mutli-serverzcs 5.0 RC1 network install hangs at Setting up CA

[morgan]

I'm doing a clean install in our RHEL4 freshly kickstarted dev environment
1 ldap master
1 mta
2 stores

The ldap master installs fine. I only installed zimbra-ldap

I got to the first store, select packages as follows:
Select the packages to install
Install zimbra-ldap [Y]
Install zimbra-logger [Y]
Install zimbra-mta [Y] n
Install zimbra-snmp [Y] n
Install zimbra-store [Y]
Install zimbra-spell [Y]
Install zimbra-proxy [N] y



Once I set ldap master, admin pass, smtp host, license filename and ldap pass chose apply:
*** CONFIGURATION COMPLETE - press 'a' to apply
Select from menu, or press 'a' to apply config (? - help) a

It hans here indefinitely.


Additional hints:
at the bottom of /tmp/zmsetup.log.:

If I follow the ps tree from install.sh I find this running:
/opt/zimbra/java/bin/java -client -Xmx256m -Dzimbra.home=/opt/zimbra -Djava.library.path=/opt/zimbra/lib -Djava.ext.dirs=/opt/zimbra/java/jre/lib/ext:/opt/zimbra/lib/jars:/opt/zimbra/lib/ext:/opt/zimbra/lib/ext/backup:/opt/zimbra/lib/ext/clamscanner:/opt/zimbra/lib/ext/network:/opt/zimbra/lib/ext/zimbra-license:/opt/zimbra/lib/ext/zimbrahsm:/opt/zimbra/lib/ext/zimbrasync com.zimbra.cs.account.ProvUtil -l -- gacf zimbraCertAuthorityKeySelfSigned

If I run a zmprov gacf it hangs. An strace doesn't provide any clear clues.

Any ideas?

thanks

After much testing by us and Zimbra support the problem turned out to be the Version of Linux.

Final result: we were able to install multi server with RC2 + RHEL4 Update 4.

We were on Update 6. Apparently Zimbra is testing on Update 5.

Any more details on what packages are the problem? I've got ZCS 4.5.10 on RHEL 4 Update 6.

[morgan]

Rich,

We didn't identify individual packages, we are only using Zimbra 5.0 RC2 in development. We re-kickstarted our our hosts down to RHEL 4 update 4 and re-install.

Feel free to contact me on or off forum for more details.

A report has been filed to track this issue.
Bug 23237 - ZCS 5.0 doesn't install on RHEL4_64bit update 6 multi node

Morgan, it would be a great help if you could append a list of your installed RPM's to the bug.

[brian]

Morgan, can you confirm your install was RHEL4 32 or RHEL4 64bit Update 6?

[morgan]

do you want the current list (update 4)? Or the list in Update 6?

[morgan]

Brian,

We're on RHEL4 update 4 64 bit:

$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 4)
$ uname -a
Linux host.domain.org 2.6.9-42.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed Jul 12 23:32:02 EDT 2006 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
$

[brian]

do you want the current list (update 4)? Or the list in Update 6?

We'll need the list from Update 6.

[morgan]

We'll need the list from Update 6.

I've uploaded the list.
