Mailboxd start problem

[Patrick795]

Hi,
i've got a problem with my zimbra installation.

A few days ago i installed updates with "apt-get upgrade". Also zimbra packages were updated.
After this i never restarted zimbra. Yesterday i renewed (successfull, like thousand times before) the letsencrypt ssl cert and restarted zimbra with "zmcontrol restart" to use the new certificate.

Zimbra started "ldap", "zmconfigd" and "logger" successful, but "mailbox" doesn't want to start.
In "zmmailbox.out" there is the following error message:

Code: Select all

Unrecognized option: --module-path
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

So the used java version doesnt't know the option "--module-path".
Other (newer) versions like openjdk 9 say the same.

Does anybody know what could be the problem with my zimbra installation?

Additional Infos:
zimbra version:

Release 8.8.12.GA.3794.UBUNTU16.64 UBUNTU16_64 FOSS edition, Patch 8.8.12_P3

java version:

openjdk version "1.8.0_172-zimbra"

Hello,

can you check your localconfig :
zmlocalconfig | grep java | grep module
to see where java is calling module-path . On a ZCS 8.7, there is no such option.

Hello,

check if module-path option is present into /opt/zimbra/bin/zmmailboxdctl
And post also the output of the following command as Zimbra user :
which java

Hm ok, nevertheless thank you!

Maybe i'm going to try a fresh install and try to "import" my data. I don't know how yet or if it's possible without loosing data, but i will find it out.


If sombody else have any idea, please let me know!

After a lot of work and many hours my zimbra server is finally running again.
My server is running a really long time, so there were a lot of zimbra updates and also distribution upgrades in the past.
To get it running again i needed to change the java version of zimbra manually, also change some binary files of the installation. I also changed a lot of configurations.
There were so many things to do, that i cannot list the things here. After one error was fxed, i got the next one.
There was also a problem with not updated databases files. I updated them with update scripts which come with the zimbra installation manually.
