Z7b1 10.6 install failure

[jshier]

I can't get the zmsetup.pl script to run on my fresh install of Z7b1. Here's what the log says:

admin$ tail /tmp/zmsetup.10212010-122807.log
cat: /opt/zimbra/conf/spnego_java_options: No such file or directory
Stopping mailboxd...mailboxd is not running.
Error: assertion '-r /opt/zimbra/conf/my.cnf' failed

Stopping ldap...Done.
Thu Oct 21 12:28:35 2010 failed. exiting.
Thu Oct 21 12:28:35 2010 UPGRADE FAILED - exiting.

Even after copying the spnego conf file to the right name it fails with the same info. I'd like to test this so we can upgrade as soon as Z7 is final.

Looks like manually creating the my.cnf file using the results of zmmycnf allowed the setup to complete, but now I get an error from mysql stating:

innodb_buffer_pool_size must be less then 2GB on a 32bit system
Thu Oct 21 13:40:54 2010: Please correct /opt/zimbra/conf/my.cnf and rerun zmsetup.pl

As far as I know, Z7 is 64-bit only for 10.6, so what's the deal? This is a 2009 Xserve.

So after fixing this stupid error (mysql has no problem with the value, just the stupid setup checker) I get another error saying the mysql db hasn't been initialized. So I have to give the zimbra user a password in order to be able to su into it. I use that to run zmmyinit, which works fine but can't kill mysql if it's already running. Exiting back to my regular admin user I try running setup and it starts mysql but fails anyway, with this message:

WTF? Do you guys even test this stuff?

Is this the first time you've encountered the word "beta" ?

Beta software will have bugs, it's not finished, it's still being created. You want bug free, go for released software.

Ok, that said, it looks like you're running this on OSX Snow Leopard, is that right? Can you install and start an instance of ZCS 6 on that same computer? Just to confirm that the computer has everything needed to get ZCS running.

[jshier]

Usually when someone releases software as a beta, I expect it to install properly, even if some features or incomplete or it crashes. But you've got conf files improperly named so the damn thing can't even set itself up properly. Your setup script doesn't properly detect that I'm on a 64-bit system or the proper values for various MySQL setting, and this release is supposed to be specifically for 64-bit systems. These are all issues that would be encountered if the Mac install had been tested at all.

Why would try to install Z6 when it isn't supported at all on 10.6? You guys keep saying it doesn't work. But hey, whatever, I'll give it a shot.

Just wanted to add that setup fails for Z6 as well on my server. Proceeds this far:

But then gets stuck starting mysql. This is at the end of the log file:
