Local zimbra mail server

[quangphuong68]

Hello all,

I am trying to set up a single zimbra mail server. I finished to install and configure it but I still have trouble with ldap every time I tried to do zmcontrol start, I get the below message

[zimbra@server root]$ zmcontrol start
Host server.test.com
Starting ldap...Done.
FAILED
Failed to start slapd. Attempting debug start to determine error.
daemon: bind(7) failed errno=99 (Cannot assign requested address)
slap_open_listener: failed on ldap://server.test.com:389

I did a lot of research on the internet about ldap but none of them helped me to solve my problem. Below are the output of cat /etc/hosts, cat /etc/resolv.conf, dig server.test.com mx and dig server.test.com any

[zimbra@server root]$ cat /etc/hosts
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
205.178.152.27 server.test.com server
# ::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6


[zimbra@server root]$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
; generated by /sbin/dhclient-script
search test.com
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 127.0.0.1

[zimbra@server root]$ host `hostname`
server.test.com has address 205.178.152.27


[zimbra@server root]$ dig server.test.com mx

Please take a look at my output and show me how to fix my problems. I am new on zimbra mail server. My single zimbra mail server is on local and did not connect it to our network yet because I would like to see if it works or not before I place it on our network. Thank you very much for your helps.

You can fix it yourself by installing a Split DNS, this subject and the error you've shown above have been covered many times in these forums and the wiki article (and the documentation) tells you exactly what's needed.
