clearos5.1 migration, cont

problem: continuing migration

what im not doing: giving in

now that i had a bootable system i selected all required packages from the web interface. after a while, all the expected options were available and we were getting somewhere! while scanning through all the new options i found that the mail-antispam page was blank... a bit of googling returned that this is a bit of a bug (undocumented) that arises if the package is installed post-os-install. seems that

Postgrey.class.php

is missing. found the following fix

wget http://download1.clearfoundation.com/clearos/enterprise/5.1/System/RPMS/app-greylisting-5.1-20.i386.rpm

rpm -Uvh app-greylisting-5.1-20.i386.rpm

but this is where i met an old problem. for some reason our router resolves some internet addresses to

1.0.0.0

and i have had limited success when removing ipv6 on the host. as a deb head, this is done by appending

install ipv6 /bin/true (always returns 0)

to

/etc/modprobe.conf

then updating / adding

NETWORKING_IPV6=no

IPV6INIT=no

to

/etc/sysconfig/network

then

service network restart

rmmod ipv6

(didnt work, had to reboot)

but, alas... problem remained. so, changed the dns address in

/etc/resolv

service network restart

to an open dns address, and all went well. mail-antispam was all good. however, i recalled with clarkconnect4.2 when the host dns address didnt match the auto-supplied router dns address for pptpd (still stuck on wins, no local dns), although remote connection was fine, it caused an issue with routing and the remote lan wasnt available from the remote host. so, some remote testing was next.

remote tests proved fine, must have been an issue with clarkconnect4.2!

now to setting the server up for production...
