[SOLVED] Error when attempting to configure Zimbra Talk Zimlet in Zimbra Admin

Post by solubiz »

It worked well previously with Zimbra 8.6 and the old Zimbra Talk (previous to the new cleaner install method)

I upgraded Zimbra to 8.7 GA... And I attempted to upgrade the Zimbra Talk installation with the new installer, without luck because of failed dependencies.

I opted to setup a new Zimbra Talk server from scratch on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Kept same IP and hostname, moved SSL certificate/key over, installation went well.

I uninstalled and reinstalled the Zimbra Talk Zimlet on my Zimbra server.

Now when I attempt to configure Zimbra Talk under (Zimbra Administration / Configure), I get the following error:

Critical: JavaScript error encountered in method ZaOverviewPanelController.prototype._overviewTreeListener

If I click OK, I can put in https location port and auth key but when I click SAVE I get the following error:

Critical: Error occured while saving settings.

Is there a way I can completely remove all Zimbra Talk related settings on my Zimbra server and start fresh? I cannot save the new auth key... Please advise!

Thank you,

Nic

I have made it further... completely undeployed and removed the vnc-talk zimlet, including admin, using zm-apt-get remove zcs-vnc-talk ... reinstalled.

No more popup error as I open the Zimbra Talk configuration administration page, but I am seeing the following using Chrome Dev Tools:

https://whatever.com:7071/service/zimle ... config.jsp
HTTP ERROR 500
Problem accessing /service/zimlet/biz_vnc_admin_talk_zimlet/getvnctalkzimletconfig.jsp. Reason:
Server Error


and same HTTP ERROR 500 when trying to updateconfiguration.jsp ... halp!!

How can I remove all pre-existing Zimbra Talk configurations from my Zimbra Server?

I tried resetting the configuration from the administration configuration page but it also returned an error 500.

Hello,
For ZCS 8.7, you need to follow the next steps:
Steps for re-enabling Zimbra-Talk after patching or upgrading Zimbra

After the Zimbra-upgrade has been completed, you have perform these steps on the Zimbra installation.
Reinstall zmpkg and the previously installed zimlets
Download latest zmpkg-installer
In case of Zimbra 8.7, you need at least the zmpkg-installer in version 1.4.4.2, wich you will get here: Install zmpkg
Download and unpack the tar.gz file to your Zimbra machine and execute the installer with root privileges:

Code: Select all

wget http://packages.vnc.biz/zmpkg/bootstrap/zmpkg-installer-latest.tar.gz
tar xfvz zmpkg-installer-latest.tar.gz
cd zmpkg-installer-<version>
sudo ./install.sh
Become user zimbra and reinstall all zimlets that were installed via zmpkg, prior to the Zimbra-upgrade:

Code: Select all

sudo su - zimbra
zm-apt-get install --reinstall `zmpkg list | grep -v zmpkg | grep "^ii" | awk '{print $2}' | tr '\n' ' '`
Re-adjust nginx proxy settings
Open nginx.conf.web.https.default.template

Code: Select all

vi /opt/zimbra/conf/nginx/templates/nginx.conf.web.https.default.template
Look for

Code: Select all

#For long polling of Microsoft ActiveSync
before this location, insert:

Code: Select all

    location ^~ /VNCMiddleware
    {
    proxy_cache off;
    proxy_read_timeout 500s;
    proxy_pass_header Cookie;
    proxy_pass     http://$TalkServerIP:8080/VNCMiddleware;
    }
Note: replace $TalkServerIP with the actual IP of your Zimbra-Talk server.
The modified configuration will be updated and applied after executing

Code: Select all

/opt/zimbra/libexec/zmproxyconfgen
Finally, restart Zimbra:

Code: Select all

zmcontrol restart

That did the trick, we are back up and running on the latest Zimbra 8.7 GA and the latest Zimbra Talk installer.

You're the man Jorge, THANK YOU :)
