Mailbox Stopped

Now you have to start tomcat

su - zimbra
tomcat start

Hiya,

Firstly, I appreciate the help, and I am hoping these experiences will eventually enrich the project and make it easier for those that follow.

su - zimbra
tomcat start

mysql.server start &
(have to control-z that)

zmcontrol stop (just to make sure)
zmcontrol start
- all come up "done"

zmcontrol status
antispam Running
antivirus Running
ldap Running
logger Running
mailbox Stopped
mta Running
snmp Running
spell Running

[marcmac]

WHy are you doing it that way? Specifically, why start tomcat before sql, when tomcat won't run without sql?

su - zimbra
zmmailboxctl stop
zmmailboxctl start
sh -x zmmailboxctl status

post the output of the last command.

[jono]

ok, done that:

202:~ zimbra$ sh -x zmmailboxctl status
+ BASE=/opt/zimbra
+ SCRIPTS=tomcat mysql.server
+ STATUS=0
+ '[' tomcat = mysql.server ']'
+ /opt/zimbra/bin/tomcat status
+ R=1
+ '[' 1 -ne 0 ']'
+ STATUS=1
+ '[' mysql.server = mysql.server ']'
+ /opt/zimbra/bin/mysqladmin status
+ R=1
+ '[' 1 -ne 0 ']'
+ STATUS=1
+ exit 1

Does that help at all?

[marcmac]

su - zimbra
mysql.server start
mysqladmin status

Any errors? Also check /var/log/zimbra.log

[jono]

202:~ zimbra$ zmcontrol status
Host XXXreplacedXXX
antispam Running
antivirus Running
ldap Running
logger Running
mailbox Stopped
mta Running
snmp Running
spell Running
202:~ zimbra$ mysql.server start
202:~ zimbra$ A mysqld process already exists
mysqladmin status
/opt/zimbra/mysql/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)'
202:~ zimbra$ tail -f -n 20 /var/log/zimbra.log

no errors apparent in the log, only the status of things

[marcmac]

Kill your mysql process, and restart it with mysql.server - if the mysqladmin returns an errror after that, we'll have to reset your password:

zmcontrol stop
zmlocalconfig -e zimbra_mysql_password=newpasswd
zmlocalconfig -e mysql_root_password=newrootpasswd

edit /opt/zimbra/bin/mysql.server

Change
'start')
# --defaults-file must be first argument
cd ${mysql_directory}; \
${mysql_directory}/bin/mysqld_safe \
--defaults-file=${mysql_mycnf} \
--ledir=${mysql_directory}/bin &
;;

to
'start')
# --defaults-file must be first argument
cd ${mysql_directory}; \
${mysql_directory}/bin/mysqld_safe \
--defaults-file=${mysql_mycnf} \
--skip-grant-tables \
--ledir=${mysql_directory}/bin &
;;

su - zimbra
mysql.server start

mysql mysql
update user set password=PASSWORD('newpasswd') where user='zimbra';
update user set password=PASSWORD('newrootpasswd') where user='root';
flush privileges
exit

mysql.server stop
Change mysql.server back (remove --skip-grant-tables)
mysql.server start
mysqladmin status

[jono]

hmmmm...

zmcontrol stop
zmlocalconfig -e zimbra_mysql_password=newpasswd

Error: can not edit key zimbra_mysql_password

even sudo'ing it I get the same...

[marcmac]

Add -f to both of those (zmlocalconfig -f -e ...)

Sorry

[jono]

Sweet, all good now

Ok, now onto configuration... oh, and at some point I will have to get this autostarting if it does end up meeting my needs, which it does look like it will

Once again - Thanks!!!
