Resetting Permissions¶

If you are up and running now, you may have one more hurdle to overcome: permissions.

You may need to reset the permissions on the message store by running the following:

>/opt/zimbra/libexec/zmfixperms

Disaster Recovery¶

In the unfortunate event of losing your complete server or installation, the following will get you up and running.

This has been tested successfully on v5.0.5

• The machine you are recovering to must have the same hostname as the original machine.
• Once you have your OS and all pre-requisites installed. Download and install Zimbra as normal.
• Once Zimbra is installed, stop all Zimbra services and move/rename the /opt/zimbra folder:

sudo -u zimbra /opt/zimbra/bin/zmcontrol shutdown
mv /opt/zimbra /tmp/zimbra-old

• Uncompress the most recent backup file to the /opt/zimbra folder
  

  mkdir /opt/zimbra
  tar zxvf [backup file] -C /opt/zimbra
  

  
  or if you prefer...
  

  tar zxvf [backup file] -C /tmp/zimbra-backup
  cp -Rp /tmp/zimbra-backup /opt/zimbra
  

• Fix the Zimbra permissions
  

  chown -R zimbra:zimbra /opt/zimbra
  /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmfixperms
  

• Restart all Zimbra services
  

  sudo -u zimbra /opt/zimbra/bin/zmcontrol startup
  zmcontrol startup
