i think it is a modify branch bug from artica....

OK. But is the Organization code well-factored into objects ?? And emitting errors to the error log?? Is there even an artica.log ??

There is /usr/share/artica-postfix/ressources/logs/web/artica.log , but it is missing the LDAP error from yesterday 5pm. Only "system is overloaded" and sometimes "memory allocation failed, exit".

If there is a log of this LDAP error.. it should be relatively simple to analyze it, and fix the code, or the even modify the object design to better match the LDAP data/operational model ....

By the way.... which PHP IDE are you using ??

logs are stored in php.log or /usr/share/artica-postfix/ressources/logs/web/interface.debug

If need more history you need to edit the /usr/share/artica-postfix/ressources/logs.inc

Find the writeOtherlogs() function

Change

Code: Select all

if($size>1000000){unlink($logFile);}

to what you need...

Excellent choice, it's very professional..
I see the github is showing only Artica version 1.5 ?
https://github.com/dtouzeau/artica-1.5
Last push to master 4 months ago.
So, you're not using github ?
Using your local git repository only ?

take the last nightly to have a freshed code...
Most part of artica is coded in php

OK, but maybe it's best to use GitHub because of the version control, and possibility of teamwork ?
My opinion - with more aggressive of social media - twitter and facebook (800 million users) - it will be easier to attract developers to join the project.
And the teamwork part of GitHub (or TeamCity by jetBrains, also very good, but more corporate focused) would be essential.

Probably also a good idea to convert Artica to a commercial open source project?
Free open source version, and paid Pro/Enterprise/Ultimate versions with special license pricing deals, and support?
Offering Artica cloud hosting packages ?
Complete business functionality in one box?
Email, Webmail, Antivirus, Website content management systems, VOIP, CRM, ERP, Mobile access to all, high security, backups of server and all office pc/laptops/mobiles, location tracking of all mobiles and pc's, bulletproof/unhackable.

all these commercial tasks are interesting but artica must be branded before and used by more people

True - to be used by more people, it requires

1) a better organized public relations campaign on twitter + fb + other social networks...

2) Also, a specific plan for development , for Artica core code / a new plugin architecture (to allow 3rd party app projects to easily integrate into Artica) / phpunit test case code (an empty template of example code, to test any existing or new feature in Artica core, or plugins ).

3) A fully tested recommended IDE setup for the most popular PHP IDEs to hook into github / Xdebug / phpUnit, and how exactly they can download, edit, and push code updates. A procedure for David (or some designated persons) to test and accept/decline code contributions. These well organized collaboration procedures would serve to attract more contributors, because they are confident both in their development procedures, and that their machine IDE/etc. would be fully configured, up and running in 60 minutes max.

4) As the number of contributors and live running Artica systems grows, Artica will attract more and more major open source business software apps:

webERP / openERP / openBravo,
SugarCRM / Compiere / Salesforce / MS Dynamics CRM / VTiger /InfoAtHand,
pbx In A Flash / Elastix /Trixbox,
PostgreSQL / SQLServer / Oracle / DB2,
Magento / Zencart / osCommerce / ,
Zendesk /etc.,
Zarafa / Open-X-Change, etc.

These business app projects will want to develop and contribute plugins, which install and integrate their apps more tightly and reliably, both with Artica, and with the other apps installed on Artica - one set of user logins/passwords used by all apps in each Artica organization!
They will provide very easy minimal screens for the admin to access, during the installation and update of settings.
They will also reuse code that the app project already has, to read/write the config files, always be in a correct state, and be able to adapt easily to user edits of the config files.
