error: "Unable to determine enabled services from ldap."

[lowlow]

Hi all,

I'm yet struggling for some time with this error:

zimbra@zimbraserv:/$ zmcontrol status
Unable to determine enabled services from ldap.
Unable to determine enabled services. Cache is out of date or doesn't exist.

I get the same error with zmcontrol start.

The problem lies with LDAP.
I uninstalled and reinstalled Zimbra (also removed some dir's as I read here on this forum somewhere - the do a FULL uninstallation). I tried installing without LDAP and still getting the LDAP error.

Seems that it started after a reboot. It worked fine for a few days. Of course, for the moment, I cannot reach the webclient or Admin Console.

Thanks in advance!

This is most probably a DNS issue so please post the following

cat /etc/hosts
cat /etc/resolv.conf
dig yourdomain mx
dig yourdomain any
host `hostname` <- note backticks and not single quotes

and so we know which version of ZCS you are running

su - zimbra
zmcontrol -v

Thanks for your reply; here are the results:

And about the version

zimbra@zimbraserv:/root$ zmcontrol -v


Release 5.0.13_GA_2791.DEBIAN4.0 DEBIAN4.0

[uxbod]

You need to replace yourdomain with your actual domain As you appear to be on a private IP have you setup a Split DNS - Zimbra :: Wiki architecture ?

Your /etc/hosts is also incorrect as you do not have a localhost entry as per the Installation documentation.

Thx. I will have a look at the splits-DNS thing. But as a matter a fact, it worked fine before? I'm running Zimbra in a Openvz container .0.93 and I have a DNS server in another container at .0.92, in the same subnet.

[uxbod]

Well you are missing your A and MX records then in the other container.

Thanks. But how exactly can I solve this?

On my nameserver I find this file. Maybe it should be configurated elsewhere?

File: /etc/bind/impactweb.***.be.hosts

[uxbod]

You have two servers listed in /etc/resolv.conf and according to your first dig in queried 192.168.0.2. As it would appear from your zone the main DNS server is on IP 192.168.0.92 then remove the other entry from resolv.conf.

[lowlow]

I removed the .0.2 nameserver ?

zimbra@zimbraserv:/root$ zmcontrol start
Host localhost
Unable to determine enabled services from ldap.
Unable to determine enabled services. Cache is out of date or doesn't exist.
zimbra@zimbraserv:/root$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
search impactweb.XXX.be
nameserver 192.168.0.92

I guess I still have to add the A and MX record somewhere in my BIND DNS server. But the matter is, how exactly? Thx

[uxbod]

You have your domain listed in DNS as zimbra.impactweb.***.be is that correct ? As you are searching impactweb.***.be and you have called your server zimbra.impactweb.***.be.

You need to decide what domain your ZCS installation is going to accept email for and then we can start working from that point.
