[SOLVED] ZxChat 8.8.4

Post by milauria »

My latest yum update for Centos7 has delivered an update also for the Chat module.
Now the web client complains because it requires ZxChat zimlet v 8.8.4 (versus the current 8.7.10)
I am on Zimbra 8.7.11 ... has it come the moment to upgrade the whole Zimbra to 8.8 ... or where could I find the updated zimlet ?
Cheers and keep up with the good work .....

Hello,
It seems we launched some packages before time, so what you can try is to search for zimbra-chat you will see a package, that's the zimlet you need to deploy it with this as zimbra user:

Code: Select all

zmzimletctl deploy <location on new chat>
It should work.

I only found this one

Code: Select all

# find / -name '*zimbra-chat*'
/var/lib/yum/yumdb/z/3b9ff3e472612d7b2ceb7226ccd109952f909397-zimbra-chat-1.0.11+1509959286-2.r7-x86_64
and this one (that I am not sure if it's a left over from previous install)

Code: Select all

/opt/zimbra/zimplets/com_zextras_chat_open.zip
I deployed the zip:

Code: Select all

$ zmzimletctl deploy com_zextras_chat_open.zip
[] INFO: Deploying Zimlet com_zextras_chat_open in LDAP.
[] INFO: Installing Zimlet com_zextras_chat_open on this host.
[] INFO: Upgrading Zimlet com_zextras_chat_open to 16.44.0
[] INFO: Adding Zimlet com_zextras_chat_open to COS default
[] INFO: Enabling Zimlet com_zextras_chat_open
But still showing the same warning as it's outdated version

Should I yum remove something and refresh the zimbra installation to revert back to the chat 8.7 ?

Yeah, after deploying the Zimlet and do a mailbox restart, you should be fine, if you aren't, try to do a yum remove zimbra-chat, and try to do yum update yum upgrade again to install the old version, we've rolled back already.
