SOGo does not start - segfault error 6 in libgnustep-base

,

Yes, I checked them. I tried using gdb and start sogo with another user.

You are right, nothing in sogo.log.

do a list of every rpm needed with a fresh installation, then remove them and reinstall sogo ?

already done ?

sorry for the delay, the bike season has started :slight_smile:

I’ll try that, thank you.

fun I hit this issue too, can you recall what you did ?

I couldn’t solve it, I still have the issue…

I tried complete reinstall with all dependencies/delete db without success.

EDIT: First I thought it was about switching mail servers but I reinstalled complete sogo and mailserver…

got it workable, I used a bazzoka, feel free to use it … maybe only removing rpm and cleaning temp is necessary

yum remove  sogo* sope* gnustep* libwbxml* lasso* libobjc* libwbxml* memcached* nethserver-memcached* xmlsec1* xmlsec1-openssl* zip* -y
SYSTEMD_LOG_TARGET=console SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL=debug /usr/bin/systemd-tmpfiles --remove

rm -rf /usr/lib64/sogo 
rm -rf /etc/sysconfig/sogo.rpmsave
rm -rf /etc/e-smith/events/nethserver-sogo-update
reboot
yum install nethserver-sogo

After that, maybe I messed up some permissions (before or now) I got the service unavailable to start with this error message

2018-08-25 10:24:14.552 sogod[8247:8247] unable to get status of descriptor 2 - Bad file descriptor

this is because the user sogo doesn’t own the /var/log/sogo folder/file, then
chown sogo:sogo -R /var/log/sogo/

normally signal-event nethserver-sogo-update and your service should be up

check also opendkim, the socket was gone so

systemctl restart opendkim

tried to reproduce too, but failed to do so.

On the vm where the old nethserver-mail packages where installed (ldap account provider):

sogo is up and running just fine, old mails are visible and can send a reply on them.

Thanks, the bazooka worked :+1:

Maybe only cleaning systemd temp files would be enough, all other things I tried before without success. It worked without reboot. I had to restart opendkim too.

Didn’t worked for me :slightly_frowning_face: Sogo used to work on my server. I gave roundcube a try, hated it, zapped it and tried to reinstall SOGo.

To be continued…

PS / Also tried Mail app for nextcloud but it looks ressource hungry. Doesn’t work well on my poor 2Gb server.

What happens?

are there sogo left-overs for a former installation?

rpm -qa | grep sogo

Nope, no leftovers.

I made progress anyway : that post put me on the track : I have epel repo enabled. So I excluded the gnustep* libraries as suggested, and another version coming from nethforge installed.

No more segfaults

I guess that’s the solution : wrong library version installed.

That said, it’s still not working :joy: : timeout starting the daemon. But I believe that’s another story.

that should not be a problem, we do not exclude epel packages on any installation.
Some how you seem to have old packeges / leftovers somewhere

Maybe it is time for the “bazzoka” @stephdl suggested above

Nope. I tried the bazooka method before. It didn’t work.

And as a matter of a fact I ended with different versions gnustep versions:

Without epel :

yum[8984]: Installed: gnustep-base-libs-1.24.6-6.el7.centos.x86_64                                                                                                                                           
yum[8984]: Installed: gnustep-base-1.24.6-6.el7.centos.x86_64

With epel, after bazooka :

yum[11593]: Installed: gnustep-base-libs-1.24.9-1.el7.x86_64                                                                                                                                                   
yum[11593]: Installed: gnustep-base-1.24.9-1.el7.x86_64

I do not understand from which repo this packages come from,
Looking at the change log gnustep-base-1.24.9-1.el7.x86_64 in the epel is unchanged since 2016-08-21.

It does not live in nethserver-repo’s.

EDIT: no other centos repo seem to have this version
Do you have other repositories enabled?

I checked my sogo installation that’s working with 1.24.9-1 from epel and did a downgrade of gnustep-base and it expects it to come from nethforge.

Error: Package: gnustep-base-1.24.6-6.el7.centos.x86_64 (nethforge)
           Requires: gnustep-base-libs = 1.24.6-6.el7.centos
           Installed: gnustep-base-libs-1.24.9-1.el7.x86_64 (@epel)
               gnustep-base-libs = 1.24.9-1.el7
           Available: gnustep-base-libs-1.24.6-6.el7.centos.x86_64 (nethforge)
               gnustep-base-libs = 1.24.6-6.el7.centos

Maybe it came from initial install long time ago and/or was cached somehow?

It is really strange :crazy_face: not not see it in the nethserver-repository…

this or one off the sogo packages ‘provides’ the older version.

Yep I remember having read that Sogo provides that library. And it seems to me that I saw that my (working) version is coming from nethforge.

Will try to hunt it down later, however are you settled now?

Probably one of the AutoReqProv: off in the SPEC files sheds light on this mystery.

To be frank just learned about the Automatic Dependencies option;
This while I am responsible for porting the Spec files from upstream Sogo to NethForge. :hushed:

Do not want to change it. It worked pretty good last years, @stephdl what do you think?

BTW next time we build SOGo we should update libwbxml. This may improve / introduce ActiveSync (EAS) 16 support.
