Installed CENTOS. Made sure that my hosts file was the same as the old setup and the IP address was the same. Installed the CENTOS version (well the RHEL installer) of 4.02 as a fresh install.
Shut down Zimbra again and restored my backup of /opt/zimbra.
Ran the RHEL installer again but chose upgrade this time. It detected that the db in /opt/zimbra was using an old schema and upgraded it (wasn't just an OS change for us but also a version change). It probably upgraded a lot of other things as well.
At the end it started up and is working nicely. |
cheers!
we're planning on moving from debian to RHEL4/64 soon. glad that it's as easy as this.
thanks for this information!
