Zimbra 5.0.2 and OS X Leopard, java 1.5 error

[Bobnoxs]

Hello. I'm trying to find a PIM I like for OS X, and thought I'd give Zimbra a try.

I downloaded the open source version for OS X, version 5.0.2, and am trying to install it on Leopard. The install seems to go okay, and it tells me to run /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmsetup.pl as root, so I do:

> sudo /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmsetup.pl
and give the appropriate password. Unfortunately, I get an error

su: unknown login: zimbra
Operations logged to /tmp/zmsetup.02242008-113411.log
Checking java version...su: unknown login: zimbra

ERROR

Java version 1.5 required - please update your java version
and set the default version to be 1.5 before proceeding

But I do seem to have version 1.5 set. If I do:

> java -version
I get

java version "1.5.0_13"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_13-b05-237)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_13-119, mixed mode, sharing)

I've searched the web and the forums (I don't seem to have much success searching for keywords on the zimbra forums, for some reason) and have checked the settings. My Java preferences has a choice of 1.4.2 or 5.0, but it does seem that 1.5 is the default setting.

Does anyone have any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Looking at my links for Java:
> ls -l /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions

Current -> A
CurrentJDK -> 1.5

I'm not sure what A is. Presumably, it's another version of Java. Since /usr/bin/java -version showed the java version to be 1.5, I presume this is okay, but just in case, I set:

Current -> 1.5

Still, no dice. I get the same error. Should I try building from source? Any thoughts, anyone?

Leopard uses the Class Data Sharing feature available in J2SE 5.0

Thank you Daniel, but I'm not sure what this means. Does it mean it simply won't work with Leopard? I saw that there were incompatibilities with the server. Do I just need to wait?

ZCS is currently only supported on Tiger. A leopard build is scheduled for 5.0.4.

Thanks Daniel. I'll wait. I appreciate you taking the time to enlighten me on something that is probably obvious to many. It just wasn't clear to me.

The error with regards to the installer reporting the wrong Java version is actually really easy to fix. If you look at the setup script, you can see the error is raised because the installer does 'java -version' as the 'zimbra' user.

Unfortunately, the installer doesn't create the 'zimbra' account (though it does copy the files to /opt/zimbra and symlink to /Users/).

You can fix the Java version exception by creating the user account manually.

However, though the installer then gets past the Java version point, it stalls on ldapinit, which brian's post indicates will be solved later. I really don't know what Daniel's class sharing comment is related too.
