I tried
cd /usr/local/citadel/data; /usr/local/ctdlsupport/bin/db_recover -c
and got :
db_recover: BDB1520 Recovery function for LSN 597 28 failed on forward pass

Then tried .\database_cleanup.sh and got this:
Citadel Database Cleanup
---------------------------
This script exports, deletes, and re-imports your database. If you have
any data corruption issues, this program may be able to clean them up for you.
Please note that this program does a Berkeley DB dump/load, not a Citadel
export. The export files are not generated by the Citadel export module.
WARNING #1:
MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR DATA BEFORE ATTEMPTING THIS. There is no guarantee
that this will work (in case of disk full, power failure, program crash)!
WARNING #2:
citserver must NOT be running while you do this.
WARNING #3:
Please try "cd /usr/local/citadel/data; /usr/local/ctdlsupport/bin/db_recover -c" first. Run citserver afterwards to
revalidate whether its fixed or not, No news might be good news. Use this
tool only if that one fails to fix your problem.
WARNING #4:
You must have an amount of free space on your disk that is at least twice
the size of your database, see the following output:
(for substantially better performance you should specify a location that is
on another disk than /usr/local/citadel/data)
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev 961M 0 961M 0% /dev
tmpfs 196M 19M 178M 10% /run
/dev/sda1 96G 26G 66G 29% /

you will need 5.0G of free space.

citserver then started OK, but the cloent usernames and passwords were not recognised,
Any ideas on how I can startt and recover the data?
regards
Kim
I ran the db_baclup and db_restore commands manually and citserver has now started successfully.
Thanks for pointing out the failure.

On Red Hat Enterprise.
Ok, I don't have access to that operating system since it costs a lot of money, but we can try a few things.
First, see if you can start Citadel Server from the command line:
cd /usr/local/citadel
./citserver -x9
If it looks like it's running, try running setup from another terminal. If it crashes, please post the last screenful of output.
First of all, thanks for your response. I had not seen it till after trying to install again and got back the same error indicated in previous message. So I followed your instructions and this is what I got back. I also checked the status of citadel service which indicated that it failed to start as you can see.
hi guys
when I putty into my server I get these broadcast messages

THis is clearly not good!
so the dump and restore of the database didnt seem to have fixed my issue, and I know if I stop citserver it wont start up properly
any Ideas on how I should progress?
Regards
Kim
Some further thoughts,
When I set this Citadel server up a few years ago I used a set of migrate commands that dumped the database as XML and then imported the XML,
does anyone know how I can find those commands?
I also recall that because of the size of the database, and the slowness of the servers I had to set a timeout parameter otherwise the actions failed,
but of course I dodnt write anything down so I cant remember what I did!

The program is called "ctdlmigrate" and you run it on the *receiving* system.
And I have good news: this program was substantially re-engineered last year and it is far more performant and reliable than it used to be. We removed the troublesome SSH transport and replaced it with a direct Citadel-to-Citadel connection.
Here's a documentation page showing the instructions, including a pretty screenshot!

[ https://www.citadel.org/how_do_i_move_citadel_to_another_host.html]Thanks for this, however I have an older version of the server running (929), and the documents suggest that the sending and receiving servers should be the same version. Also on a different note I have some Thunderbird users who have accessed the Citade server as a IMAP server, they ran compact which seemed to delete messages on the citadel server, have these messages really been deleted or are they still i the database somewhere, and can they be recovered?

Hello all!
I got Citadel working with my IPA server for LDAP auth. Now for email.
It appears Citadel did not install any email services.

And the settings in site settings dont appear to point to a server or service on the local system.
Do I need to install Dovecot/Postfix to complete the email solution?
Someone smarter than me about the inner workings will reply soon i'm sure, but no you dont need to install a mail service as email is integrated.
First of all, thanks for your response. I had not seen it till after
trying to install again and got back the same error indicated in
previous message. So I followed your instructions and this is what I
got back. I also checked the status of citadel service which
indicated that it failed to start as you can see.
Hmm. I am unable to reproduce this error. If you are running a Citadel built from source code (that includes Easy Install), perhaps you might consider running the Docker version? It's pre-built and runs wherever containers can run, and can't be foiled by the little differences between Linux distributions.
Sat Jun 18 2022 04:39:31 PM EDT from IGnatius T FoobarIf citserver failed to bind ports it will tell you in its log. I see that you have citserver answering on port 5222, which is the only port >=1024 that it uses. This suggests to me that you did not start citserver as root and therefore it could not bind to any of the low numbered ports.
Awesome! It was SELinux doing its thing. I set it to permissive and everything works great. Whatever bug I was hitting before with LDAP is now gone too! Thanks for the awesome alternative to corporate email!
Hello!
can I use my own logo and branding?

Ooooh, that's great! I've never seen any use for SELinux other than making stuff not work correctly :)
This might also be good advice for the other person above these messages who had trouble on RHEL. I don't know, maybe it'll work there too.

You can set the site logo in Citadel and it'll display in the corner and remain there. If you want more than that, go through /usr/local/webcit/static/ and replace whatever you want. Maybe keep a tarball of the files you modified so you can drop them back in whenever you upgrade.
