Hi Fabio

How did you get on with the install? I'm have a problem doing an upgrade from ZCS 8.8.6 or a clean install on CentOS7.

Hi Phoenix,

I have upgraded a test environment from Zimbra 8.8.6 NE on CentOS7 and everything went well. It's a Single-Server environment.

Mine is also a single server but it's the OSS version. Oh well, I've posted in the Installation forum so I'll see if anything comes of that before I file a bug report. Thanks for the quick reply.

I've just upgraded an OSE test environment from 8.8.6 on CentOS 7 and everything worked fine as well.

Hmm, strange. Mine is a fairly basic Centos7 with a more recent kernel (4.15.7-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64) and up-to-date: CentOS Linux release 7.4.1708. The install creates the repository then goes through the normal install questions and even if I accept all the default packages I still get the following message: Unable to find missing packages in repository.

Slightly confusing but..... I use DNF for my package manager so I tried removing everything 'zimbra' that had been installed, it removed a ton of perl packages from an old 8.7 beta - no success. One more installation attempt failed but I thought that as Zimbra probably uses yum for package management I'd clean that out, success - and removing the cache with "rm -rf /var/cache/yum" has fixed it. Not being an admin I can't imagine why that's caused the problem but, hey, It's now installed. I guess it might be worth filing a bug report? Thanks for your posts.

Sometimes the package cache can be corrupted or contain all data. If it happens in the future, yum clean all should fix it.

I know that and it didn't work in this case, as I mentioned I had to remove the files with "rm" to get it to work.

Hi to all,

Upgrade my ZCS 8.8.6 OSE w/patch to 8.8.7 on a Ubuntu 16.04 LTS VM last Sat, and apart from an issue with the 'zmstat', so far all seems ok.

Regards
