After giving up trying to set this up behind a NAT, I grabbed a VPS to start my setup again from scratch…
So I’ve got a fresh 14.04 Ubuntu (on OpenVZ), and running the following via SSH:
apt-get update
apt-get install curl
curl -s https://mailinabox.email/bootstrap.sh | sudo bash
I get through the initial configuration and get stuck on “Updating system packages…”
Where should I look for some logs about what’s going on?
OpenVZ messes up something with the bind9 package. If you CTRL+C it, you should see that apt-get is waiting for some user input. The hang is (hopefully) fixed already for the next release of Mail-in-a-Box, although I don’t know if that will make it work on OpenVZ. That will need more help.
Thanks Josh,
I was despairing a little last night reading all the issues with OpenVZ and Mail-in-a-Box - I had almost given up!
In the end the problem was a little more simple: update sources & packages. Can’t believe I hadn’t tried it before. After doing update && upgrade the install completed OK. I’ve got to the system status checks page now, and I’ll do some testing a bit later to see if everything is functional.
So far so good!
I got the latest version of MIAB to load in OpenVZ host from VPSCHEAP.NET which was amazing.
Didn’t even know this was a problem until now.
Thanks for the information!
