Zimbra Release 8.5.0.GA.3042.UBUNTU12.64 Multiserver Environment, Zextras 1.9.1.

Thank you.

I think my problem may be solved -- there was a "lost+found" directory in the path I was trying to do the external restore from, and it was owned root:root. I deleted that, and the restore appears to have started up. I'll check back in and let you know if it finishes. Thx Cine for your help.

Edit: this is regarding the external restore simply not starting.

[ITGuy]

The new Beta release installs now flawless - thanks.

Restore of an email account for me did not work, as I have my old server using the ZimbraPosixAccount Zimlet.
My question: Do I just need to install the ZimbraPosixAccount Zimlet on Zimbra v8.5? I don't intend to use that Zimlet no more in the future.
Any other way to make it work?

Thanks, William

Zextras v1.91 has fixed above problem reported.

I did an external import using the same dataset as before.
I had a brief look at the imported account. As far as I can tell all seems to be there.

Here just some small detail of the restore log:
Warnings: 0
Errors: 0

- stats -
Restored Items: 6739
Skipped Items: 25
Unrestored Items: 0

Will do another restore with updated dataset and more accounts soon.

In the meantime, thank you very much for your excellent work and support.

Regards, William

Thank you.

Hi gersonreiscosta and rquezada,

as reported by Cine in the first post, zimlet deploing issue is related to a zimbra bug (something like this), so you need to check if Zextras Administration Zimlet is working even the deployment seems fail.

KNOWN ISSUES

• In Multiserver infrastructures the following message will be displayed during the Zimlet installation:

INFO: Deploying on ui node master.example.com
INFO: deploy failed on ui node master.example.com

The zimlet installation might have failed, please check whether
the ZeXtras Administration Zimlet is properly displayed
upon accessing the Zimbra Administration Console.

Installation failure might be caused by an incomplete startup
of the Zimbra "mailboxd" service or by a server configuration issue.

Please verify that Zimbra is up and running, then retry the deployment
of the zimlet running « ./install.sh zimlet ».

Check
/tmp/zextras-zimlet-install-log-XYX.txt
for further details.

This seems to be caused by a "zmzimletctl" issue beyonf our control, so please log into the Zimbra Administration Console and check whether the ZeXtras Administration Zimlet has been correctly installed before reporting an issue.

Have a nice day.
D0s0n

I'm running Zimbra Network Edition and recently upgraded to 8.5.0, only to find that Zextras does not work anymore and that 1.9.x does not support NE.

So now I'm left with an install non-functional version of 8.1.17, that is somewhat installed and cause all kind of problems in the Zimbra admin interface.

How can I uninstall the 8.1.17 version, and how long until I can get a functional 1.9.x for Zimbra NE?

Hello Andersh!

You can uninstall ZeXtras Suite by running the following command from the installer directory:

./install.sh -u all

Hello Andersh!

You can uninstall ZeXtras Suite by running the following command from the installer directory:

No, I cannot. Because that will only give me:

Zimbra 8.5.x has been detected.
This version of ZeXtras Suite has been built for Zimbra 8.5.0 BETA2 only

Hello Andersh!

You can uninstall ZeXtras Suite by running the following command from the installer directory:

Looks like you found a loophole

You'll need to manually uninstall ZeXtras Suite, as neither the 1.8.17 package nor the 1.9.x one will allow you to uninstall (because of either an unsupported version or edition).

In order to do so you need to:

- Remove the /opt/zimbra/lib/ext/zextras/ directory.
- Undeploy the ZeXtras Administration Zimlet by running

su - zimbra
zmzimletctl undeploy com_zextras_zextras

Have a nice day,

In order to do so you need to:

That worked.
Thanks for your quick response!
