upgrading after failed upgrade help?

[nfear24]

I installed zcs beta 6 on my 5.0.14 installation and it caused too many problems during install. So I restored from my backup and for some reason when I try to upgrade to 5.0.16 it says Downgrading to version 5.0.16 from 6.0.0 is not supported. What the heck did I do? haha

Thanks Nick

What, exactly, did you do to restore from your backup? Your backup should have contained the complete contents of the /opt/zimbra directory, did it?

Its a testing server so not critical. But I did my normal restore. Removed the old /opt/zimbra directory and moved in my backup. Then I get this when I am running 5.0.14 and trying to upgrade to 5.0.16. Even if I dont have /opt/zimbra anymore and just try to install 5.0.14 I still get that:

Where is it getting this information from even if there isn't a /opt/zimbra directory?

If this is a test server then what you need to do is the following:

1. Remove the current ZCS 6 with ./install.sh -u - that will remove everything.

2. Next, run the installer (using the same version of Zimbra as your backup) with the -s option: ./install.sh -s

3. Remove the newly created directory: rm -rf /opt/zimbra

4. Restore your backed-up directory

5. As root run the /opt/zimbra/libexeczmfixperms utility

6. When that's done run the installer again: ./install.sh

That should get you back to a working system of your previous version.

It gets the package information from your package database.
