centos4 upgrade to 5.0 errors

[reckless2k2]

centos follows the RHEL path so i thought an upgrade from 4.5.10 to 5.0 would be fine but it fails at this point:

Updating from 5.0.0_RC3
5 is only avaliable with the XS version at /opt/zimbra/zimbramon/lib/IO/Socket/SSL.pm line 30
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /opt/zimbra/zimbramon/lib/IO/Socket/SSL.pm line 30,  line 1 6.
Compilation failed in require at /opt/zimbra/zimbramon/lib/Net/LDAP.pm line 970,  line 16.

i need some help. at this point my mail is down. i'm not sure if i should revert back. or try.

Have you actually installed the correct version of Zimbra for your o/s i.e which version of Centos is this and do you have the correct Zimbra version for that o/s?

[reckless2k2]

the current successful version i was running was:

zcs-4.5.10_GA_1575.RHEL4

the version i tried to upgrade to was:

zcs-5.0.0_GA_1869.RHEL4.20071218182359

OK, in that case check this post and follow the instructions.

[reckless2k2]

forgive my ignorance but does that mean that the PERLLIB and PERL5LIB environment variables in root's .bashrc need to match zimbra user's .bashrc?

i'm pretty sure that is what i read. can you please confirm?

thanks.

[phoenix]

Yes, that's what I read too.

[reckless2k2]

i did try that but still got the same error. i copied the PERLLIB and PERL5LIB to root's .bashrc but still got the same errors. those variables did not exist in root's .bashrc so i just added them at the bottom including the export parameters for them.

it looks as though it's only partially installed. some of the GUI is there and all services are running but MTA. i can't get it to work though. is there something i did wrong with the copy paste into .bashrc?

Actually, what I meant was to export those as the root user. Copying them into root's .bashrc won't do anything unless you log out as root and then log back in to pick it up, or reset the environment.

Trying to upgrade from 4.5.10 to 5.0 on CentOS 4 x86_64.

Failed with error:

5 is only avaliable with the XS version at /opt/zimbra/zimbramon/lib/IO/Socket/SSL.pm line 30
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /opt/zimbra/zimbramon/lib/IO/Socket/SSL.pm line 30,  line 17.
Compilation failed in require at /opt/zimbra/zimbramon/lib/Net/LDAP.pm line 970,  line 17.

After reading a few threads, I tried running:

cpan -i Scalar::Util

(I had problems with my cpan server so deleted /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/CPAN/Config.pm, then ran the code above again and setup some cpan servers from here)

After installing - I re-ran the ./install.sh and it worked ok...

Good luck all - best wishes for 2008

After much searching and hair pulling out as 50K email accounts on my server quit working it seems that the Perl RPM in CentOS *Plus* is broken (missing XS that Zimbra needs during install) but the Perl that comes with CentOS (non-Plus) has XS in it. See the below link on how to restore back to the plain Perl with XS support. After I did this my upgrade went perfectly. Everything else in the above posts did not work for me.

[SOLVED] CentOS is NOT supported
