Zimbra java not found error when reinstalling Zimbra

As my previous post on how to uninstall Zimbra on your mail server. Just like you, when I first did it, no problem happened.

But when I reinstalled Zimbra on the server itself. I have encountered a Java-related error. It looks like this.

I was initially puzzled as to why this error did not occur at the first installation. It only appeared after I uninstalled Zimbra and installed it.

There is something wrong with uninstalling Zimbra. And after a while of searching, I found the reason.

Fix java not found error when reinstalling Zimbra

I searched for information for a while and found that uninstalling Zimbra via the ./install.sh -u command will not completely uninstall the installed Zimbra packages on the server.

Because I’m using CentOS 7, so I use the following command to find zimbra packages still on the server.

[root@mail ~]# rpm -aq|grep zimbra
zimbra-openjdk-11.0.2-1zimbra8.8b1.el7.x86_64

As a result, the zimbra-openjdk package is still in the server. I need to remove it from the server.

Execute the following command to remove it from the server.

[root@mail ~]# rpm -e zimbra-openjdk

… means that log for this part is still there but I can’t copy it all in the article, because it’s too long.

And then, I did the Zimbra reinstallation and it succeeded. That’s it.

Conclusion

It’s just a small thing but can make us troubled. Anyway, this is the experience that I want to share with you, hope it helps you.
