Okay, so now everything has been copied and you have run zmfixperms have you tried started ZCS or am I missing something ?

[krolen]

i had assumed that the fixperms had done its job. i ran the installer

i noticed that durning the installation i got

Setting up CA...sh: openssl: not found

i have now installed openssl

i got Configuration complete - press return to exit


when starting zimbra i got

zimbra@email:~$ zmcontrol start
Host email.wernethschool.com
Starting logger...Done.
Starting mailbox...Done.
Starting antispam...Done.
Starting snmp...Done.
Starting spell...Done.

zimbra@email:~$


Many thanks

Sounds like the previous install is still running due to the openssl error. I would stop ZCS and check for any old zimbra processes running. Run the dummy install again, clean it up, copy across /opt/zimbra again, and then run the zmfixperms.

[krolen]

many thanks i will give it a try -)

[krolen]

during the dummy install i now get the following

###ERROR###

zimbra-apache_5.0.12_GA_2789.UBUNTU8_i386.deb installation failed

[uxbod]

Check /tmp for the install and setup logs ... see why it failed to install the package. If you are starting over you may have to remove them first.

i was winging about a simlink it could not create. i removed the zimbra directory and re-ran the dummy installation all went well. now its re-rsyncing the data back.. l will post again when i re-run the fixperms script.

thanks again for all your help. we are really greatfull

[krolen]

ok so the data went back across no problem.


root@email:/opt/zimbra# /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmfixperms
root@email:/opt/zimbra#

same as before. nothing.. it did think for about 20 secconds before it came back to the input line

any ideas?

thanks again

okay, so first thing make sure no old zimbra processes are running. Then fire it up and see what happens
