Installing Zimbra Source on Fedora

[KevinH]

This error means there is a problem with the server (service webapp) which can't start unless LDAP is there as it needs to get it's config from LDAP. So you need LDAP working and loaded by reset-the-world to get the rest of the parts to fall into place.

Kevin,
For LDAP, what all components I have to configure? There is sleepycat, cyrus and others that can be installed. Kindly let me know the minimum components that If I install with LDAP, the system shall start running.
Thanks

Well you have to compile or get a binary build of openldap. In general you shouldn't need to configure anything. Just need to get it running, set an admin password and get it to listen on port 389. The build will take care of creating a schema and loading all the Zimbra defaults.

[david75]

But the schema shall be created in sleepy cat dbms right?

[KevinH]

Well all reset-the-world will create all this for you. Sleppycat is just the underlying backend for Openldap and it's embedded. So it's not the normal RDMS type relationship. We provide the makefile needed to build openldap from source in our source distro.
