I'd love to recover my old imap messages from the store and/or database.

I can start up /opt/zimbra/bin/ldap and then /opt/zimbra/bin/zmmailboxctl.

Shouldn't this let me recover my old messages from port 147? The processes

are running, but no one's listening to the port. Pl. advise. Tx.

When 4.5.1 starts, I think it gets errors because it thinks the domain is 'postmaster.usys.com' and I installed at 'usys.com'. So I want to fix this

at the command line and see if it has an affect. Thanks.

My dns domain is usys.com (split) but zimbra thinks the dns domain

is postmaster.usys.com. How do I explicitly set zimbra to view

the domain as 'usys.com' not 'postmaster.usys.com'. Thanks.

3.0 to 4.5.1 upgrade updated the database, I watched it happen. So I think I have a 4.5.1 db.
[root@postmaster zcs]# host $(hostname)

postmaster.usys.com has address 192.168.111.5
[root@postmaster zcs]# /sbin/service iptables status

Firewall is stopped.
ip6 disabled.

Dig and usys.com are in sync now. Reinstalled 4.5.1, got the same name resolution errors. I think I'm at the stage where I want to do a clean install, but I don't want to lose my existing mailboxes. Is there a way to set the mailboxes and mail aside, install (not upgrade), and then restore the mailb...

The command line dig queries show all is well (doesn't it)? I set up a "split DNS" locally according to the instructions on the wiki. I reinstalled 4.5.1, I get the same result. Here's what dig says: $ dig postmaster.usys.com ; <<>> DiG 9.3.1 <<>> postmaster.usys.com ;; global options: pri...

I run a local dns server that forwards to my ISP for local names it can't resolve. This is what you mean by a "split server"? Since I have an operational zimbra 4.5.1 on a different box (I pointed the mx record there and installed), can I tar up /opt/zimbra/db, carry it to the new box and ...

To see if the installation has a dns issue, I did a new install on another machine.

This went without a hitch. So there's something wrong on the server machine itself.

I've attached the installation log.

Any gottas I should be aware of before I start? I've looked at http://wiki.zimbra.com/index.php?title=Open_Source_Edition_Backup_Procedure for backing up my existing installation. I've installed in /opt/zimbra. Will recursive copy of the directory to (say) /opt/zimbra_3.0.1_GA_160 also copy the data...
