Upgrade from "Zimbra 6.0.14 Debian 4 32Bit" to "Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS 64Bit"

[erickdel.santos]

Hi all, I have Zimbra 6.0.14 installed on a Debian 4 32 Bits and I need to move this instalation to a Ubuntu 10.04 Server 64Bits and I don't know how to.

I've tried to copy the opt/zimbra directory to the new server and then install Zimbra 6.0.14 64Bits Ubuntu 10.04 version but it didn't work.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance

That's not surprising, you can't directly copy a 32bit version to a 64bit server. You'll need to follow the wiki (link to the wiki at the top of this page) article on moving from a 32bit to 64bit server - it's a Network Edition article and it works for the OSS version as well, just ignore the NE steps. Search the wiki or the forums for the article.

Hi Erick,

I've done many migrations like this and alfter many "headaches" I have found ZxMig.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the answers, the ZxMig tool didn't work for me, the restore procedure returned errors (tried twice)...

So, i went through the Zimbra Wiki suggestion and at the end of the steps, the mailbox service wasn't starting... Checking the logs I found that the problem was related to the certificate... so, as root, I removed the certificate with

rm /opt/zimbra/mailboxd/etc/keystore

and recreated with

/opt/zimbra/bin/zmcertmgr deploycrt self

after that, I had permission problems when trying to do anything through any logged in zimbra user. To solve this, as root, I ran:

chown -R zimbra:zimbra /opt/zimbra/*
/opt/zimbra/libexec/zmfixperms

And finally... everything is working fine!
Thanks for your attention.
