Couldn't start Yahoo! Zimbra Desktop server, giving up

Launching zdesktop with the following gives:

~/zimbra/zdesktop$ ./zdesktop start
Starting zdesktop
nohup: appending output to `nohup.out'

Here is my zdesktop.out inside ~/zimbra/zdesktop/log/ :

My Java Version:

java -version
java version "1.6.0_06"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_06-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 10.0-b22, mixed mode)

I did notice that java.net.BindException: Address already in use, I have apache installed. I would appreciate some help to get this running... Thanks!

Anyone? I can run Eclipse, JEdit, just fine... I just wanted to give this Zimbra thing a try...

[jjzhuang]

many people on ubuntu ran into this due to port conflict on 7634. please make sure that port is unoccupied before installing zdesktop.

this issue has been addressed and it will no longer need port 7634 in the next cut.

Have you created a desktop icon for Zimbra Desktop? In most cases, you don't start zdesktop (which is a local backend server, not gui app) from command line.

You should double-click on the desktop icon, which runs prism, to bring up Zimbra Desktop. The GUI app also starts backend server automatically, if it's not already running.

I had this problem and found that the jetty.xml was referencing localhost, sounds fine, but then noticed that I couldn't ping localhost.

For some reason there was no /etc/hosts entry for localhost, added it and it's now working fine.

Haybe my 7634 is in use, but I am not sure which service uses port 7634. Anyways I have decided to use Prism with SugarCRM and it has been ok so far.

I will try the next release of Zimbra when the issue has been resolved.
