Setup

Preparation

• Add Open-Xchange in the path and open a session (or reopen)

echo PATH=$PATH:/opt/open-xchange/sbin/ >> ~/.bashrc && . ~/.bashrc

• Remove localhost root password.

mysqladmin -u root -pCurrent_Password password ''

Create configdb Database

• Init configuration database

/opt/open-xchange/sbin/initconfigdb --configdb-pass=openxchange_password -a --mysql-root-passwd=root_password

• Add Basic Configuration

MAX_MEMORY_FOR_JAVAVM=1024
/opt/open-xchange/sbin/oxinstaller --no-license \
--servername=oxserver --configdb-pass=openxchange_password \
--master-pass=admin_master_password --network-listener-host=localhost --servermemory $MAX_MEMORY_FOR_JAVAVM

• Adjust Mail server properties

vi /opt/open-xchange/etc/mail.properties

• Since Java8 option MaxPermSize is not supported and you need to remove that option from "/opt/open-xchange/etc/ox-scriptconf.sh"

-- Replace

JAVA_XTRAOPTS="-Dsun.net.inetaddr.ttl=3600 -Dnetworkaddress.cache.ttl=3600 -Dnetworkaddress.cache.negative.ttl=10 -Dlogback.threadlocal.put.duplicate=false -server -Djava.awt.headless=true -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:CMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction=75 -XX:+UseCMSInitiatingOccupancyOnly -XX:NewRatio=3 -XX:+UseTLAB -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -Dosgi.compatibility.bootdelegation=false -XX:-OmitStackTraceInFastThrow -Xmx1024m"

• Restart Open-Xchange Service

service open-xchange restart

• Validate if Open-Xchange is runnning

ps -aef | grep open-xchange

and

netstat -atpn | grep java

You should get something like

tcp6       0      0 127.0.0.1:8009          :::*                    LISTEN      11632/java
