32 to 64 bit Upgrade issue - BES Searcher password

[Cryophallion]

I am trying to test out a move from Ubuntu 8.04 32 bit to 10.04 64 bit. Due to a hard drive failure, I am running the old version off a virtual machine while I do the tests, but I'd like to get up and running on the server ASAP.

Version of zimbra is current version (7.1.4) on all versions.

I followed the instructions on the wiki, but only afterwards realized that the mail port had been 81 on the old version, but set to 80 in the new version, which is why I assumed I got a zmmailboxdctl is not running error when I started up the new instance.

I tried to us zmprov to fix this, but I got the following error:
[] INFO: I/O exception (java.net.ConnectException) caught when processing request: Connection refused
[] INFO: Retrying request
ERROR: zclient.IO_ERROR (invoke Connection refused, server: localhost) (cause: java.net.ConnectException Connection refused)


I decided to do an "upgrade" to redo the settings, but now when it gets to that part, it gives me the asterisks next to the ldap bes searcher password saying it is unverified, and nothing I try works.

Can anyone help get me over this hurdle to get back up and running?

Did you use the menu to set a password for it?

I tried, but it kept labeling it "unverified" I believe. I'm trying for a third time tomorrow. I think that that may be the only password that is not in my old xml settings, but it is still extremely frustrating.

Ok, interesting. :/ Do you know what it is logging in the setup log in /tmp when you set a value for it? I thought this was fixed in 7.1.3 (bug#64401)

Below is the output. I DID fix the main issue mentioned above (certs issues), but I decided to test if this bug still exists.

You can get around this for now by finding the following code block in zmsetup.pl:

  # check zmbes searcher binding to the master
  if ($config{LDAPHOST} eq $config{HOSTNAME}) {
    if ($config{ldap_bes_searcher_password} eq "") {
      detail ("BES searcher configuration not complete\n");
      $failedcheck++;
    }
    my $binduser = "uid=zmbes-searcher,cn=appaccts,$config{ldap_dit_base_dn_config}";
    if (checkLdapBind($binduser,$config{ldap_bes_searcher_password})) {
      detail ("Couldn't bind to $config{LDAPHOST} as $binduser\n");
      $config{LDAPBESSEARCHSET} = "Not Verified";
      $failedcheck++;
    } else {
      detail ("Verified $binduser on $config{LDAPHOST}.\n");
      $config{LDAPBESSEARCHSET} = "set";
    }
  }

Remove the if... through else ... lines, and the first } after the else line, that'll skip checking that it is valid, and let you proceed with the install.
