Help!!! Moving ZCS does not work!

[ASebestian]

Hi!

I'm following the Wiki Post "Moving ZCS to New Server" exactly and get always at the last point an strange situation!

When I copied the zimbra.bak file to my new server and I entered the command "rsync -avrlHKpogDt /opt/zimbra.bak /opt/zimbra" it runs again for hours and creates an new directory under /opt/zimbra/ called zimbra.bak!

I did exactly the steps described and allways get the problem it restores it to a wrong directory!

What did I do wrong?

Please help. I allready did this step for 4times! It drives me crazy.

Thanks in advance

Alex

Try adding a trailing slash to both of your directory arguments to rsync:

rsync -avrlHKpogDt /opt/zimbra.bak/ /opt/zimbra/

Did you remove /opt/zimbra on the new server first as specified in the Wiki ?

[ASebestian]

yes i did remove the old zimbra dir.

i found out there are some error's.

what confuses me is rsync is not creating one file - it creates another directory called zimbra.bak!!!!

I'm relative new to linux os so i found this fact very late. (it tooks hours until i realized how to copy the whole directory to the new server).

why does it create a directory and not a file as described in the faq?

Please help - I want to migrate really fast because my old system will be returned to another customer.

thanks

Did you try adding the slashes after the folder names? I tested that with a couple of test folders and it worked right with the trailing slashes, but without them it creates a subdirectory inside the target directory.

[ASebestian]

Yes I did try it also with the /

Now I tried to "copy" the rsync files straight to the new server and I get some strange errors straight from beginning.

Here's a short dump of it:

Any idea?

[ASebestian]

everything back!!!
I did run this command with the "normal" user and not with sudo!

Now it copies.... let's see if i can move it then on the new server from /tmp/zcs to /opt/zimbra

I will let you know!

Hi!

The rsync did work now.
I did move the /tmp/zcs to /opt/zimbra and resatarted the server but i get now following error:

-su : /opt/zimbra/log/startup.log: Permission denied

I'm giving up for today (it's 2:05 am) and will try tomorrow again.
