Help install Kolab on Netgear ReadyNAS Pro (ultra 4)

I had a look at Kolab some years ago and just had another look because of your post. As I could see the major problem with Kolab hasn't changed over the years: It is using a lot of heavyweight applications that are not that easy to setup and manage. Time permitting I'll try to have a closer look but don't get your hopes too high.

Well thank you for looking into it...

What I red on the internet installing is the bigest job... managing on the other hand is easy with the UI.

The real problem there is that Kolab at least partially depends on software that is already present on the ReadyNAS and needs to be upgraded to support Kolab, Upgrading base software always poses the risk of breaking things so it's not just hard to do it but a real bitch ;)

im guessing that ***** is bad :)

But we could install vmware as base right? and use the second nic as link... I would be happy with a detailed installguide... not that jibberish that i found on the website! :rofl:

Guess so, since the asterisks are made by the forum software, not by me. I used a word that ends on 'itch' - maybe I should have used PITA :-P

I don't see how adding another layer of complexity should make the task at hand easier ...

maybe the layer is complex but better if you need to do a factory reset... just backup the vm, and place it back after the VM addon is installed. My guess its better then reinstalling the whole Kolab stuff again.

PITA is ok :)

Factory Reset? If I were crazy enough to develop ON my ReadyNAS (which I'm not) I'd try to make really, really sure this won't happen.

you never know... by browsing the topics here i've seen allot of solutions contain a factory reset... so its not that crazy for safety is it? :shock:

In fact... installing your php 5.3.6 that i bought i needed a factory reset after the install i couldnt get into mysql via phpmyadmin... now im running the free version :)

You could have asked or just have edited the php.ini values for the MySQL socket ;) This "fix" will be included in the next release of the PHP add-on. Although it's rather a fix for the stupidity of the PHP developers who choose to make a socket connection whenever the user specifies "localhost" as host name.

Anyway, a Factory Reset shouldn't have been necessary at all. And with roughly 8TB of data on my ReadyNAS I for sure wouldn't do it.

I know... but i was out of time and it was 3.30AM for the both of us neighbour :)

Do you know if i could extend the internal memory easy? google hasnt much to say about this.
