[SOLVED] Zmsetservername choking on ldap database

[Emmanuel Kasper]

Hello
I am trying to rename a Zimbra installation from "zimbra" to "zimbra.openforce.com" using the zmsetservername command. I want to have a FQDN zmhostname to make amavis and friends happy.
Unfortunately it seems that the command has some problem with the ldap database.
The output of zmsetservername ends with:

adding new entry "uid=zimbra.openforce.com,cn=admins,cn=zimbra.open force.com"

ldapadd: Invalid syntax (21)
additional info: objectClass: value #0 invalid per syntax
adding new entry "cn=zimbra.openforce.com"

adding new entry "uid=zimbra.openforce.com,cn=admins,cn=zimbra.open force.com"


When I restart zimbra, all processes start fine, exect the mailbox daemon. Looking at /opt/zimbra/log/mailbox.log I see

2009-10-06 17:27:53,317 FATAL [main] [] system - Could not find an LDAP entry fo
r server 'zimbra.openforce.com'

I had a look at the content of the ldap database, but well there quite a few with the string zimbra inside ...
Which one do I have to change to make the mailbox server happy ?

I believe it is looking for an entry like "cn=zimbra.openforce.com,cn=servers,cn=zimbra" in LDAP. What entries exist currently under "cn=servers,cn=zimbra" ?

we are the same
When I try:
ZmSetServerName -n my.domain.com
to change my server name, every thing is ok, except:
when I start server, it says that can't start ldap service

@dalmate: we have a different problem
On my setup, after using ZmSetServerName, the ldap database is starting properly, only I miss some content.
Please have a look at LDAP - Zimbra :: Wiki and open a different thread if <our database does not start.

@ArcaneMagus

indeed i miss a server entry below "cn=servers,cn=zimbra"

original status, on the productiver server

grep cn=server /tmp/ldap.ldif 
dn: cn=servers,cn=zimbra
dn: cn=zimbra,cn=servers,cn=zimbra

after zmsetservername. on the test server

grep "cn=servers" /tmp/ldap.ldif
dn: cn=servers,cn=zimbra

hum this missing ldap entry contains quite a lot of information actually. Should I try to copy it from the original ldif ? Looks like a scary thing to do.

[ArcaneMagus]

Well... it is a test server so if something screws up you can revert it, not sure how that whole entry disappeared but it is necessary because as you said, it contains a lot of information...

[Emmanuel Kasper]

So i added the missing ldap entry ( copied from the ldap tree before running zmsetservername ) on both test and production servers and it worked. the mailbox daemon start und works !

[ArcaneMagus]

Glad to hear that worked for you, still is rather bizarre that it disappeared in the first place.
