Okay, try this:

Keep your backup in a safe place.
Make sure nothing is running.
Uninstall zimbra from your new box (./install.sh -u)
Delete the /opt/zimbra dir
reboot
untar the zimbra file to /opt/zimbra
Install the EXACT version you used to have (the one in the tar)
Then upgrade.

Good luck, and I'll be here.

Seems the problem is rarely happened. May I describe the backup and restore procedures that I normally performed.

I stopped the zimbra serivce and killed all the zimbra process and slapd there was any.

Tar the whole zimbra directory and put it to the newbox.

Install zcs-3.1.0_GA_332.FC4 on the newbox. Stop all zimbra services.

Rename zimbra directory. Extract the tarball to zimbra. Start the zimbra services and tomcat failed.

What's wrong with my operations?

Rgds,
Thomas
