Perl_Tstack_sp_ptr

[mlcdigital]

I migrated our school FirstClass server over to an opensource Zimbra 5/Debian 4 running on VMware Server 2.2 (right before Zimbra 6/Debian 5 was released). After a while I've noticed some kernel-2.18 crashes that start flooding the CPU so I've been trying procedures after procedure to migrate to Zimbra 6/Debian 5.
Non of them successfully get me to Zimbra 6 on Debian 5 so I don't have to worry about kernel crashes any more. I am able to get to Zimbra 6 on Debian 4 but from there I run into this perl_tstack_sp_ptr UUID.so error everyone is dealing with.
In theory...couldn't you just rsync /usr/lib/perl... (distro version of perl) to /opt/zimbra/zimbramon/lib/...

Cafuego's solution worked almost right away for me in Lenny, just as presented in his/her first post. The first time it didn't work was my own fault for not reading through - remember to add an etch repo on your sources.list file.

Thanks Cafuego, u rock, m8!

(How difficult is this to understand, mr. Dijichi2?)

OMG!
I've been smashing my head against the table for the past month because I missed read the directions and neglected to keep Etch distro in the apt source list and force install the old perl...?
I can't wait to get home and test it on my sandbox and if it works I owe you people a drink, Jiménez and Cafuego

Hours later...
I added the Etch source list to apt

This got me past verifying the DB...

This is what my sources list looks like:

# deb http://ftp.dk.debian.org/debian/ lenny main

deb http://ftp.dk.debian.org/debian/ etch main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.dk.debian.org/debian/ etch etch main contrib non-free

deb http://ftp.dk.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.dk.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main

deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main
deb-src http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main

I don't know if the non-free option makes the difference, but for security, I think you best stay with Lenny's

I had problems resuming the install after updating apt, since the install script would remember it had run once, and refused to run again giving me the same old error. I looked into this script, and noticed that towards the bottom, a perl script (/opt/zimbra/libexec/zmsetup.pl) was run to setup some preferences to the installation before it started the server. I ran it manually, and my problems were solved.

I have apparently a very selective memory, and I'm amazed about how little I remember of this already! Anyways, I hope I managed to come with a hint you can use to make it work for you. Good luck

I've found a process that has worked...
On the Debian4-Zimbra5 VM

apt-get install linux-image-2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-686

After a week IO seemed to have locked up on the VM without any bugs in the logs but the VMware Server was still functioning. I did a little digging and found the solution to the VM freezing.

As I previously posted. I am able to install a clean Debian5-Zimbra6 that runs smooth.
Platform Specific - Zimbra :: Wiki
On the clean Debain5-Zimbra6 I created an account with the same username as the Debain4-Zimbra5 system.
Then, on the Debian4-Zimbra5, I exported said account through the user interface.
On the Debian5-Zimbra6 box I imported through the user interface and all the data moved over cleanly (with the exception of the chat folder I believe).
Now I'm burning Debian5-Zimbra6 in to see if IO issues happen as well.
