mail server died, ldap issue? bind?

[violentpurr]

So, my clean install of zimbra was working well. till today, it died. looks like it's ldap.

tried to install 5.0.4 but that won't work.

tried this: [SOLVED] Expired Cert in 5.0GA can cause mail Delivery failure but when i entered the password for ldapmodify i got no response of any sort. so i tried anyway with the commands and ctl-d did nothing. had to ctl-c out.

so, what am i missing here?

from zimbra.log:
daemon: bind(7) failed errno=99 (Cannot assign requested address)
Mar 30 21:09:52 server1 slapd[19300]: slapd stopped.
Mar 30 21:09:52 server1 slapd[19300]: connections_destroy: nothing to destroy.

among other errors. but that seems to be, apparently, the problem. according to what i've read. but i can't find a working answer.

help?

post your /etc/hosts file

[violentpurr]

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
64.xxx.xxx.16 server1.mywebsite.net server1
64.xxx.xxx.16 mail.mywebsite.com mail

I recall a thread about /etc/hosts being the issue. but as far as I can tell, mine is correct? unless I'm missing something. It at least worked for quite a long time with this as the hosts file...

[violentpurr]

Ok, I seem to have fixed the problem by adding the main site to my hosts record. then I did an upgrade from 5.0.2 to .0.4 and all seems to be working.

So, is it "fixed" ? or will this happen again?

99's tend to be hostname/hosts file/DNS/or another LDAP instance running

I have the same error however I dont have another instance of ldap running..

any ideas?

su - zimbra
zmcontrol -v
host `hostname` <- note backticks and not double quotes

[geoffg]

mail:~# su - zimbra
zimbra@mail:~$ zmcontrol -v


Release 5.0.10_GA_2638.DEBIAN4.0 DEBIAN4.0

zimbra@mail:~$ host `hostname`
mail.company.com has address 208.xx.xxx.61
zimbra@mail:~$

Note, its a VPS running on Xen, if that makes any difference.
