zmmailboxdctl is not running.

[Mad Professor]

I look in the logs, and get this.

It repeats dozen of times in the log.

I can't get zmmailboxdctl to start, I did a reinstall of zimbra and a upgrade to 6.06 and it didn't fix it.

So what broke?

Any errors in /opt/zimbra/log/mailbox.log ?

As it says stale pid already exist. just shutdown the mailbox service and empty the zmmailboxd_manager.pid$ file and restart. Service should start.
