Hi there,

I have searched all over the forum but cannot find the answer.

When you finish installing zimbra it, by default, will create a file with a summary of the configuration and stores it under /opt/zimbra (you can copy it somewhere else). it's a different file name for every install (including version upgrades).

If you wanted to restore your ZCS to its post-installation configured state you would use this file.

The file is usually called config. followed by a number and it's under /opt/zimbra and you would see many of these if you've done several installs or upgrades. The "last" one is also stored as /opt/zimbra/.saveconfig/config.save and, as I understand it, it's what zimbra will use for the "next" install/upgrade... configuration data saved in your ZCS ldap directory is also preserved.

Hi,

thank you very much for the answer.

I have used the install.sh with the -r option as follow:

./install -r config.#

where the config.# is the file you have told me to use, but at the end, the installation have a new localconfig.xml, with new passwords, than the old installation take from the config.#. So the restore, from the post-installation configured state, failed.
Also, I have copied the config.# file in the installation folder (in my case zcs-NETWORK-6.0.10_GA_2692.RHEL5_64.20101215161355)

Have I wrong someting, or -r option have a bug?
