Maldua's Zimbra FOSS Builds - Share your feedback

[mikec24]

Current: 8.8.15 on Ubuntu VPS (Production)
Upgrade: 10.1.10 on Ubuntu 22.04 (Sandboxed)

Any reason why you haven't upgraded directly to 10.1.15.p1 version?

The only reason is that, 10.1.10 is shown as stable and I wanted the assurance that I could configure and migrate historical data to relatively recent build.

Is there a list of improvements between 10.1.10 and 10.1.15? I could also look at an upgrade to 10.1.15 from 10.1.10 as I have noticed an earlier post, that reports no issues in doing that

Hi,

I just tried to upgrade Zimbra (running ./install.sh from unpacked installer directory) and get an error from mysql part. Server is latest Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS.

Code: Select all

When I check process list mysql is running and I can connect to it by running command: /opt/zimbra/bin/mysql.

So, how to fix this?

Sorry, I thought I had seen 10.1.0, not 10.1.10.
Well, even if 10.1.15.p1 is not stable you should be using that because of security reasons. You can check the Network Edition release notes from the different 10.1.10, 10.1.11,... 10.1.15 to check the different changes.

Please check mysql connection error on upgrades to Maldua ZCS 10.1.5 or Maldua ZCS 10.1.6.

Hi,

Upgrading 8.8.15 CentOS 7 to 10.1.15.p1 fails:

Code: Select all

error: Failed dependencies:
        zimbra-jetty-distribution >= 9.4.57.v20241219-2.r7 is needed by zimbra-store-10.1.15_GA_4200001.RHEL7_64-20260123182817.x86_64

Same here, on Ubuntu 20.04 and upgrading from 10.1.10

Code: Select all

Setting up zimbra-mbox-store-libs (10.1.15.1762779814-1.u20) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of zimbra-store:
 zimbra-store depends on zimbra-jetty-distribution (>= 9.4.57.v20241219-2.u20); however:
  Version of zimbra-jetty-distribution on system is 9.4.46.v20220331-2.u20.

[Ace Suares]

I did

Code: Select all

apt install zimbra-jetty-distribution=9.4.57.v20241219-2.u20

and then install.sh again, but:

Code: Select all

Validating ldap configuration
connect: No such file or directory at bin/zmValidateLdap.pl line 159, <DATA> line 755.
Error: Unable to bind to the LDAP server as the root LDAP user.
       This is required to upgrade.

This is caused by an empty localconfig.xml. Which I always save before an upgrade so I copied that back and restarted install.sh.

Unfortunately, the installer removes the Jetty Distribution and installs the old version again.

[Ace Suares]

Pinning helped:

Code: Select all

nano /etc/apt/preferences.d/zimbra-jetty

Package: zimbra-jetty-distribution
Pin: version 9.4.57.v20241219-2.u20
Pin-Priority: 1001

We always run the installer and setup as separate steps:

Code: Select all

./install.sh -s
/opt/zimbra/libexec/zmsetup.pl

This makes it easier to do modifications in between.
