upgrading from 5 to 6, change OS...

[BrianA]

Hi,

I have running debian etch with zcs-5.0.6_GA.

I am building a new mail server, with debian lenny (etch is so old now) and want to use zcs-6.0.1_GA

I have my server set up, but cannot install 5.06 on lenny - wrong OS error.

When I try install 6.01 over the 5.06 folders I get (see below) How can I proceed with a pleasant experience from here?

kind regards

Brian

The Zimbra Collaboration Suite does not appear to be installed,
yet there appears to be a ZCS directory structure in /opt/zimbra.

util/modules/packages.sh

line 150 - 155 commented out.

#if [ x$LOCALPROC != x$PROC ]; then
# echo "Error: attempting to install $PROC packages on a $LOCALPROC OS."
# echo "Exiting..."
# echo ""
# exit 1
# fi

and used the

./install.sh -platform-override

command, it failed after installing the packages... but that should be enough :-) will advise any further grief.
