I failed. I accidentially upgraded my server from Ubuntu 14 to 16, then 18 without accordingly updating the Zimbra server installation beforehand. Luckily, I do have a zextras Backup at hand such that external restore should not be an issue.
Nonetheless, I now ran into several issues when performing a complete uninstall of the zimbra server and a subsequent clean and fresh install of the latest (beta) release version which is zcs-8.8.12_GA_3794.UBUNTU18_64.20190329045002 in my case.
After fixing most of the issues in the past 2 days, I now ended up with a Zimbra installation that is capable of starting all installed processes with the zmcontrol start command. Yet, after a couple of minutes certain processes stop working due to an issue with the mysql database. When checking the logs, I understand that the database zimbra and its tables have never ever been injected during the installation process.
What would you suggest to fix these issues?
