Platform Specific

64 Bit OS

ZCS will run on RHEL 4 x86_64, with 32bit compat installed. Some work is required to make the Zimbra perl scripts function though. The perl modules included with Zimbra are 32bit. Change the Zimbra users Perl @INC var and make sure all the needed modules are available in the RHEL 64bit Perl install.

Virtual Machine

Red Hat

The install on RHEL4 x86_64 fails while trying to find libstdc++. To get past this, I changed line 947 of the script "utilfunc.sh" in the util directory. The line looked like:

PREREQ_LIBS="/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5"

I changed it to:

PREREQ_LIBS="/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6"

Also you could fix this with a Symbolic Links eg. "ln -s /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.5"

However, once I got things installed, I'm stuck right now on the initialization at the end of the install. slappasswd is upset because it can't find libssl and libcrypto, which are installed in /lib64 on the x86_64 platform. I'll update this when I get past this hurdle.

The same fix can be used here. eg. "ln -s /usr/lib64/libssl.so.6 /usr/lib/libssl.so.5" You only need to change this command to work on your install

Fedora Core 5 x86_64

This is an install of zimbra-core-4.5.0_RC1_522.RHEL4_64-20061219094121.x86_64.rpm on FC5 x86_64.

You need to have the following installed:

  • compat-db for zimbra-spell
  • openssl097a for zimbra-ldap
  • compat-libstdc++-296

Below is the change required to make the installer happy with the prerequisites and to allow all services to start up. I also fixed some indentation. This is only tested on FC5.

The goal is to add some package prereqs for Fedora Core later than 2 and to use use libstdc++.so.6 instead of .5 in Fedora Core 5, but the platform string "FC5_64" did not match the check for FC5. I don't know that this is appropriate for FC4 and FC3.

General

If the mta won't start, make sure that the libraries are being found:

 postfix start

If you get errors like:

 /opt/zimbra/postfix-2.2.5/sbin/postsuper: error while loading shared libraries: libldap-2.2.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
 /opt/zimbra/postfix-2.2.5/sbin/postalias: error while loading shared libraries: libldap-2.2.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
 /opt/zimbra/postfix-2.2.5/sbin/postfix: error while loading shared libraries: libldap-2.2.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Verify that /etc/ld.so.conf contains:

 /opt/zimbra/lib
 /opt/zimbra/sleepycat/lib
 /opt/zimbra/openldap/lib
 /opt/zimbra/cyrus-sasl/lib

then run ldconfig (as root).

Debian

Mac OS X

Mac OS X ships with Java (so Zimbra does not include it for Mac releases), but the default version - even if 1.5 is installed - is 1.4.

Check the default: ls -l /usr/bin/java.

Check whether 1.5 is installed here: /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/.

If not, download it from Apple. Once it's installed, you can specify the preferred order of the versions in the Java Application Settings of the Java Preferences utility found in /Applications/Utilities/Java/J2SE 5.0.

You can also make /usr/bin/java a symlink to /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Commands/java but this may break any apps using 1.4.

You can verify that java 1.5 is available to zimbra like this:

su - zimbra
java -version
