zimbra-core must be enabled

[lynggaard]

Hello

I am trying to install the newest zimbra on ubuntu 7.4 but I am running into a problem

All I get is this:
"
Installing packages

zimbra-core......zimbra-core_4.5.5_GA_838.UBUNTU6_i386.deb...done

"

It doesn't continue to configuration or anything. when looking in syslog is appears that something has failed because I see stuff as:

"May 12 12:36:10 home slapcat: could not stat config file "/opt/zimbra/conf/slapd.conf": No such file or directory (2)"

May 12 12:36:05 home postfix[14044]: warning: My hostname home is not a fully qualified name - set myhostname or mydomain in /opt/zimbra/postfix-2.2.9/conf/main.cf



Any ideas ?

Any particular reason you're not using the supported Ubuntu version for installing Zimbra? You do realise that it may not work on this version, don't you?

The usual questions about hosts file, DNS A & MX records - are they all set-up correctly? Have you looked at some of the other Ubuntu troubleshooting threads?

I have attached my install log file. I am trying to install this on my laptop to demo for some people, and its not running ubuntu edgy but feisty fawn.

You can see from my post above that the version of Ubuntu that you have isn't supported, it may not work. Search the forums for some details if you want to use that version but I'd suggest installing the supported version of Ubuntu.

I am having exactly the same problem: "zimbra-core must be enabled" then exit right before doing the config part of the install. Seems close to working as otherwise everything in the install goes very smoothly.

Appears that this problem happens in /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmsetup.pl. I took a look at the code but really could not follow it well enough to diagnose.

Is it best to just run Zimbra on a dedicated server with Ubuntu 6?

Yes, the easiest thing is to use Ubuntu 6.06 LTS.

i have the same problem as you, here a solution:

edit
/opt/zimbra/libexec/zmsetup.pl

there is a problem with the sub isInstalled()

so,change the following

+- line 324

# if its already defined return;
# if (defined $enabledPackages{$package}) {
# if ($enabledPackages{$package} eq "Enabled") {
# detail("$package is enabled");
# return 1;
# } else {
# detail("$package is not enabled");
# return undef;
# }

return 1;



it's works for me (crappy but it's work)

The problem is in get_plat_tag.sh

To install zimbra under feisty replace get_plat_tag.sh in the installation bin/ directory with this:

#!/bin/sh
echo UBUNTU6

run install and check all prerequisites. Use apt(itude) to install all required packages if necessary.

Before installing, open a second shell in/to the server.
After the zimbra-core package has been installed, immediately go to the second shell and change to /opt/zimbra/libexec. Either copy bin/get_plat_tag.sh from the installation dir here or delete the original and edit it to resemle the above script.

Now the internal "installed" check will return ok and installation will continue without problems and zimbra will run without problems.

Remember: This is not a supported installation

There is a simpler solution I posted a while back. The installer is incorrectly detecting it as a debian4 OS due to /etc/debian_release present in Ubuntu gutsy, iirc. Temporarily move this file or replace the contents with something sensible and the installer runs fine.

Apart from that, antivirus and clamscan don't seem to run fine under feisty, and stats reports itself as stopped as well. So for the time being I will behave like a good citizen and install 5beta3 on a fresh edgy install...
