Hello,

I just downloaded Zimbra FOSS 10.1.4 and install on ubuntu 22.04
This is a brand new install, not upgrade

After the necessary settings of the domain names and networks:

wget "https://github.com/maldua/zimbra-foss-b ... 113655.tgz"
extracted it and i started the installation.

Everything went fine (not for the first time, it was ny mistake with the DNS settings :roll: )

Till this point there was no problems at all.

System should be finalised by 06.01.2025.


Thanks for everything!!!!

Regards and happy new year!

*** UPDATE *** SOLVED ***
In my stupidity, I installed with './install -s' because that is what I thought I had to do when Zimbra was already installed. But with '-s' it ONLY installs software, and doesn't run the upgrade scripts. After running './install' again, it runs those scripts.
But now it stops with the error in this thread: viewtopic.php?p=311431#p311431

Code: Select all

Sun Jan 12 09:39:35 2025: Verified schema version 115.
Sun Jan 12 09:39:35 2025: Adding store_type column to zimbra.volume table.

*** UPDATE: after reboot and reinstall, mysql migrations succeeded! Just like in the post mentioned above.

Now this:

Code: Select all

Updating zimbraLDAPSchemaVersion to version '1717060748'
Updating global config and COS's with attributes introduced after 9.0.0_ZEXTRAS...failed.
Stopping ldap...done.
Upgrade complete.
I don't know if it failed or that the upgrade was completed...

Later on, this:

Code: Select all

Checking for port conflicts
Port conflict detected: 53 (zimbra-dnscache)
Port conflicts detected! - Press Enter/Return key to continue 
Unfortunately, Jetty would still not start. Had to edit /opt/zimbra/jetty_base/etc/jetty.xml and jetty.xml.in again to remove docserver. After that, the web interfaces came up again.

*** END UPDATE***

*** ORIGINAL POST (feel free to delete now irrelevant parts and replies). ***

Installed 10.1.3 for Ubuntu 20.04, over 9.0.0 (that I installed via zm-build). There where two issues (at least), one is described here: viewtopic.php?p=310248#p310248 (removing a block from jetty.xml and jetty.xml.in). At least mailboxd was starting. Jetty was still not starting, there is an error in mailbox.log:

Code: Select all

2025-01-12 07:14:39,932 ERROR [main] [] Versions - DB Version Mismatch: ours=118 from DB=111
2025-01-12 07:14:39,932 FATAL [main] [] system - Data version mismatch.  Reinitialize or upgrade the backend data store.
I haven't found the migration scripts to go from 111 to 118 yet.

While I was writing this post, I was looking at the downloads page and 10.1.4 was there.. so I installed that, the problem with mailboxd and the jetty configuration was gone (but i don't know if that was fixed in 10.1.4 or it was from my previous edits). The DB mismatch was still there.

I found most of the migrations somewhere:

Code: Select all

migrate20190611-ZimbraChat.pl	110
migrate20210506-BriefcaseApi.pl	111
migrate20200625-MobileDevices.pl	112
migrate20210319-MobileDevices.pl	113
migrate20220721-AddMdmUpdateTimestamp.pl	114
migrate20220525-Volume.pl	115
migrate20220729-FilesShareWithMeFolder.pl	116
migrate20230224-UpdateOnlyOffice-7.2.1.pl	117
I think when I build 9.0 I had some problem with a missing migration. I think it's this thread: viewtopic.php?t=72475

That thread also reveals the locations of the migration files: https://github.com/Zimbra/zm-db-conf/tr ... /migration

Actually, I build 9.00 Zextas with these migration files:

migrate20140319-MailItemPrevFolders.pl 100
migrate20140328-EnforceTableCharset.pl 101
migrate20140624-DropMysqlIndexes.pl 102
migrate20150401-ZmgDevices.pl 103
migrate20150515-DataSourcePurgeTables.pl 104
migrate20150623-ZmgDevices.pl 105
migrate20150702-ZmgDevices.pl 106
migrate20170301-ZimbraChat.pl 107
migrate20180301-ZimbraChat.pl 108
migrate20190401-ZimbraChat.pl 109
migrate20190611-ZimbraChat.pl 110
migrate20220729-FilesShareWithMeFolder.pl 111

It seems that they differ from the ones in the 10.1.4 build...


So, these migrations are needed or can they be skipped?

Also, migrate20210809-UnsubscribeFolder.pl changes stuff in the database but doesn't check for a version number.

That's nice to know.

Apparently if something goes wrong with an installation/update I would have to also ask for the exact command that was run to perform such installation/update.

How do you build Zimbra 9.0.0 from ZeXtras?

I wasn't aware that they had a howto on how to build their own builds.

Hello Adrian,
for testing purposes i'd like to install the available 10.1.X versions at https://maldua.github.io/zimbra-foss-bu ... loads.html

Do I need a valid Zimbra license for this version or can I install and test it without one? I know I can request test licenses for 10.1 from the download page, but I had a lot of problems with the LDS service on the network edition and i'd like to know how the Maldua FOSS builds handle the new license system.

Thanks a lot!

This is equivalent to the old OSE downloads. So, no, there is no need for a Zimbra license.
You can straight-forward install it and test it.

Please advise on how to modify Maldua downloads page contents so that it's obvious that you don't need a license.

Thank you!
