Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) Shell Changes

 - This is archive documentation, which means it is not supported or valid for recent versions of Zimbra Collaboration.

The Zimbra install scripts use 'source'.

Newer versions of Ubuntu (I think Edgy was the first) use 'dash' as the shell which doesn't have 'source'.

You will come across errors in your install log like:

Creating SSL certificate...
*** Running as zimbra user: cd /opt/zimbra; zmcreatecert 

/opt/zimbra/bin/zmcreatecert: 27: source: not found
Done

Change to using 'bash' and run install.sh and things should work:

sudo mv /bin/sh /bin/sh-old
sudo ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh 

(You can also rm /bin/sh according to others)
