

I use only core - nothing else

hmm.. check the file /var/log/mysql/mysqld.log

I will create a dump of the database of my backup machine and will give it a try.
Thank's so far!

The reinstallation of MariaDB wasn't sucessfull. I'm getting a timeout failure and I cannot import the dump of my database.
On removing MariaDB I get following message:
warning: /etc/my.cnf saved as /etc/my.cnf.rpmsave
rm: cannot remove '/var/lib/systemd/migrated/mariadb': No such file or directory

The reinstallation is successful but starting the service stops with:

I increased the timeout to 600 sec. via systemctl edit mariadb.service but this had no effect.

Thanks for any help.

Also bei mir sieht das unter systemctl so aus:
