Problems after changing domain with zmsetservername

[jcuzella]

Hello,

I have followed the instructions here to change the hostname of a server, but am running into problems after running 'zmcontrol restart'. It looks like some services are not starting correctly, and I cannot access the webmail or admin (port 7071) interfaces.

Here is the output of 'zmcontrol restart'

Please paste the relevant log on /opt/zimbra/log/mailbox.log. It seems that your LDAP has an incorrect settings.

Invalid credentials means something wrong with your LDAP user name & password. Did you modify LDAP settings in addition Zimbra hostname?

you changed hostname. so you will need to tell other server the new hostname or IP.

Perhaps I should reveal that there is more going on here than just a changed domain. This is a second zimbra server instance (server B) that is freshly installed and being restored with snapshot backups from another (server A). Both are single server installs of the Open Source edition.

To be most clear... My goal is to restore Server A onto a new install on Server B with these constraints:

• Backups from Server A must be small
• Hostname of Server B must be different
• LDAP password of Server B must be different

When the new instance (server B) is being installed, it is configured with a new hostname, and new LDAP password (I can't set the same password for both for security reasons). Afterwards, I restore the snapshot backup from server A on top of this, then run zmsetservername to ensure the old config files are changed back.

So to answer the question, yes... the LDAP password for the second instance ends up being different perhaps than what is stored in the post-restored server state.

Here's the mailbox.log: Zimbra mailbox.log - Pastebin.com

Hmm... after considering the wiki, it looks like the way I've been trying to backup & restore is not the right way.

I'll try some of the other open source edition backup scripts and start a new thread in case I have problems ;-)
