Zimbra is very popular free and open source email collaboration solution and often compared to microsoft exchange. Upgrade Zimbra is very easy but we need to take it carefully, a single mistake can destroy your entire mail data. Zimbra 8.7.9 has been released at 11th May 2017 with some bug fixes and few improvements. Currently I used Zimbra version 8.7.3 and it’s quite old, so I’ll upgrade Zimbra to 8.7.9. My existing Zimbra running on CentOS 7 (latest) 64bit with 6 cpu and 16GB memory and 1TB disk storage, small Zimbra server for small development. I’ll upgrade the OS before installing Zimbra 8.7.9 on this machine and download Zimbra 8.7.9 public mirror.
# yum update -y # wget -c http://cermin.bagiwae.com/zimbra/8.7.9_GA/zcs-8.7.9_GA_1794.RHEL7_64.20170505054622.tgz
After the update and download Zimbra 8.7.9 completed, we can continue to upgrade Zimbra.
Extract the Zimbra source file and start the installation upgrade:
# tar -zxvf zcs-8.7.9_GA_1794.RHEL7_64.20170505054622.tgz # cd zcs-8.7.9_GA_1794.RHEL7_64.20170505054622
Then, run the installer script:
#./install.sh
And you will get an interactive installation process, please see below:
