zmmailbox (invoke Connection refused)

[troy]

I wanted to play with zmmailbox but it blew up on me:

[zimbra@avocado ~]$ zmmailbox -z -m troy@avocado.cs.athabascau.ca getAllFolders

any thoughts?

Is the firewall and SELinux disabled? How much memory on this server?

[troy]

SELinux was disabled on install and the firewall is off. I only have 2GB of RAM.

[09:37 root@avocado ~] # dmesg | grep SELinux
SELinux:  Initializing.
SELinux:  Starting in permissive mode
SELinux:  Registering netfilter hooks
SELinux:  Disabled at runtime.
SELinux:  Unregistering netfilter hooks
[09:37 root@avocado ~] # grep "^SELINUX=" /etc/selinux/config
SELINUX=disabled
[09:37 root@avocado ~] # service iptables status
Firewall is stopped.
[09:37 root@avocado ~] # dmesg | grep Memory

To troubleshoot this further for myself, I think the correct question is "what connection is refused?". I am not sure how to answer that.

Any ideas?

It's the connection from zmmailbox to tomcat. This is a mailbox node? What do you see if you run zmmailbox with the "--debug" option?

[troy]

The fix turned out to be properly setting the zimbraAdminPort; I dunno what happened to that in the first place.

[16:39 root@avocado ~] # su - zimbra
[zimbra@avocado ~]$ zmprov gs `zmhostname` | grep zimbraAdminPort
zimbraAdminPort: 7443
[zimbra@avocado ~]$ zmprov ms `zmhostname` zimbraAdminPort 7071
[zimbra@avocado ~]$ zmprov gs `zmhostname` | grep zimbraAdminPort
zimbraAdminPort: 7071
[zimbra@avocado ~]$
