We successfully completed the procedure for an Ubuntu 8.0.4 32b to Ubuntu 8.0.4 64b single server install last month.
However, I'm currently expanding our zimbra install to some of our other offices abroad. While installing a slave-ldap server I ran into a nasty certificate issue, which seems to have been caused by this procedure, which is not complete.
The issue is that when the 64b server is installed, new CA and certificates are created. However, when you restore the old LDAP, this contains the OLD CA (zmprov gacf) values. For a single server this is not an issue apparently. However when you try to install a new node, the CA is pulled from LDAP during installation, and therefore doesn't match with the CA in /opt/zimbra/conf/ca.
I guess, but I have not tried it yet (waiting for Zimbra Support advice), you can simply update the CA values in LDAP to fix this. Please verify and add this step to the procedure. |
