[SOLVED] zmconfigd is not running.

[tw1nh3ad]

I took a look at log file on my production server running 7.1.0_GA_3140.UBUNTU8 UBUNTU8 FOSS edition and this is normal log activity for this software release. It makes sense to assume that the output you see in the log file for the 7.1.1 release is the proper log output as it should not differ that much from the 7.1.0 release.

I will try to install netcat on my test / dev server running 7.1.1 and see if it makes difference. I will report my findings here in a bit.

Cheers

lsikstrom, Thanks for that info!

I've experienced the same problem after upgrading from 7.1.0 to 7.1.1. Make sure you have netcat (/usr/bin/nc) installed on your zimbra server as the modified /opt/zimbra/bin/zmconfigdctl of the 7.1.1 release relies on that to determine wether zmconfigd is running or not.

Also make sure that which (/usr/bin/which) is installed too. I had netcat installed, but not which and had similar problem with zmcontrold after upgrading to 7.1.1 .

Thanks jackcornelius and lsikstrom for solving this.

I just did a fresh install of NE 7.1.2 on CentOS6 x_64 and found I did not have zmconfigd running. A quick check here found your solution. I can't imagine how you figured that out, but it worked for me.

nc.x86_64 needed to be installed. (yum install nc.x86_64)
'zmcontrol restart' and everything is fine.

I think we need to file a bug on this

i guess he gave a look to zmconfigdctl that contains:

NC=`which nc 2>/dev/null`; NC=${NC:-`which netcat 2>/dev/null`}

Thanks maumar.
Filed a bug report that the installer should check existence of nc on installation an warn user.

the issue arose by the fact that many of us who installed CentOS 6 used minimal cd,

CentOS-6.0-x86_64-minimal.iso

and netcat is not included in it

I have the same issue and installing netcat resolved the problem ! THX

If you used the current ZCS 7.1.3 you should have seen a requirement to install netcat, didn't you see that or are you installing some other release of ZCS?
