Move to new server problems

I have attempted to move Zimbra NE 4.5.6 to a new server.
Both are running RHEL5.
I did an install -s on the new server and then deleted /opt/zimbra/
I rsynced the old server to the new server but can't get it to work.
I have changed the dns to point to the new server.
I don't get a /var/log/zimbra.log as I did on the old server.
when it starts :
Host mail.xxxx.com
Starting ldap...Done.
Starting logger...Done.
Starting mailbox...Done.
Starting antispam...Done.
Starting antivirus...Done.
Starting snmp...Done.
Starting spell...Done.
Starting mta...Done.
[zimbra@mailserver ~]$ zmcontrol status
Host mail.xxxx.com
antispam Running
antivirus Stopped
zmclamdctl is not running
ldap Running
logger Running
mailbox Running
mta Stopped
postfix is not running
snmp Running
spell Running
Any clues as to where I should start looking?
I am finding it difficult without a log file.
Cheers

cat /etc/resolv.conf
dig _yourdomain_ mx
dig _yourdomain_ ns
host `hostname` if your have rsync'd across then you could also check the perms are correct. As root/opt/zimbra/lib/zmfixperms

Sounds like you are using the blog article methodology? (
http://www.zimbra.com/blog/archives/200 ... erver.html) We tried that, and it didn't work for us.
We used the Zimbra-certified wiki article for moving from one server to another, and that worked.
Network Edition: Moving from 32-bit to 64-bit Server - Zimbra :: Wiki
Hope that helps,
Mark

Did you run the command to fix permissions? You then have to manually fix the permissions in the .ssh, index, and store directories.

check UID's too. rsync + fix_perms will use the zimbra UID from the old server, easiest fix is changing /etc/passwd to match.

Thak you for the replies.
I had forgotten to complete the procedues as listed in the "Moving ZCS to another Server".
I then ran fixperms and install (it did an upgrade).
I can get everything running (I had to shurdown sendmail) but can't get into webadmin or normal webmail.
When I tail Catalina.out there are a whole lot of Java errors culminating in:
Apr 27, 2008 2:23:44 PM org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11BaseProtocol destroy
INFO: Stopping Coyote HTTP/1.1 on http-443
Apr 27, 2008 2:23:44 PM org.apache.catalina.connector.Connector stop
SEVERE: Coyote connector has not been started
Also when I do a "[zimbra@mail libexec]$ zmprov help config"
I also get Java errors.
INFO: I/O exception (java.net.ConnectException) caught when processing request: Connection refused
INFO: Retrying request
INFO: I/O exception (java.net.ConnectException) caught when processing request: Connection refused
INFO: Retrying request
INFO: I/O exception (java.net.ConnectException) caught when processing request: Connection refused
INFO: Retrying request
ERROR: zclient.IO_ERROR (invoke Connection refused, server: localhost) (cause: java.net.ConnectException Connection refused)
Once again - thank you for the responses.

uh hm. i just did a migration; im not sure what the documentation says, but if i were you i would rsync on top of the install again.
afaik, the procedure should be 1) install packages (same version as source), 2) rsync /opt/zimbra old server tree to new server
then check to make sure everything runs ok -- after thats done, go ahead and upgrade to a new version if thats what you want.
