Could someone from Zextras give is some feedback or hint on what's causing the current spate of problems with ZCS installs/updates. As usual the response from Zimbra is a resounding silence. I, for one, now have a dead server and I've not been able to resurrect it - is this a build problem or is it a bug(s) in the recent updates.

Hi @phoenix,

as you noticed zimbra has released P25 and this patch seems to have a lot o problem, yesteday they suggest to hold off all the download to this patch and blocked all te connection to their repo.

I suggest you to follow this page : https://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/Zimbra_Releases/9.0.0/P25

After that you need to wait that zextras release the new version that allow you to upgrade or install it to P25.

Hi

Yes, I know all about the problems and the current poor state of the patch release. My question was intended to be about what, exactly, was causing the problems.

I've been a user of Zimbra since it was released in 2005 so I do know my way around the product but I don't do this for a living and I'm not an admin or developer just a plain old user - hence my questions.

My problem with this sort of situation is the fact that Zimbra have almost no interaction with the Community, just look at the fact the patch details and the subsequent warning was posted in the wiki. IMO, that just shows the total lack of interest Zimbra has for keeping us informed.

Hi,

Zimbra on RHEL7 is running well now.
Using RHEL8 I got the same bug anymore.

Thanks a lot to  zextras for providing Zimbra.
