Are the UID/GIDs of the Zimbra user the same ? Did you perform a dummy install of ZCS, then remove /opt/zimbra, and then copy you existing installation across ? Ensure the permissions on /opt/zimbra are correct, and it would not harm to run /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmfixperms as root aswell. Have you read this Moving ZCS to New Server - Zimbra :: Wiki ?

Thanks for the prompt reply,

But here, hostname are different but zmhostname are same

what to do in that case.

Why not change the hostname to the old server then ? Will you new server need to take over the originals IP address aswell ?

Please review the wiki article link I posted. One point in it states

On new server, install the same version of ZCS and Keep the "hostname" and "zmhostname" same as old server.

Hi,

Ipaddress of new server is different, but i need to keep hostname of the server different and do migration.

I had try that but after starting zimbra, tomcat service is not running

How we can do that ?????

Any method,

You need to ensure that DNS is all working fine aswell with respect to MX/A records.
