[SOLVED] cannot restart mailboxd properly

[hocky]

i have a single server setup

to test something, i have removed the checkbox beside "mailbox" in the services page of the AdminConsole

i know have trouble restarting the mailbox process
try 1: 'zmmailboxdctl start' says it starts the process but i don't see it in 'zmcontrol status'
try 2: 'zmcontrol stop / start' does not seem to start the mailbox process and results in :
antivirus Running
convertd Running
imapproxy Running
ldap Running
logger Running
mta Running
spell Running
stats Stopped

i cannot connect to the adminconsole nor to an account eventhough zmmailboxdctl says that it is running

I think i have to somehow restore a parameter saying that mailbox should start automatically somewhere but i don't know where/how ?!

[hocky]

anyone can help ?

Why did you uncheck the 'Mailbox' setting? Why are you running the proxy on a single server (hint: you shouldn't be)?

What does the output of the following show:

zmprov gs `zmhostname` | grep mailbox

[hocky]

this is a test system that's why all the functions are on the same box for now

i wanted to check what happened should the store fail and i thought this checkbox was doing the same as "zmmailboxdctl start/stop" which it clearly does not...

the result of the
zmprov gs `zmhostname`|grep mailbox
command is :
zimbraServiceInstalled: mailbox


thanks for your help

You do not install the proxy on a single server install, it will cause you problems.

the result of the
zmprov gs `zmhostname`|grep mailbox
command is :
zimbraServiceInstalled: mailbox

To enable the service do the following:

zmprov ms `zmhostname` zimbraServiceEnabled TRUE

To get rid of the proxy run the following commands to check if the proxy is installed/running:

zmproxyctl status
zmprov gs server.domain.com | grep zimbraServiceEnabled
zmprov gs server.domain.com | grep zimbraServiceInstalled

If it's in, then run this:

zmproxyctl stop
zmprov ms `zmserverhostname` -zimbraServiceEnabled imapproxy
zmcontrol stop
zmcontrol start

To reset the ports run the following (on one line):

zmprov -l ms server.domain.com zimbraPop3BindPort 110 zimbraPop3SSLBindPort 995 zimbraPop3ProxyBindPort 7110 zimbraPop3SSLProxyBindPort 7995 zimbraImapBindPort 143 zimbraImapSSLBindPort 993 zimbraImapProxyBindPort 7143 zimbraImapSSLProxyBindPort 7993

then restart

[hocky]

I did as you suggest :

zmprov ms `zmhostname` zimbraServiceEnabled TRUE

and then

zmcontrol status

says:

        TRUE                    Stopped

i guess there was something missing in the ms command ?!

There certainly was, it should have been the following:

zmprov ms `zmhostname` zimbraServiceEnabled mailbox

[hocky]

it is better now, when i run
zmcontrol stop
zmcontrol start
i get

        Starting ldap...Done.
        Starting mailbox...Done.

i know now how to re-enable the missing services


a big thanks to you

Glad you've fixed it.
