A way to generate a LDIF output is a slapcat:

openldap/sbin/slapcat -f /opt/zimbra/conf/slapd.conf -l /tmp/ldap.ldif

so far i understand is, that this command ist exactly the same like

/opt/zimbra/libexec/zmslapcat /opt/zimbra/data/ldap

or like

/opt/zimbra/openldap/sbin/slapcat -F /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/config -b "" -l /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/ldap.bak

Is this correct? So, if this is true, die command

openldap/sbin/slapcat -f /opt/zimbra/conf/slapd.conf -l /tmp/ldap.ldif

generates an error:

zimbra@server:~$ /opt/zimbra/openldap-2.4.17.8z/sbin/slapcat -f /opt/zimbra/conf/slapd.conf -l /tmp/ldap.ldif
could not stat config file "/opt/zimbra/lib/conf/zimbra-ext.schema": No such file or directory (2)
slapcat: bad configuration file!
zimbra@server:~$

The dir /opt/zimbra/lib/conf doesnt exists

i hope this helps a little to get this error resolved - bad times without a running zimbra :-)

Did you backup /opt/zimbra before you performed the upgrade ?

not exactly before, but i made a tarball every night of the zimbra dir

Okay, so what you could try is extracting your tarball somewhere else on the server. Switch into the zimbra user. Change to the directory where your extracted backup is and then run /opt/zimbra/openldap/sbin/slapcat -F /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/config -b "" -l /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/ldap.bak.

You may wish to backup the ldap.bak first or even move it to a subdirectory out of the way. Hopefully this will generate a good LDAP backup using the V5 binaries.

Once that is done, if it works, copy the ldap.bak to /opt/zimbra/data/ldap and try the upgrade again.

Hmm - slapcat generates an sharded lib error.

Also, there is no opt/zimbra/data/ dir

There should be as that's the new data directory instead of /opt/zimbra/openldap-data, are you sure that the upgrade went OK did you check the log file?

Hi Phoenix

the main error is, that on the installation process from 5.0.18 to 6, the script ended with an "no valid backup found" error - the debs are in version 6, but the zmsetup.pl script ended in this error. It seems, that the slapcat cannot make an valid backup of the ldap structure..dunno why. permissions are ok
