Problem ZCS 6.0.4 FOSS Installation on SLES 64 bit

[vavai]

Hi,

I'm getting trouble installing Zcs 6.0.4 FOSS 64 bit on SLES 11 64 bit. The installation found an error during setting up syslog as below :

Setting up syslog.conf...updateSyslogNG: Updating /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf...done.
startproc: startproc: exit status of parent of /sbin/syslog-ng: 1

done.

After finishing the installation, Zimbra service could not be stop/start with the following error :

zmcontrol start
no connection to syslog available

- unix dgram connect: Connection refused at /opt/zimbra/zimbramon/lib/Zimbra/Mon/Logger.pm line 44

Anyone have a successfull installing Zcs 6.0.4 64 bit against SLES 11 64 bit ?

Updating : The installation went smooth with Zcs 6.0.3 64 bit on SLES 11 64 bit. Actually, I found 1 error on installation log as below :

Tue Dec 29 14:22:42 2009 *** Running as zimbra user: /opt/zimbra/bin/zmprov -m -l gxc conference.vavai.info

But the installation ended successfully and the MTA/statitistics/logger running without problem.

Trying to instant upgrade into 6.0.4 and will be update this thread ASAP.

Upgrading into ZCS 6.0.4 64 bit on SLES 11 64 bit (the existing ZCS 6.0.3 works successfully) and found following error :

1. Syslog Error

Seems that the ZCS 6.0.4 FOSS binary for SLES 11 64 bit have a problem because the previous version (ZCS 6.0.3) have a smooth installation.

Anyone having tried the Zimbra Installation on SLES 11 ?

Go to /etc/syslog-ng and едит syslog-ng.conf
the end of the original file looks like this:

####
source zimbra_src { unix-stream("/dev/log"; keep-alive(yes); max-connections(20); }; # zimbra
filter zimbra_local0 { facility(local0); }; # zimbra
filter zimbra_local1 { facility(local1); }; # zimbra
filter zimbra_auth { facility(auth); }; # zimbra
filter zimbra_mail { facility(mail); }; # zimbra
destination zimbra_mail { file("/var/log/zimbra.log" owner("zimbra")); }; # zimbra
destination zimbra_local1 { file("/var/log/zimbra-stats.log" owner("zimbra")); }; # zimbra
destination zimbra_local0 { file("/var/log/zimbra.log" owner("zimbra")); }; # zimbra
destination zimbra_auth { file("/var/log/zimbra.log" owner("zimbra")); }; # zimbra
log { source(zimbra_src); filter(zimbra_mail); destination(zimbra_mail); }; # zimbra
log { source(zimbra_src); filter(zimbra_local0); destination(zimbra_local0); }; # zimbra
log { source(zimbra_src); filter(zimbra_local1); destination(zimbra_local1); }; # zimbra
log { source(zimbra_src); filter(zimbra_auth); destination(zimbra_auth); }; # zimbra
########

what did is i:

# source zimbra_src { unix-stream("/dev/log"; keep-alive(yes); max-connections(20); }; # zimbra
filter zimbra_local0 { facility(local0); }; # zimbra
filter zimbra_local1 { facility(local1); }; # zimbra
filter zimbra_auth { facility(auth); }; # zimbra
filter zimbra_mail { facility(mail); }; # zimbra
destination zimbra_mail { file("/var/log/zimbra.log" owner("zimbra")); }; # zimbra
destination zimbra_local1 { file("/var/log/zimbra-stats.log" owner("zimbra")); }; # zimbra
destination zimbra_local0 { file("/var/log/zimbra.log" owner("zimbra")); }; # zimbra
destination zimbra_auth { file("/var/log/zimbra.log" owner("zimbra")); }; # zimbra
log { source(src); filter(zimbra_mail); destination(zimbra_mail); }; # zimbra
log { source(src); filter(zimbra_local0); destination(zimbra_local0); }; # zimbra
log { source(src); filter(zimbra_local1); destination(zimbra_local1); }; # zimbra
log { source(src); filter(zimbra_auth); destination(zimbra_auth); }; # zimbra
##############

and everything started to work

I hope it will work for you....

Thanks from me! It's works!

I have NE on SLES 64 and syslog would not start. Using your syslog config fixed it. Thanks.

This needs to be filed as a bug.

Feel free to add it to bugzilla (check first to see if it's already been filed) and please post the bug number here for others.

in my case everything is fine in the installation, and it's work fine when i try to log in the webmail, the problem is when i try to restart the system, zimbra doesn't start, i try to start manually and send me this:
:~> zmcontrol start
no connection to syslog avaible
-/dev/log is not a socket at /opt/zimbra/zimbramon/lib/Zimbra/Mon/logger.pm line 44


and i try to restart zimbra with the syslog-ng.conf fixed.

i'm using SLES 11 64 bit and zimbra 6.04 64 bit

With help from post #4 of this thread and info I found on the net I have managed to get the Server status and stats working with syslog-ng.

What I did was the following.

run /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmsyslogsetup to get the basics setup.

Enable syslogging in zimbra
zmprov mcf zimbraLogToSysLog TRUE

Copy the syslog-ng stuff from thread #4, I hade to change source(src) to source(s_all)

Restart syslog-ng.
Change /opt/zimbra/conf/zmlogrotate
Look for
killall -HUP syslogd 2> /dev/null || true
and change it to
su - zimbra -c "/etc/init.d/syslog-ng restart" > /dev/null 2>&1 || true

Then add
%zimbra ALL=NOPASSWD:/etc/init.d/syslog-ng restart
To the sudo'rs file.

That did it for me.
