[ivanbishop]

upgrade fails.

Centos 6.9

zmcontrol -v
Release 8.8.6_GA_1906.RHEL6_64_20171130041047 RHEL6_64 FOSS edition.


NO CLUES in the install log and the RPM files it says i cannot find ARE on disk having been extracted from the TGZ file.

NO CLUES in the install log and the RPM files it says i cannot find ARE on disk having been extracted from the TGZ file.

ANY IDEAS?





Thanks

I think part of your issue here is not understanding what FOUND and NOT FOUND mean. This indicates that the package was found to be installed, not that it was found to exist on the local filesystem.

Why are you saying not to use the zimbra repo after executing ./install.sh? You also no longer need to use --platform-override on centos. Centos has been supported for some time now.

[ivanbishop]

Thanks Tonster.

To be clear I'd rather NOT be downloading tarballs and running a local install.

I want to setup and use the zimbra repo directly.

So, may I ask you to
[1] post the CORRECT zimbra.repo file?
[2] show a yum repolist

The docs are incorrect as they reference a toplevel domain (.tld) rather than the zimbra repo.

Once I have that file I should be able to yum repolist and "what provides" and see ALL the .RPMs you ship from the repo.

Of course some are NEW to 8.8.8 and won't be in my older running install.

You don't have a choice as only some of the packages (and patches) are in the repos, you still need to download the ZCS install file and run that install.

Again, this points to a misunderstanding of how this works for Zimbra. Currently, pretty much the only things that exist in our repo are third-party software packages (java, jetty, amavisd, postfix, etc). The rest are still only in the tarball, and you can ONLY do minor/major upgrades using the tarball. The ONLY thing (starting with 8.8.8 patching) that will work without using install.sh and the tarball is installing the patches.

I'm unsure what document you're referencing, but if you can point to it I can verify that it's correct. The repo file you posted looks right to me, and if it's the one automatically generated then it would certainly be correct. As far as running yum repolist and "what provides", you already can see ALL the .RPM's we ship from the repo, it's just not the list you're thinking it should be. Unfortunately, not everything has been migrated to the repo and we're still tethered to the tarball for minor/major upgrades.
