Migrate 6.0.6 32-bits to 64-bits

[jmpater]

Hello,

I'am trying to migrate our server to a 64-bits host with the following guide Network Edition: Moving from 32-bit to 64-bit Server - Zimbra :: Wiki

My problem is that I could not backup the LDAP config database. I obtain the following error message when I use the command line /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmslapcat -c /backup as zimbra

Error message :
mkdir: invalid option -- c
Try `mkdir --help' for more information
-c/ldap.bak.2011....: No such file or directory
cp: invalid option -- /
Try `cp --help' for more information

Could you help ?

Best Regards,

You're obviously not following the documentation correctly, this procedure works and has been successfully used by many people. What is the exact command you entered that gave that error?

Hello Bill,

Please find the command lines bellow

It works for me, are you actually using a bash shell?

[jmpater]

Yes it is a bash shell.

I will try to first upgrade to the last version of Zimbra.

Do you know about the zextras suite ? Is it a reliable product ?

Glad that worked for you, I can only assume there was a problem with your version of Zimbra although I can't remember there being one.
