[SOLVED] zdesktop_beta_build_1083 Fails to start!!

[lightgod886]

I am running Ubuntu 7.10 (i know its not officially supported) and have installed and re-installed beta_build_1083 several times with the same results...

the zimlet injection always fails and I always get a : "The connection was refused when attempting to contact localhost:7633." error.

It sucks when i cant even open the program!!

Hopefully there is some help out there!

how are you launching the zdesktop ? I am running it on Hardy Heron with no problems.

[lightgod886]

I am launching the program from the desktop icon...

are reffering to the actual zdesktop file in the zimbra folder?

[uxbod]

in the zdesktop directory execute :-

./zdesktop start

and then open the desktop app.

It is documented here Zimbra Desktop - Zimbra :: Wiki

I get

bmullins@bmullins-rhel:~/zimbra/zdesktop$ nohup: appending output to `nohup.out'


and i still get the "The connection was refused when attempting to contact localhost:7633." error.

[uxbod]

what is in nohup.out ? so for confirmation you ran :-

 ~/zimbra/zdesktop/zdesktop start

when you have started was does :-

ps -ef | grep zdesktop

show ?

This is the copy and paste from my term:

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

And i have no clue what nohup.out is, sorry

[uxbod]

nohup.out is a file which gets generated when a process forks and does not die when the session closes.

Just do :-

cat nohup.out

and post the contents.

[lightgod886]

Seems to be empty

bmullins@bmullins-rhel:~/zimbra/zdesktop/log$ ls
nohup.out zdesktop.err zdesktop.out
bmullins@bmullins-rhel:~/zimbra/zdesktop/log$ cat nohup.out
bmullins@bmullins-rhel:~/zimbra/zdesktop/log$

Other than the zimlet's I think the biggest problem is the:

"The connection was refused when attempting to contact localhost:7633." error.

I am unable to even open the program due to this, and i am not sure exactly what it is trying to connect to!
