[Zimbra 4.5.0_RC1] Pre release of svn ebuild

rmh3093 · Last edited by rmh3093 on Sat Dec 16, 2006 2:37 pm; edited 15 times in total

I decided to try an tackle the task of getting Zimbra to build from source on a Gentoo system instead of using a chroot to run debian binaries. I don't have any prior experience with java webpages and sevlets are definitely a new concept for me. I've started an overlay where I will update the ebuilds as I make progress. There are many ways to setup zimbra (eg. tomcat w/ or w/o apache) with gentoo so if you have any constructive comments I would like to hear them. The ebuild doesn't do much yet, but I though I would get it out there for anyone that wants to help.

alright as of right now the ebuild will compile zimbra and copy all of the built crap into a directory.... if anyone has any experience setting up webapps and can help me put all the config files correct places that would be very appreciated

the zimbra dev update that repo all day long, so its possible they just broke something..... i will have a new ebuild in a few about an hour you can try

EDIT: i just tried rev469 and it fails also on my machine so the zimbra devs must have broke this... i will try force rev468 since that worked for me last night

the patch is simple !!

in /zimbra/trunck/ZimbraServer/src/java/com/zimbra/cs/mailbox/Pop3Import.java

where

DbPop3Message.storeUid(mbox, ds, folder.getUID(pop3Msg), (... etc etc)

change in

DbPop3Message.storeUid(mbox, ds.getId(), folder.getUID(pop3Msg), (... etc etc)

Ok emerge work !!

i do the database creation ...

and now ? how work ?

(i have /opt/zimbra/..)

Thanks

rmh3093 · Posted: Fri Dec 15, 2006 3:17 pm Post subject:

cp /opt/zimbra/tomcat/conf/* /etc/tomcat-5.5/

in /opt/zimbra/tomcat/webapps/ is "zimbra.war", you need to deploy that with tomcat "localhost:7070"

the user/pass for the manager is zimbra/zimbra

once in the manager find the deploy war section and load up that zimbra.war file

thats about as far as I am now

Ok zimbra.war deployed (i have already tomcat-5.5 up e running for other application)

and now i have the zimbra login page !!

So now we have to configure all the backend ? right ?

(configure openldap and mysql )

rmh3093 · Posted: Fri Dec 15, 2006 3:40 pm Post subject:

yeah ldap, postfix, mysql need to get configured.... still trying to figure out all that mess... somewhere in /opt/zimbra should be all the config files

why "mbox" use flag necessary ?

rmh3093 · Posted: Fri Dec 15, 2006 4:55 pm Post subject:

no it probably not necessary but it definitely shouldn't break anything existing on your system, i will get rid of that requirement for now its required

ok "mbox" use flag online and postfix work like before !!

Now , i'm trying to configure zimbra for openldap.

I have now a openldap configured for open-exchange, (that work very well)
so i add schema needed by zimbra and reload slapd
(in /schema dir i add zimbra.schema, and modify slapd.conf) all ok.

My problem are with rootdn ,
now i have a different rootdn for my openldap server
(zimbra use -> rootdn="uid=zimbra,cn=admins,cn=zimbra")

How to configure in the emerge process my rootdn intead of manualy replace in all file (of the zimbra build) the string "uid=zimbra,cn=admins,cn=zimbra" with my rootdn ?

rmh3093 · Posted: Sat Dec 16, 2006 2:05 pm Post subject:

check out _pre3, i can actually start slapd now, but ldap still isnt initialized right cause I cant log in yet.... also the admin page dosent seem to load properly yet... im guessing that has to do with cert as well

with regards to your existing set up... i have only dealt with ldap once in my life, I got some gentoo boxes to authenticate to a active directory server... so I wont be much help for you i think w/ respect to ldap, im doing lots of reading trying to get all of this working.... we need some experts to step in here now

Ok , now i'm on pre4.

I see new better tree of /opt/zimbra !!

So i try to launch "su - zimbra -c /opt/zimbra/bin/zmcontrol start"

su - zimbra -c /opt/zimbra/bin/zmcontrol
Can't locate Zimbra/Util/Common.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /opt/zimbra/zimbramon.8/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/vendolib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.85/site_perl/5.8.6/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /opt/zimbra/bin/zmcontrol line 40.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /opt/zimbra/bin/zmcontrol line 40.

so we need to install
/usr/portage/distfiles/svr-src/zimbra/trunck/ZimbraBuild/lib/Zimbra

in some path area ..

What you suggest ?

massimo71 · n00b Joined: 31 Mar 2005 Posts: 15 Location: Italia (PN)

i put on /opt/zimbra/zimbramon/lib

so now :

Release package zimbra-core is not installed

/opt/zimbra/bin/zmcontrol [-v -h -H <host>] command [args]

-v: display version
-h: print usage statement
-H: Host name (localhost)

Command in:
maintenance Toggle maintenance mode
shutdown Stop services
start Start services
startup Start services
status Display service status
stop Stop services

look at source we need : get_plt_tag.sh that i found on svn and put on /opt/zimbra/libexec
but we have to modify for be gentoo specific ...
Help!!

Using pre4 from layman I had the use flags
dspam spell zimlets -amavisd -clamav -perdition -sasl
and it generated errors for some of the built_with_use for applications which weren't dependencies with those use flags.

So I updated the pkg_setup() function as follows. emerging now - no idea if it's successful yet.

Cheers,

Alan.

The ssl-cert patch is failing with the svn sources now.

Would be handy if Zimbra released tarballs - speed up the download and mean it isn't a moving target.

EDIT: ok - I tried removing the ssl-cert patch and the gentoo_confs patch also fails. I didn't bother removing this one and trying as I'd expect this would be a pretty serious breakage to the package.

Cheers,

Alan.

hi rmh3093,

Just thought I'd let you know Zimbra are quite responsive on their forums.

I've broached the subject of providing tarballs with releases with them http://www.zimbra.com/forums/showthread.php?p=35233&posted=1#post35233

Perhaps you could join the conversation as you're more familiar with building zimbra on gentoo than I am.

Cheers,

Alan.
