Default Unable to start tomcat
Hi,

I have looked around the forum and tried some methods shown there but the problem cannot be solved.

I have an oldbox with zcs-3.1.0_GA_332.FC4. I tried to move it to another box. I did install zcs-3.1.0_GA_332 on the newbox first and then extract the tarball of the zimbra dir from oldbox. After starting the service, it showed

[zimbra@mailsrv ~]$ zmcontrol status
Host mydomain
ldap Running
logger Running
mailbox Stopped
tomcat is not running
mta Running
snmp Running
spell Running

Here is the log of catalina.out

HI Thomas,
Try this:
>su zimbra
>zmcontrol stop
>chown zimbra:zimbra /opt/zimbra/log/zimbra.log
>zmcontrol start

Let's see what that does. . .

I put together a wiki article on the wiki on how to backup and restore zimbra.

I would strongly reccommend you follow it's procedures.

http://wiki.zimbra.com/index.php?tit...up_Procedu re

Follow that, it'll work.

OK, i have many several problems like this, this is how i do it, it seems like the script that starts tomcat (as zimbra user) have several problem taking ownership of port 80. What i usually do is installing Zimbra and configure it yo use some other port over the 1024. Please run zmsetup.pl and use something different.. like 8080 por http and 8443 for https and it will work beautifull. Then follow the guide on how to upgrade.

Still want tomcat on port 80, use iptables to redirect traffic from 80 to 8080.

best regards

Vic

Hi,

Thank you for your idea. But it seems there are too many customized operations for each upgrade if doing so.

HI,
Sorry to here that.

This is soo odd. I have the same exact build, so I don't think it's a build problem.

The backup your restored from, is it the backup that had the problem, or prior?

In the older version, I did not encountered any problem for restoring the zimbra.

This time I am using zcs-3.1.0_GA_332.FC4. I plan to migrate it to the newbox, if successfullly, and do an upgrate to zcs-3.1.1_GA_394.FC4.

Seems the problem is rarely happened. May I describe the backup and restore procedures that I normally performed.

I stopped the zimbra serivce and killed all the zimbra process and slapd there was any.

Tar the whole zimbra directory and put it to the newbox.

Install zcs-3.1.0_GA_332.FC4 on the newbox. Stop all zimbra services.

Rename zimbra directory. Extract the tarball to zimbra. Start the zimbra services and tomcat failed.

What's wrong with my operations?

Rgds,
Thomas

Okay, try this:

Keep your backup in a safe place.
Make sure nothing is running.
Uninstall zimbra from your new box (./install.sh -u)
Delete the /opt/zimbra dir
reboot
untar the zimbra file to /opt/zimbra
Install the EXACT version you used to have (the one in the tar)
Then upgrade.

Good luck, and I'll be here.
