LDAP password

[jimbo]

Need some help!

I'm trying to get Zimbra working after a restore and the startup fails when starting ldap. It's prompting for the ldap password. I have no idea what it is and can't find any saved configuration files from the original install.

I've tried changing the ldap password with:

zmldappasswd --root newpass
zmldappasswd newpass

but it just prompts me for the password when I type that command.

How do I fix this?

edit: The output of the first command is:

Updating local config
Stopping ldap
slapd not running
Updating ldap configuration
Starting ldap
Password:

[jholder]

Are you trying to simply start zimbra?

Yes, when I run zmcontrol start it begins to start the ldap service and prompts for a password:

 Starting ldap...Password:

[jholder]

Are you running zmcontrol start as Zimbra or Root?

Not sure it matters though. I think it's a FS Permissions issue.

A bit more info...

I seem to get this in /var/log/messages when running "service zimbra restart"

"authentication failure; logname=james uid=0 euid=0 tty=pts/1 ruser= rhost= user=zimbra"

so could this be a problem with the zimbra user? I didn't think there was a password set for this user?

Solved:

I fixed the /etc/sudoers file and pointed the path references there to the appropriate postfix version directory
