How do you enable debug mode on a Zimbra server?
To enable debug mode, first stop Zimbra services with 'zmcontrol stop'. Then backup and replace the zmmailboxdmgr file with its unrestricted version. Add JVM debug options via 'zmlocalconfig -e mailboxd_java_options' including the JDWP agent listening on port 8000. Disable the firewall with 'ufw disable' and restart Zimbra services.
