Insallation failed (Debian server)

[popui007]

Hello all,
after reading about "zimbra", watching the demo and getting excited about it, I've downloaded the source in order to install it on my Debian server (running

Sarge).
I have to mention that on this server are allready Apache and Mysql installed and running.
I carefully followed your installation orders for dev-install (found on http://www.zimbra.com/blog/archives/...ing_with.html), but alot of steps

went on producing an error or just failed as you can see in the report.
Again I have to mention some things.
First - before installing I stoped Apache and Mysql services completly,
second - in the step
" $ /opt/zimbra/bin/zmmyinit
$ /opt/zimbra/bin/zmldapinit
$ /opt/zimbra/bin/zmmtainit localhost
$ /opt/zimbra/bin/zmmtaconfig mta"
3 of those are located in the wrong path - I located them in "/opt/zimbra/libexec...", on one installation I tried to ln -s them but they had wrong permissions, I tried

to set the permissions right (enabling "x"), and I managed to get through that step, but still errors and failures kept reaccuring.

Please check the document referd to and fix it, and please read my report and answare me, as well as publish your answare.
I'ts a shame.... I realy wanted to use thar tool ("zimbra") for our domain clients, I was realy looking forward to see it working, I was thrilled about it - it looks great!
Thank you and good luck!

p.s.
steps not mentioned on my reort went well.

Thanks for the detailed report. Not sure if you've been following the other threads but we only support/build on Red Hat and Fedora. So we know it won't build on Debian at this time. As we get closer to having a portable build we'll ask you to try again with the new bits.

# /opt/zimbra/postfix/sbin/postfix set-permissions
postfix: warning: My hostname *************** is not a fully qualified name - set myhostname or mydomain in /opt/zimbra/postfix-2.2.3/conf/main.cf
-----------------------------------

Fixable by editing the /opt/zimbra/postfix-2.2.3/conf/main.cf file by adding a myhostname line.

Once you fix this there are several missing library files. I linked them from the /usr/lib dir to the /lib dir:

ln -s /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7 /lib/libssl.so.4
ln -s /usr/lib/libpcre.so.3 /lib/libpcre.so.0
ln -s /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7 /lib/libcrypto.so.4

After which it appears to run ok...


$ /opt/zimbra/bin/zmmyinit
-bash: /opt/zimbra/bin/zmmyinit: No such file or directory
-----------------------------------

$ /opt/zimbra/bin/mzldapinit
-bash: /opt/zimbra/bin/mzldapinit: No such file or directory
-----------------------------------

$ /opt/zimbra/bin/zmmtainit localhost
-bash: /opt/zimbra/bin/zmmtainit: No such file or directory
-----------------------------------

Run these from the /opt/zimbra/libexec dir. They apparently expect to be in this dir (they call the bin dir through a relative path ../bin).

Which is contrary to the devel guide http://www.zimbra.com/blog/archives/...ping_with.html.

Anyways... onto zmmyinit.

I already have a mysql database running and I don't want to take it down. So I changed the port it configures zmmysql to run on:

zmlocalconfig -e mysql_port=9110

Use the command above and don't try to edit the conf/my.cnf since it just gets removed/recreated by the zmmyinit script anyways.

After this and checking the log/zmmyinit.log file I discovered a problem with my premission settings on the db/data/mysql dir: Had to add rwx for the group. This may have something to do with the rather meandering way that I went about setting it up in the first place but if your server doesn't start I'd look at that dir's permissions.

Onward to zmldapinit...

So... I haven't got this working yet. The script fails saying that it couldn't get connected to the ldap service. Checking the debugging output from slapd using the -d 5001 option I see these two errors:

/opt/zimbra/openldap/etc/openldap/schema/zimbra.schema: line 1229: bad config line (ignored)

bdb(): /opt/zimbra/openldap-data/__db.001: No such file or directory

Which I'll be checking on after I eat some food!!

[largenumber]

Looks like the bad config line was caused by a blank line in the file... removed it.

The second error appears to be from an improper config value somewhere. I set the value in conf/slapd.conf to the right directory.

After finding the command that is actually being sent to start slapd (A pity that their initialization script doesn't produce a log file like the last one):

/opt/zimbra/openldap/libexec/slapd -4 -u`whoami` -h "ldap://:389" -f /opt/zimbra/conf/slapd.conf

I changed it to (so I could get some error messages):

sudo /opt/zimbra/openldap/libexec/slapd -4 -h "ldap://:389" -f /opt/zimbra/conf/slapd.conf -d 5001

Which gets me the output:

At which point I notice I'm getting this statement "ldap_err2string" and I suspect an error, but it doesn't really say more than that. Also more at the end of the output there are clearly some functions missing "bdb(): unable to initialize mutex: Function not implemented"...

Unfortunately that is all I know for now

[adobrin]

Well, i'm kindof following with you guys. I'm sortof lost with the mysql store, but --

to fix the bdb issue:

I had to copy my sarge distro slapd binary (i was getting an error--ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; defaulting to 000000000804c55c)

meanwhile, in the config file for slapd (at /opt/zimbra/openldap/etc/openldap/slapd.conf):

where it says Modulepath /usr/local/libexec whatever-
change it to:
modulepath /usr/lib/ldap
moduleload back_bdb
(note, i removed the .la that was originally there).

This is of course assuming you already have the debian openldap prereq's, which will put back_bdb.so in /usr/lib/ldap.

immediately after moduleload back_bdb, add the lines:

backend bdb
checkpoint 512 30

and slapd should start AOK.

[adobrin]

btw, my slapd.conf was in /opt/zimbra/openldap/etc/openldap/
.. i guess i'll symlink to /zimbra/conf
