Mailinabox: Cannot install checksum error on fresh machine

[ajimix]

Hello,

I'm trying to install on a fresh machine and I'm getting the following checksum error:
```Installing Z-Push (Exchange/ActiveSync server)...

sha1sum: WARNING: 1 computed checksum did NOT match

Download of http://download.z-push.org/final/2.3/z-push-2.3.8.tar.gz did not match expected checksum.
Found:
66b1613faef61590836682ff1a43d559827fe08b /tmp/z-push.tar.gz

Expected:

Thanks

[yodax]

Thanks for reporting this!

They seem to hove dropped a new version over the old one. All the file dates in it have changed.

Z-push have announced that they will (for future) version not offer tar balls any more, just git or packages.

Might be best to start tracking git, so this doesn't happen any more. When I have a moment I can change the installer to use git instead of the tar bal. (Or if someone else has some time to pick it up)

[yodax]

I have a prelim fix for this. So far the differences between the git version and the tar bal seem limited. That setup works on my dev box, but it will require some more testing.

I'll post a WIP PR when I have a second.

[yodax]

I've posted a PR for this. If you want to test that, that would be great! :smile:

[ajimix]

Ok I tested your branch and it worked 👍

[praveenbhat]

@ajimix Could you please tell me how to use the branch posted by @yodax

[ajimix]

@praveenbhat you need to manually clone his branch and manually run the setup/start.sh script instead of following the normal installation procedure

[rootion]

I cloned this branch https://github.com/yodax/mailinabox/tree/zpushgit
but keep having issues. I can't continue the installation after this:

Download of http://download.z-push.org/final/2.3/z-push-2.3.8.tar.gz did not match expected checksum.
Found:
66b1613faef61590836682ff1a43d559827fe08b  /tmp/z-push.tar.gz

[yodax]

Can you show the output of git status?

[rootion]

You are absolutely right. I cloned the master branch! should have done:
git clone -b zpushgit https://github.com/yodax/mailinabox.git

Now git status is correctly displaying

On branch zpushgit
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/zpushgit'.

Installation is now successful. Thank you!

[yodax]

👍🏻

Hi there, Having the same problem and tried
git clone -b zpushgit https://github.com/yodax/mailinabox/tree/zpushgit
It returns

Cloning into 'zpushgit'...
fatal: repository 'https://github.com/yodax/mailinabox/tree/zpushgit/' not found

I am sure I am doing something wrong, maybe someone can point me in the right direction

Thx

[donsicilly]

@edwardstechncial
Your not doing anything wrong...the whole issue is pissed off and tired.. i got same error too
git clone -b zpushgit https://github.com/yodax/mailinabox/tree/zpushgit
It returns

Cloning into 'zpushgit'...
fatal: repository 'https://github.com/yodax/mailinabox/tree/zpushgit/' not found

NO ONE IS READY TO PASTE STEP BY STEP SSH CODE to install MAILINABOX SUCESSFULLY without the error of zpush.

i am tired bro for the past 6 days now.

[rootion]

I typed the wrong command from my terminal, it should have been:
git clone -b zpushgit https://github.com/yodax/mailinabox.git
Just tested it. It works.

[donsicilly]

@yodax
Since you have solution to fix this problem..
WHY CAN'T YOU PASTE STEP BY STEP SSH CODE to install MAILINABOX SUCESSFULLY without the error of zpush...Starting from cloning your branch till the mailinabox successfully installed?

[donsicilly]

FOR THOSE WHO KNOW PROGRAMMING MORE THAN US BELOW IS THE EXAMPLE WHAT TO TEACH AND HELP FIX PROBLEM AND SITUATIONS NOT BY JUST GIVEN HALF INFORMATION.

zpush error fixed

Follow below steps to sucessfully install mailinabox

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
apt-get install git nano curl
git clone -b zpushgit https://github.com/yodax/mailinabox.git
cd mailinabox
sudo setup/start.sh

[edwardstechncial]

Thank you
installed successfully.

sudo apt-get install git-all
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get update
sudo git clone -b zpushgit https://github.com/yodax/mailinabox.git
cd mailinabox
sudo setup/start.sh

[yodax]

I deliberately didn’t give any detailed instructions. This is just to test if the fix works. If you don’t know how to clone a different branch it is very likely you also don’t know how to change remotes when you want to go to the upstream/master again. Meaning a second support issue.

[fedpettinella]

Looking forward to this being in the master branch.

[JoshData]

I merged the PR above. Thanks all.

Hi All,

assuming you completed your install before yodax's changed were commited to master, this should help you get back on track.

