It is not just tied to the Ubuntu/Deb installer artifact, I meant.  I believe I had seen issues reported with that zenpack and the RPM installers, for example.  The issue with the zenpack installs through the UI failing, the original post in this thread, is specific to the .deb installer.

Are you trying to install the zenpack as a .zip or an .egg file?

i unzip the files manually and upload them as .egg... cmon now lets not get ridiculous, these

zenpacks were already uploaded, configured, and collecting/graphing data before the update....

1.4.2. ZenPacks

Beginning  with Release 2.5.0, ZenPacks in .zip format are deprecated. Refer to  the section titled "Creating ZenPacks" in Zenoss  Administration for instructions for creating ZenPacks in .egg format. (Defect 4350)

thats why I was asking.

I had the same issue.  Commands from the web UI would not work because the executables were not in the path.

Here's how I fixed it.

Edit /usr/local/zenoss/zenoss/scripts/ctl.sh

Change all occurrances of "su zenoss -c" to "su zenoss -l -c".

The relevant lines look like this for me after changing them:

su zenoss -l -c "$ZENOSS_START"
su zenoss -l -c "$ZENOSS_STOP"
su zenoss -l -c "$ZENOSS_STATUS"

The '-l' option causes su to create a login environment, which in turn executes the scripts necessary to set up the Zenoss paths.

Let me know if this helps!

We've refreshed the .deb installer with an updated package to address    path issues that were uncovered after the 2.5.2 release.  The Zenoss    version number remains 2.5.2, but the .deb archive has an updated    package number of 2.5.2-1.  We've tested upgrading with it and marked   this as the  fix for

http://dev.zenoss.com/trac/ticket/6250

http://dev.zenoss.com/trac/ticket/6260

If    you're using the .deb installer with Debian or Ubuntu and using the    Zenoss apt repository, you should be able to upgrade directly.  Direct  downloads of the .deb and future installs will use this version and  should upgrade cleanly.  We   apologize for any inconvenience, thanks  for helping us fix this.

Thanks,
