If chat zimlet is disabled then enable Chat Zimlet from Admin Console > Configure > Zimlets > com_zimbra_open_chat <toggle>
Login to user mailbox using Zimbra web client and you will see chat window on right hand side.

Thank you!
AGAIN, we are hit with these type of issues that require hacks to get a server working normally when doing minor upgrades. Total lack of QA testing on Zimbra's part.

I got this problem when upgrading from 8.8.15 Patch2 to 8.8.15 Patch7

This fix doesn't work if you don't have zimbra drive installed.

Code: Select all

david@zimbra:~$ cp -rp /opt/zimbra/lib/ext/zimbradrive/zal.jar /opt/zimbra/lib/ext/openchat/zal.jar
cp: cannot stat ‘/opt/zimbra/lib/ext/zimbradrive/zal.jar’: No such file or directory

Note that we were *not using* zxchat, so this is definitely not a general solution. You might want to just "toggle status" to 'disabled', and see if that fixes it.

I have solved this by navigating to:

Code: Select all

home-configure-zimlets
right click on:

Code: Select all

com_zextras_chat_open
choose "undeploy"

I recently upgraded from 8.8.15 P7 to P12 and this issue has been fixed by Zimbra developers.

I can now enable the Zimbra Chat zimlet and our users are able to see a chat panel and it's working.
