What do you mean by 'broken'? If you mean they're not there then you should redeploy them.

by broken i mean that i don't have them on any mailbox, i deploy again all my zimlets, all of them says the deploy is ok, but when i check on my webclient i can find them, i check on my COS and see if they are available for my all my accounts, and they are there, that's why i'm worry to had omited some step on my upgrade, any help, i'll appreciate a lot

Hi there,

Just wanted to witness the same exact situation here... I tried to go through each steps mentioned here

Zimlets, Setting Up - Zimbra :: Wiki

to achieve as much debug info as I could (I picked com_zimbra_phone as an example, but applies to each one located in /opt/zimbra/zimlets):


Zimbra GA 5.0.4:


shell:
[zimbra@officegateway zimlets]$ zmzimletctl undeploy com_zimbra_phone
[] INFO: Undeploying on officegateway.open1.it

com_zimbra_phone

Available Zimlets in COS:

com_zimbra_date
com_zimbra_phone
com_zimbra_url




Users are in the default COS, zimlets are enabled on the admin GUI, everybody should be happy.... But it's not... :-((

I am clueless... I am sure everything worked in 4.5.x, but now that I am in 5.0.4, troubles are the same as the user danny.sierra is telling us. Can't be sure that I had the same situation even with 5.0.2, our previous installed version. Didn't pay attention to it, it lasted about a month before upgrading again...

FYI, upgrade history has been: 4.5.(various versions) -> 5.0.2 -> 5.0.4.


Thanks in advance!

[danny.sierra@omtech.net]

well it's funny i got tired of this error so i stop all zimbra services and reboot my machine, after that i can get into my zimbra admin console, i don't know if it works for everyone, but my advice is to look into the log at the exact time you undeploy the zimlet, hope it helps

We have this problem as well, but only for Firefox users. It seems that people using IE or Safari find that they work OK.

Interestingly this happened even on Zimbra's own hosted demo up until 5.0.5 came out, now it works there but not on our ZCS NE server. :-(

[danny.sierra@omtech.net]

Try disabling each zimlet at the time and check on zimbra at firefox, it works for me, i located exactly wich zimlets has the problem with the browser, i know is kind of hard work, but i garantee you'll find the problem good luck

Well I've tried with just one of the date, URL and email Zimlets enabled and none of them work. :-(
