Mailbox Stopped

[jono]

I tried https:[mailhost.example.com]:7071/zimbraAdmin as per the docs, and no joy, so I did zmcontrol status and the mailbox is still stopped. I enter tomcat start and then status says it's running, but within a minute or so it stops running.

I seem to remember something like this in another forum topic so I will go look there.

*Almost* there!

Check /opt/zimbra/tomcat/log/catalna.out

tail -f -n 20 /opt/zimbra/tomcat/logs/catalina.out

There's no change in the log after zmcontrol start finishes.
I run zmcontrol status immediately after and see it's all running.
I run it again immediately and mailbox is stopped, and there's no additional lines in the .out file.

Following is the addition to the catalina.out file...

mysql is running, right?

Check /var/log/zimbra.log after tomcat dies - there should be a stack trace in there. If not, try /opt/zimbra/log/zimbra.log.

What does java -version return?
