hi all, i having problems starting my zimbra server, here's the output error:

zimbra@mail:~/data/ldap/hdb/db$ zmcontrol start
Host mail.ipiscpt.rimed.cu
Starting ldap...Done.
Failed.
Failed to start slapd. Attempting debug start to determine error.
hdb_db_open: database "": db_open(/opt/zimbra/data/ldap/hdb/db/id2entry.bdb) failed: Invalid argument (22).

Thanks in advance

Does the file mentioned (/opt/zimbra/data/ldap/hdb/db/id2entry.bdb) exist? Are the permissions correct? (640 zimbra:zimbra)

[hrch]

yeah, that file exist and the permission are ok as you mention, the problem apper to be in the integrity of the ldap database, i need save this server in thsi state because the backup has 1 day old with one difference around 200 new users and changes in 100 accounts.

Thanks in advance

Have tried restore the ldap config from the latest backups?

1) zmcontrol stop

2) mv /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/hdb /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/hdb.OLD

3) mkdir -p /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/hdb/db /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/hdb/logs
3a) This maybe optional, but copy /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/hdb.OLD/db/DB_CONFIG to /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/hdb/db

4) cp ~/backup/sessions/latest-backup-2009xxxx.xxxxxx.xx/ldap/ldap.bak /tmp/ldap.bak

5) /opt/zimbra/openldap/sbin/slapadd -q -b "" -F /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/config -cv -l /tmp/ldap.bak

6) ldap start

If you can start ldap, you should be good to go.

you assume that I have a backup of yesterday? or I can do what you explain with the current installation?

Greetings and thanks for your response!

You might need to elaborate on your statement:

>>i need save this server in this state because the backup has 1 day old with one difference around 200 new users and changes in 100 accounts.

You are not running Network Edition, correct? You will need to elaborate on how you are saving the ldap config during backups.

If you have a current ldap.bak file, possibly in ~/data/ldap/, then you should be able to restore the ldap config

[hrch]

Well I was reviewing the contents of the directory looking for files you mention. , but it happens that the time stamps do not match the date of the disaster on my server are over 10 days, the backups that were exact copies to directory /opt/zimbra, and the only backup that funtion OK is that of the previous day the disaster, can i fix my server with these files .back with 10 days old? to restore?

Good explanation, helped alot!
Luckily, some ldap-backups were in the ldap-datadir.
Some wise dev. might have put them there automagically ;-)
