zimbra is not starting after a wacky upgrade/downgrade

[keanne]

Hi,
Ok, I have done some several bad things things.
First, I have upgraded from 3.1.4 to 4.0.0 GA, the first thing that i noticed was an error regarding document initialization. I did not mind it first, I first recreate my certificates because i noticed it was already expired. The upgrade is somewhat ok, the only thing that is not working is the document feature.
I dont know what came into me, I downgrade from 4.0.0 to 3.1.4, and normally, it said cant upgrade to 3.1.4, so I install 4.0.0 again, it seems ok, it finished, but zimbra is not starting anymore, it just stalls.
I dont see anything in the logs that can give me any hint:

startup.log only shows:
Starting ldap...Done.

and that's it.

Is there anything that i can do to at least recover the messages?
Zimbra version used is is opensourced version.


TIA,
Keanne

[jholder]

I suppose the first question we all here in zimworld will have for you is:
Do you have a backup???

This forum is littered with the scattered skeletons of those who didn't have a backup.

[marcmac]

zmmtaconfig isn't rewriting the config files properly, for whatever reason.

[keanne]

darn... first of all, yes i dont have a backup.
is it possible for me to install a zimbra on a different machine,
create the accounts to that machine and just copy or sync the messages
from the non working zimbra box to a new zimbra box?



TIA,
Keanne