I would like to post my work around that allowed to successfully install MIAB, AND get back to @JoshData's official branch after working around the z-push packages schenangians.

1. New DO Droplet accoring to instructions
2. apt-get install git
3. cd ~ (to be safe)
4. git clone -b zpushgit https://github.com/yodax/mailinabox.git
5. cd mailinabox
6. bash setup/start.sh
7. (installation ensues, once complete you will have v0.13 installed, however the latest is v0.25 so we're gonna do the following to get back on track)
8. Take snapshot of Droplet
9. cd ~ && rm -rf mailinabox/*
10. git clone https://github.com/mail-in-a-box/mailinabox
11. bash setup/start.sh
12. ???
13. profit?

Hope this helps while we wait for a push to release!

[yodax]

It should just work if you start with step 10. My changes are in master.

[Dev-2021]

fatal: destination path 'mailinabox' already exists and is not an empty directory
solution for: - ubuntu 14.04
sudo apt-get install git-all
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get update
apt-get install trash-cli
trash mailinabox
sudo git clone -b zpushgit https://github.com/yodax/mailinabox.git
cd mailinabox
sudo setup/start.sh

[yodax]

Don’t do it that way. Don’t clone my fork. Remove the existing directory. Clone the master branch from miab directly.

[fedpettinella]

@JoshData Could we have this in the release so we can do curl -s https://mailinabox.email/setup.sh | sudo bash?

[JoshData]

There are some other issues that I'd really like to square away before making another release https://github.com/mail-in-a-box/mailinabox/labels/release%20blocker%21 since they're preventing new installs.

[ali3seven]

Thanks yodax, It works fine for me too. (Ubuntu 14.04.3)
didn't show no zpush wrong checksum again and installation continued:

sudo apt-get install git-all
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get update
sudo git clone -b zpushgit https://github.com/yodax/mailinabox.git
cd mailinabox
sudo setup/start.sh

[hachre]

Guys. You don't need the yodax fork. The fix is in the official repo in master.
Please just use that!

On an existing install run all of these, on a fresh install run all except the mv:

sudo -i
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get install git

cd /root
mv mailinabox mailinabox_old # On existing installs only
git clone https://github.com/mail-in-a-box/mailinabox.git
cd mailinabox
bash setup/start.sh
bash setup/start.sh # the first one will fail due to bug #1298, run it again to make it succeed

[meglio]

Step 9 should be cd ~ && rm -rf mailinabox, not cd ~ && rm -rf mailinabox/* (in order to remove the whole mailinabox directory. Otherwise git clone in the following steps won't work.

Step 11. Before doing bash setup/start.sh, you'll need to cd mailinabox.

It's amazing how nobody listens... :P

I suggest yodax just removes (or renames) their fork to prevent people from using it.

[yodax]

I’ve deleted my branch.

[ali3seven]

You don't need the yodax fork. The fix is in the official repo in master.
Please just use that!

@hachre Thanks but I'm afraid that it works now.
here is the output after got clone official repo and run start.sh:
#bash start.sh
start.sh: line 5: setup/functions.sh: No such file or directory
start.sh: line 10: setup/preflight.sh: No such file or directory
start.sh: line 34: setup/migrate.py: No such file or directory

Actually I saw these file in the directory but I don't know why prompt.
Completely reboot and remove old folder, no luck.
Are you sure it works? or Any idea?

[hachre]

You need to be in the mailinabox folder and run bash setup/start.sh.
It looks like you were within mailinabox/setup and ran bash start.sh. That doesn't work!

[ali3seven]

@hachre Thanks for your hint and very quick reply, You are absolutely right. I followed the installation. it seems all the things done well. Installation was completed.
But after cannot access admin url (https://IP-ADDRESS/admin).
In fact it seems there is not any 443 port for listen web access. Also nginx and apache2 service status shows _running_. I was wondering if you have any hint for that too. Thanks.

[rootion]

First time I installed I had the same issue and couldn't access the IP address/admin. So I deleted mailinabox folder, cloned the repository again, ran the install again and it worked perfectly.

[fedpettinella]

@ali3seven this is another open issue at the moment. https://github.com/mail-in-a-box/mailinabox/issues/1298

Running the setup a second time solves the issue for now. @JoshData has mentioned that it's a release blocker

[ali3seven]

@fedpettinella @rootion Thanks all, I will try it and continue on #1298 .
Also It's very nice to see bodies help each other without expecting anything. Plenty of Thanks for OpenSource and Plenty Thanks Guys.
