Manual Install Steps (FreeBSD)

Hi - I'm running Zimbra 8.0.4 on FreeBSD and trying to install ZeXtras on it.

When I try to run the install script, I get:


root@prod01:/root/tmp/zextras_suite-1.8.7 # ./install.sh all

-------------------------

Checking for existing installations ...

FOUND Zimbra 8.0.4

Variable CORE_VERSION undefined


I've tried manually moving files and such, but I must be missing something. Can anyone provide the full list of files to move, where they go and any additional steps needed to try to get this to work?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Shippas,
welcome to the forums, it's nice to see a FreeBSD user!

Unfortunately FreeBSD is not one of the supported Operating Systems for ZeXtras Suite, so there is no official support on this matter...

Nonetheless, I'll be glad to help you ;)

If you wish to to manually install ZeXtras Suite on your server you must:
- create a new directory called "zextras" in $ZIMBRA_HOME/lib/ext/ and chown it to zimbra:zimbra
- move the following files to the newly created directory:
zextras_suite-1.8.7/packages/8.0.4/zextras.jar
zextras_suite-1.8.7/packages/common/zextras-lib.jar
- move the following file to $ZIMBRA_HOME/bin/
zextras_suite-1.8.7/packages/zxsuite

Restart the mailboxd service and deploy the ZeXtras Administration Zimlet using the standard zmzimletctl command. The zimlet file can be found at /root/zextras_suite-1.8.7/packages/common/com_zextras_zextras.zip


Let me know how this turns out!

Have a nice day,
Cine

Awesome, thanks. It looks like the only thing I kept messing up was the location of the extras-lib.jar. Moved, restarted, & appears to be worked. Thanks again.

Hello Shippas,
glad it works!

Just out of curiosity, could you please run the installer with the "-d" option and paste the complete output here?

Have a nice day,

Hello shippas .

Here lies the problem.

Quite likely the problem is connected to the fact that sed on pretty much all flavours of GNU/Linux is GNU sed, but not so on *BSD systems .

Could you run

Code:

---

bin/zxtool.sh -p packages/8.0.4/zextras.jar -v

---

from the directory where you unpacked the ZeXtras Suite package, and tell me the output?

zextras version 1.8.7

Hello again shippas .

I was about to ask you for another test on your system because I didn't have any FreeBSD system available to me when I realized I had one at hand ;)

I delved into sed/regexp territory and realized where the problem stood: GNU sed, from a certain version onwards, extends the set of Basic Regular Expressions metacharacters with «\+», as do several other regular expression engines.
However, strictly speaking, as one can see here, that particular repetition should be expressed, under BRE specification, with the «\{1,\}» sequence.

So, I replaced the occurrences of «\+» with «\{1,\}» throughout the installer scripts, and checked with a FreeBSD sed to be sure.

Attached to this post you can find a patch, to be applied with a

Code:

---

patch -p1 < patch_file.txt

---

from the ZeXtras Suite installer directory.
After that the installer SHOULD run smoothly, but frankly I am not sure whether some other incompatibility will erupt at some other place, so, if you want, check it out and let us know ;) .

Regards,
Trantor
