Check whether the tomcat alias still exist in the keystore, you can check with this command

keytool -list -keystore /opt/zimbra/mailboxd/etc/keystore -storepass  `zmlocalconfig -s -m nokey mailboxd_keystore_password`

If the above command returns two aliases (tomcat and jetty), please delete the tomcat alias with this command

keytool -delete -alias tomcat -keystore /opt/zimbra/mailboxd/etc/keystore -storepass `zmlocalconfig -s -m nokey mailboxd_keystore_password`

If there are any errors from the above command, please send it to us (support@zimbra.com).
