Zimlet Developers Guide:Troubleshooting
Common Problems and Solutions
Problem | Zimlet fails to deploy and FileNotFoundException in {zcs-install-dir}/log/mailbox.log .
|
Summary | The Zimlet failed to deploy and the zimlet definition file {zimlet-name}.xml could not be found in the zimlet package.
|
Solution #1 | Check that your zimlet ZIP package has the zimlet content at the top-level (i.e. directly in the ZIP). |
Solution #2 | Check that your zimlet name matches in the following locations:
<zimlet name={zimlet-name}” ... >
|
Solution #3 | If you create your zimlet ZIP archive on a Mac and use the “Compress” feature from the Mac UI, additional Mac-specific files (e.g. directory __MACOSX/* ) are added to the ZIP. Either remove these files manually or use the “zip” command line instead of Compress.
|
Solution #4 | Check that your zimlet name is all lower case. For example "com_zimbra_helloworld" is valid. "COM_zimbra_HelloWorld" is not. |
