Installation fails on CentOS 4.6 Virtuozzo

[Spacerat]

Hi folks

I have a similar problem installing Zimbra as in this thread:

Problem installing on Ubuntu

But my system ist a CentOS 4.6, installed all prereqs.

If I run:

it ends in:

Hi Spacerat

I;ve got similar messages after I upgraded from 5.0.4 to 5.0.5 tonight.

I didn't get them during installation but I did get the same messages afterwards during a manual startup.

We've been running zimbra happily in an OpenVZ VPS (the opensource version of Virtuozzo) for almost two years without problems.

I only seem to get the messages when I manually start the server with 'zmcontrol start' it gives me the error as zmstats is starting.

 Starting ldap...Done.
        Starting logger...Done.
        Starting mailbox...Done.
        Starting antispam...Done.
        Starting antivirus...Done.
        Starting snmp...Done.
        Starting spell...Done.
        Starting mta...Done.
        Starting stats...*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0xb7e76280 ***
Done.
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0xb7e76280 ***
[zimbra@mail /]$ *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0xb7e76280 ***

It must try to start it again shortly after, because although zmcontrol hangs and I have to close it with ctrl-c, the stats do come up after a minute or so.

As per the ubuntu thread referred to by Spacerat I've tried decreasing the defualt java_heap size from 30 to 20, and I've been increasing the privvmpages allocated to the zimbra vps.

As I'v raised it, the failcnt column has decreased (that 177 in the fail cnt column has only gone up by 2 since I made my last resource increase, which seems to correspond nicely to the number glibc errors I get.) As I increase the privvmpages I've received fewer lines of the glibc error.

at the moment the resource allocation looks like this (about a 1/3 of the server):

uid  resource                     held              maxheld              barrier                limit              failcnt

I guess the two things I'd like to know are:

1. Where do I look to try and narrow down exactly whats causing this? (no errors in zinbra.log, there are some stacktrace.xxxxx files in the /opt/zimbra/log directory
2. Can anyone suggest any more tweaks to java/zimbra settings? (Its been working fine for ages, is there some new memory hungry feature in 5.0.5?)

Cheers.
