how to export mailbox when zmmailboxdctl is down

[yoom@hostwebase.com]

Greetings everyone,

I need help on how to export user mailbox and their address book when
the ZMMAILBOXDCTL is not running.

I am using this command to export

/opt/zimbra/bin/zmmailbox -z -m user@domain.com getRestURL “//?fmt=tgz” > /tmp/account.tgz

and because the zmmailboxdctl is not running it give me this error:

ERROR: zclient.IO_ERROR (invoke connection refusedd, server: localhost) (cause: java.net.ConnectException Connection refused).


Why is the zmmailboxdctl is not running? I was enable the pop server via the GUI and after restart it the zmmailboxdctl will no longer able to start up. It is a long story, I could not find any help to fix it so I build another zimbra server
on another machine. Now, I am trying to figure out how to move everything over. Old server was running on 5.x and Linux RH 4.X

Any help will be appreciate.

you can restart it by this command:
zmmailboxdctl restart

I did try zmmailboxdctl and it wouldn't start. I have the same problem a year ago or
so. I couldn't figure out so I just rebuild a new server. I also had tried to
disable the POP3 that I was enable and the zmmailboxdctl still would not
restart

zmprov -l gs mail.server.com -zimbraPop3ServerEnabled.

I don't want to deal with it anymore unless inorder to export the user mailbox the zmmailboxdctl need to be up and running.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Y

It would help if you posted some details from the log files on why zmmailboxd isn't starting. This thread is remarkably light on any details that would help you fix the problem. Which version of Zimbra are you currently using?

I am looking for some help on how to export users mail box off an old server
into a new server when the zmmailboxdctl is down on an old server.

My Zimbra run on Redhat, version 5.0.1_GA1902

Any ideas?


I am assume most everything store under Mysql database tables, can I do an exclusion dump of the mysql to get what
I need?

Thank you.

Data for users is stored in MySQL, LDAP, and the postfix store, and possibly elsewhere. You can either attempt to find all the parts to a user's data that you need to transfer the user's information to a new server, or you can fix the problem causing the mailbox service to shut down.

Here is the background on why the zmmailboxctl service was down.
I was enable ProxyServer for imap and pop3 via the GUI administrator.
After the services was enable, pop3 and imap was working fine.
However, when I run the zmcontrol stop and zmcontrol start the zmmailboxctl
will not run any more. I searched and found a few documents on how to undo
it but the zmmailboxctl will not run after that.

This is one of the command and many others that I had tried.
zmprov -l ms `zimbrahostname` -zimbraServiceEnabled imapproxy

Here is the log file:

How can I modify this IP address bindaddr=209.255.8.132 entry? or get rid of this option completely?
What is the syntax to modify this?

This is the NAT external IP address that is why it not able to bind to anything because a NAT IP address
that use by the Firewall. Mail server using an internal IP address of 192.168.0.132

Thank you.

It should only be trying to bind to that address if one of the network cards is setup for that address, or possibly if you have a messed up /etc/hosts file.

What does the output of the following commands look like?

cat /etc/hosts
host `hostname`  <-- use that exact command with backticks not single quotes
