Installation Fail Under User Account

[rolo]

Error when trying to run Zimbra after changing file permissions in /opt/zimbra/ is:

Code: Select all

cp: preserving times for '/opt/zimbra/zdesktop/linux/node-webkit/package.json': Operation not permitted


And then the terminal just hangs.

Thanks

Which JRE you have on your m/c? Is it openJDK/oracle? What is the version?

[rolo]

I have tried in the install with both installs. Same issues arise when attempting to install to the user profile.

I don't believe it is a Java issue, but I only say that as an assumption.

Hi rolo,

I am experiencing the same issue on the latest Centos 7 packages. Did you manage to get anywhere and find a solution? The way I see it, you are following the instructions the same way as I am:
- Installing Zimbra Desktop as root
- Installing the user directories as root.

I will keep trying and let you know if I find something.

Best wishes,

Stefan

ok, got the installation to work. Steps:
1. Add user to group zimbra.
2. Install/reinstall Zimbra Desktop as root
3. Run data setup script as user

Now when starting I get the error message:
"localconfig.xml zimbra_admin_service_port not updated by jetty !"

Let's see how to solve that one

[sb0373]

ok, I cheated. I commented out both exit commands in /opt/zimbra/zdesktop/linux/zdrun.sh and I am now able to start Zimbra Desktop

[dberry]

Did you get this going?

I had the same error:
Installing user data files...done
Initializing user data...Error: cannot open file /opt/zimbra/zdesktop/linux/zdrun.pl.tmp

[dberry@dberry ~]$ ls -ld /opt/zimbra/zdesktop/linux
drwxrwxr-x. 3 1000 gcc 4096 Apr 10 05:43 /opt/zimbra/zdesktop/linux

The installer is using UID/GID 1000 for that folder (there is a group (gcc) on my system with GID 1000). My user (dberry) did not have write permission to that folder. I tried to get around it by changing permissions, and got further:

[root@dberry ~]# chmod -R o+w /opt/zimbra/zdesktop/linux

Installing user data files...done
Initializing user data...done
Creating desktop icon...done
Zimbra Desktop has been installed successfully for user dberry.

You can start Zimbra Desktop by double-clicking the desktop icon or by running the following command:
"/opt/zimbra/zdesktop/linux/zdrun.pl"

Press "Enter" to launch Zimbra Desktop; Press "Ctrl-c" to exit:

That error was coming from the perl script:

Copying that file as my user then allowed zdesktop to start:

Hi,

I am new to Zimbra.
Have installed Zimbra Desktop on Version Linux Mint 18.2 Sonya 64-bit.
I have no firewall on and no no antivirus on.

I have a similar error, as the log below shows.

Any idea ?
Thank you.

Emmanuel.

Rob, did you ever get this to work?

I have been pulling my hair trying to get Zimbra Desktop installed on 64bit version of both a Ubuntu 16.04LTS and a Mint Mate 18.3 system with absolutely no success. Something is either wrong with the installation instructions or more likely the scripts being used to do the install.

Like you, the install of the software seems to go ok, but when I try to install the user files under a non-privileged account nothing seems to work. It looks like permissions or something, but I cannot figure it out. I have done everything EXACTLY as specified in the installation guide for 64bit Linux systems as specified in the Zimbra Desktop 7.3.1 guide dated August 2017.

Any help from anybody would be appreciated.

Greg ...

Try to give your current user the ownership of the /opt/zimbra/ folder, it worked for me beautifully:

chown user:user /opt/zimbra/ -R
