Ubuntu 10.04 and Zimbra 6.0.7 NE

[athrasher@dps.k12.il.us]

My company just bought a brand new server that includes SAS drives instead of SATA, 2 - gig network cards, 2 - 8 core processors, 24 gig ddr3 ram. We are hoping to run Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with Zimbra 6.0.7 NE but i keep getting perl errors while trying to install zimbra. I have tried to down grade to ubuntu 8.0.4.4 but ubuntu 8 does not support the network cards or the SAS drives properly. I can't get past installing the NIC card, because ubuntu 8.04 doesnt recognize it. I have tried to use this "how to guide" Zimbra Groupware Guides - Host Email and Calendars with Zimbra 6 on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid) - Linode Library but get perl errors. with Ubuntu 10.04 lts. I know that with either zimbra 6.0.8 or 6.0.9 Ubuntu 10.04 will be fully supported. I have been using the Ubuntu 8 download for zimbra. I work for a school district and need to have the server up and running during the summer because that is the only time we have down time. Any help that can be given would be wonderful. I am sorry I dont have the actual error code but once I get back to the server room I will post the perl error message. Has anyone else experienced perl errors on zimbra install over Ubuntu 10.04? If so, how did you correct it?

Thanks in advance

Ubuntu 10.04 is not supported by Zimbra yet. It is targeted for 6.0.9 however.

I'm in the same shoes as you, but I went ahead and installed on Cent OS 5.5 64 Bit and finally got everything working a few days ago.

I think you need to give some error messages and maybe I can help you resolving your problem.

There are some problems while installing the ubuntu with zimbra. I think the version problem makes it difficult to cope with it. Anybody who gives the proper solution for it!! is appreciable.

How about giving details of what, exactly, your problem is? If it's just installing on Ubuntu 10.04 then you'll have to wait until it's supported or use a currently supported platform.

I get a perl error right after the convertd package installs. the error is
/usr/bin/perl: symbol lookup error: /opt/zimbra/zimbramon/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi/auto/IO/IO.so: undefined symbol: Perl_Tstack_sp_ptr

That is trying to install this package zcs-NETWORK-6.0.7_GA_2473.UBUNTU8_64.20100616200923 on an Ubunutu 10.04 lts system

Any help would be wondeful

As mentioned in my previous post, you'll have to wait for formal Zimbra support on that version of Ubuntu and you will also invalidate your support for NE by installing on an unsupported platform.

I just get a problem with for loop stated below...

It has been mentioned in these forums but you should always check in bugzilla for the answer and then the Product Portal for which Zimbra version the fix or RFE will be targeted.
