I'm installing Carbonio CE 25.6.0 on a fresh Ubuntu 24.04 VM and I have followed the Manual Installation steps to the letter (the official documentation).
I have also exhaustively searched google and this forum, and cannot find a solution to where I'm getting stuck.
At the step of "pending-setups-a" for : removed link
I get the error eventually of:
"Config entry written: service-defaults/carbonio-message-dispatcher-auth
Config entry written: service-intentions/carbonio-message-dispatcher-auth
Config entry written: service-defaults/carbonio-message-dispatcher-http
Config entry written: service-intentions/carbonio-message-dispatcher-http
Config entry written: service-defaults/carbonio-message-dispatcher-xmpp
Config entry written: service-intentions/carbonio-message-dispatcher-xmpp
Carbonio Message Dispatcher database password not found.
Please install carbonio-message-dispatcher-db and run carbonio-message-dispatcher-db-bootstrap command.
Script for Message Dispatcher terminated with error
Setup script failed, keeping it
"
I cannot find any reliable resource on why this is failing, or what to do about it.
Clearly the error is human legible, about the database password not being found, so to me this seems like some sort of provisioning script that I've already executed missed this component. I have a hunch I need some dev involvement here for a proper solution.
I've wiped and rebuilt this VM multiple times now retrying the documentation I think like 3 times, same result. So the issue does not appear to be related to documentation.
Really need help here please.
Hi there, I wonder why you did not use the installation script provided.
Of importance, I think, is the preliminary steps:
https://docs.zextras.com/carbonio-ce/html/install/preliminary.html
And the script:
https://docs.zextras.com/carbonio-ce/html/install/scenarios/single-server-scenario.html
Sorry I am not much else of help.

1. Because the manual steps are documented and I wanted as much control over how the system was being set up as possible. Why have them documented if they're not "okay" to follow?
2. I followed all the preliminary steps already. I outlined that I "followed the Manual Installation steps to the letter (the official documentation)" in the first line of my post.
3. I really was hoping to have specific feedback on where I could have missed something, instead of just being told to run the script, and read the documentation again, without being specific.
I appreciate you taking the time to chime in, but this doesn't tell me why it "broke" at the step it did.
Help in this forum is not instant and it takes sometime days to week(s) for an answer. It is what it is. I use Zimbra as my main email server.
Have installed Carbonio CE a few times using the script when I first started and it did not go well and wasted 2-3 days. I was very frustrated. It actually was the Fan made script, can be found on the forum as well.
You could also join Anahuac @ Telegram - can also be found doing a search. He also has a script for installation.
Well, it is up to you. A script installation might be the short answer.

I would rather work on solutions on the public form so that search engines can index the content, and it can help other people. That and I really don't want to install yet another chat app for a single purpose and make yet another account for said thing. Help will come whenever it does, and come what may.
Alright, not to worry. Have you tried again to install Carbonio CE?
