I'd say the User (not admin) part of the GUI is the biggest issue I have. Too much confusion, doesn't look like a normal website (by todays standards).

For admin, you could remove the GUI and just do everything on the shell for all I care. Just stop the bitching from users.

I don't suppose this could somehow get more attention?

IMHO the web interface leaves a lot to be desired.

You're a man of few words.

You're not the first to say that.

1. install centos7
2. run your installer script (non KS).
3. fail.

Sorry. I wish I had a video of the whole thing. I saw there was a long discussion about it previously and figured it was common knowledge.

The setup gui still goes in a loop.

Is cockpit any better than webmin? I haven't used either much.

I just installed using the eFa v4 Release Candidate 2 build instructions. I couldn't get logged in. It went into a loop while asking me for the "Web Admin Username" and Password. Over and over and over.

Looks like this is down? https://mirrors.efa-project.org
Might be related to the crash.

If anyone else is wondering how to do this I think the proper steps are... 1. boot centos 7 iso 2. before the installation boots press tab 3. append "inst.ks=http://dl.efa-project.org/build/4/ksnobuild.cfg" to boot command 4. wait. wait. power on VM after it shuts down. 5. login as root / eFaPr0j3ct...

Where I'm from (visiting and working with lots of different companies) you rarely see a CentOS machine. Running around I see (in order of most common to least common) mostly Ubuntu, Debian, _other_, and finally a CentOS machine on very rare occasion. I've never even seen CentOS 7 in the real world. ...

This might help.

I stand by what I said here http://forum.efa-project.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=427#p747 I just installed efa 3.0.0.1. Its almost identical to esva. There is NO way I could had the web interface to a user and expect them to achieve user-level tasks. No form validation, confusing, etc etc. I appreciate ...

Great suggestion. I just installed 3.0.0.1 and am already frustrated. Its stuck doing some freshclam stuff and I can't login. I press alt-f1 to goto another console and it starts the initial configuration process. VERY annoying. Now I have to boot into single user mode and blah blah? Seriously? I th...

Released?? Awesome! Is there an upgrade path from ESVA?

So I'm not sure why people gave up on Baruwa. I understand installing it harder, but that's what EFA is for. Going back to to mailwatch is not desirable to me... Its just too crappy. The interface is ridden with obvious bugs, security holes, etc and there is no one maintaining. Going back to the ESV...

I'd be tempted to keep the baurwa 2 stuff efa specific and maybe skip the packages?
Not sure what's easiest.

I think our fearless leader darky83 has baruwa installed, but I'm not sure. If he does, maybe he can share his notes. Here are my notes from doing the source install using debian squeeze. http://pastebin.com/raZNQVS0 They are nasty, but they might be useful to someone. At the end, I was able to open...

After hacking around a bit more I found out a few more things. 1. you can make a debian pacakge out of the baruwa-2.0.tar.bz2 no problem with dpkg-buildpacakge. It requires packages that are in debian wheezy/sid or possibly also or instead from baruwa enterprise. not sure. 2. The baruwa 2.0 web inst...

Since this is related to efa-project I figured I'd post how far I got with this. I haven't seen any install instructions for baruwa 2.0 anywhere on google yet. :( Here are some debian squeeze steps. I compared the baruwa requirements to packages and got most of them nailed down: apt-get install pyth...

2.0 is released See: http://www.baruwa.org/blog/2012/08/06/b ... -released/

They are also running it in production. See: http://lists.baruwa.org/pipermail/baruw ... 02476.html

considering this is a new project, seems it would make sense to have it utilize the current version of baruwa, no?

Whoops. My mistake. I'm so used to purging packages and I forgot you can "remove" packages.

This should be done the "debian" way I think. These files should be the same. The main file should be in available, and a link to that file should be in enabled. There is a command in debian a2ensite to manage these. root@mailsort:/etc/apache2# diff sites-available/baruwa sites-enabled/baruwa 12d11 ...

why is exim4 AND postfix installed? is that supposed to be happening? it looks like exim can be removed, no?

also, you can remove popularity-contest from the next release

So in ESVA, it would email someone with a link to release the spam message each time a spam email was sent to them that was caught by ESVA. How does it work in EFA/Baruwa? So far from my testing and poking around, the user has no way of knowing they received spam unless they login to the web interfa...
