Help install Kolab on Netgear ReadyNAS Pro (ultra 4)
Hi I would like to have an Microsoft Exchange alternative on my Netgear. I was wondering if anyone knows kolab, and if so how to install it on my ReadyNAS. It seems Kolab is the ONLY alternative that is 100% free, and when its free... i love it 🙂
kolab: http://kolab.org/
Im kinda new on linux building packages, but i would like to make a package of this at the end with some help of the gurus here.

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.

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:

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.

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.

Do you know if i could extend the internal memory easy? google hasnt much to say about this.
Heven't tried with the Ultra yet. Works fine on my Pro, though. So if you open your Ultra and check what specs the current RAM has I don't see why it shouldn't work using larger modules.

Actually the general process is still the same as outline by Yoh-Dah's original post. The "magic" is in the install.sh which handles all the installation details and where you have to add your stuff.
