[SOLVED] Can't start Zimbra...

[Wookietim]

Last night I installed Zimbra and rather liked it. It ran well and work greet as an email client. Today, I tried starting it (no changes other than I deleted the install file I downloaded) and it won't run. It says "The connection was refused when attempting to contact localhost:7633".

I am running Ubuntu 8.04, if that makes any difference...

Welcome to the forums,

Probably just need to start the service:

./zimbra/zdesktop/linux/prism/prism -webapp /home/USER/zimbra/zdesktop/./zdesktop.webapp -profile /home/USER/zimbra/zdesktop/./profile

Just seen your thread here, for me, also on Hardy, the install created the link on the desktop. What it didnt do was setup a start at boot/logon for the underlying local server instance, I cheated and added it in the session startup later: /home/USER/zimbra/zdesktop/zdesktop start

On Linux by default it's installed under ~/zimbra/zdesktop. Run the following at the command line:

./zdesktop start

I then typed ./zdesktop start

Before this i used to open a console, type ...path../zdesktop start, open Firefox and, finally, enter the URL, meanwhile my brother just click the icon on his MacBook.

Now, i just click the icon too!!!

The attachment has to files: zdesktop_linuxstart and zimbra.desktop

You have to place zdesktop_linuxstart in your path, like /usr/local/bin and edit only one line:

###### Edit Only This ##################
# Directory Where ZDesktop is installed
ZD_HOME=/home/pbruna/bin/zimbra/zdesktop

and the second file, zimbra.desktop, place in your Desktop folder at you home and edit only the line where defines the icon path:

#EDIT ME -- REPLACE WITH THE DIRECTORY WHERE ZDESKTOP IS, THE SAME AS ZD_HOME
Icon=/home/pbruna/bin/zimbra/zdesktop/launcher_32x32.xpm

That is. I hope some one find this useful too.

bye

PD: By the way, you need to have Zdesktop already installed

3.) Created a script called "ZimbraDesktop.sh" with the following contents"

#!/bin/sh
/home/alan/zimbra/zdesktop/zdesktop start

exit 0

4.) chmod the script with 755 permissions to make is executeable ('chmod 755 ZimbraDesktop.sh')

I have not had any problems since. If you are running Ubuntu with the Gnome desktop, I believe you can autostart programs from the GUI using a session manager in the Sytem menu, but I am not sure of the exact steps to do that.

I hope this helps.

I have the same problem (when I restart my PC I can't start zimbra it says "The connection was refused when attempting to contact localhost:7633", but I have windows XP SP2. How can I restart zimbra in this case.

Goto start->run, type services.msc, and scroll down to the Zimbra desktop. Right click and then restart.

Tank you nabeel, I'll try this solution.

No prob. It's actually called "Yahoo! Zimbra Desktop Service"

[leandro]

Same problem today. When I start my PC it gives an error saying that can't connect with zimbra server.
Click on Start->Run->services.msc->restart Yahoo! Zimbra Desktop Service
And this gives me an error saying that Zimbra Desktop Service cannot restart in the local machine-Error 1: incorrect function.
Any idea to solve this?
Thanks.
