[SOLVED] Moving Zimbra to a new server

[uxbod]

From within that directory

ls -ld .

[krolen]

$ ls -ld .
drwxr-xr-x 10 zimbra zimbra 4096 2009-02-05 08:55 .
$

[uxbod]

can you even create a file under the directory

touch testfile

[krolen]

$ touch testfile
touch: cannot touch `testfile': Permission denied
$

[uxbod]

Missing something really simple here so lets go from the top

ls -ld /opt
ls -ld /opt/zimbra
ls -ld /opt/zimbra/conf

and check the full chain of permissions.

this is also interesting

[uxbod]

chmod 775 /opt/zimbra/conf

and see if you can cat that file. Permissions look okay though! I am getting to the point where I feel it would be wise to perform a fsck on that filesystem.

[krolen]

do you think the postfix group id is wrong some how?

in passwd

postfix:x:1003:1002::/opt/zimbra/postfix:/bin/sh

as postfix user
$ id
uid=1003(postfix) gid=1002(zimbra) groups=1002(zimbra)

/etc/groups

zimbra:x:1002:
postfix:x:1003:zimbra
postdrop:x:1004:

Many thanks Again
