This article describes how to set up a Kolab 2.2 server. It has been tested with Debian 5 and SUSE 11.1, but should work same or similar with other distributions.

  • get a root terminal and download all Kolab files:

cd ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/kolab/server/release/kolab-server-2.2.0/ix86-debian4.0/
  • install kolab:
sh install-kolab.sh 2>&1 | tee /root/kolab-install.log
/kolab/etc/kolab/kolab_bootstrap -b
  • Debian: stop exim: run services-admin and uncheck the e-mail-service (exim4)
  • SUSE: run /etc/init.d/kolab start
  • configure kolab
/kolab/sbin/kolabconf
/kolab/bin/openpkg rc all restart
