Zimbra will not start.

[myles]

Hello I am using Zimbra 4.5.0_GA_612.FC4_20070115195933 FC4 on Fedora Core 4 and I am having problems starting it. When I use zmcontrol to start the server it starts the ldap and nothing else.

[zimbra@mail ~]$ zmcontrol start
Host mail.monkeyinyoursoul.com
        Starting ldap...Done.

After much trouble I tried reinstalling Zimbra and I get this error:

The system will be modified.  Continue? [N] Y

Shutting down zimbra mail

Backing up ldap

bdb_db_open: unclean shutdown detected; attempting recovery.
bdb_db_open: Recovery skipped in read-only mode. Run manual recovery if errors are encountered.

Please note that I have force zimbra and slapd to stop. Nothing that Zimbra uses is running.

Update: the zimbra /tmp/install.9026 file says:

COMMAND: zmlocalconfig -s | sed -e "s/ = \(.*\)/=\'\1\'/" > /opt/zimbra/.saveconfig/config.save

I think there's more going on here. Did you have a power failure while ZCS was running?

In any case, try this:
ldap start

and let's see if it starts. . . .

No, but I did have to force a reboot.

It starts but I cannot access it though telnet.

How do you know it starts? Is there something in the log?

[myles]

It is more of a guess than anything.

[zimbra@mail ~]$ ps -A | grep sla
 6605 ?        10:05:26 slapd
[zimbra@mail ~]$

Let's make sure it's the zimbra ldap

ps auxx | grep zimbra

is ldap in there?

Yes I think so.

You mentioned that you could not telnet to LDAP.

Is this because you were running:
telnet localhost 389 ?

If so, you need to telnet to:
telnet mail.monkeyinyoursoul.com:389

I still cannot telnet into ldap with telnet mail.monkeyinyoursoul.com:389 and mail.monkeyinyoursoul.com 389

What does netstat -a return?
