I got some extra time to monkey with the botched-upgrade system. Upon rebooting, it locks when starting Zimbra, so I had to ctrl-break a few dozen times even to log in.
Once in, I reran ./install.sh from the same 3.13 files that caused the problem, and it appears to have now upgraded successfully.
I then tried this double upgrade on the production system and after the same explosion/ctrl-break process now have production running on 3.13.
I still have a 2nd copy of this running if there's files you'd like to poke at.
What I've learned?
1. My image backups work great
2. Always Always Always image my system prior to upgrading |
