OK, Some updates....

I run the zmmyinit script in bash whit debug, and sew that there is a parameter "password=" that in the end of the script need to be changed, but I have MYSQL password, so I changed the script and added my password to the script (I know, bad idea, bad security).... and it worked !!!
(OK, I used this article to override mysql password )
now MySQL is running and the passwords in the output of this command "zmlocalconfig -s | grep mysql" and my passwords are the same...
testing:
/opt/zimbra/bin/mysqladmin -u root ping -p
Enter password:
mysqld is alive

after running zmmyinit finelly the passwords changed and MySQL start running. I can test the PING whit my passwords (from zmlocalconfig -s | grep mysql).

BUT, when I start zimbra by the zmcontrol, I get LDAP started, and that's it...
I can see it running from the command:

ps -ef | grep zimbra
zimbra   24752     1  0 22:59 ?        00:00:00 /opt/zimbra/openldap/libexec/slapd -l LOCAL0 -4 -u zimbra -h ldap://slinkilin.XXX.YYY:389 -f /opt/zimbra/conf/slapd.conf

I can start mysql and connect to it. But if I'll try to run any script like /opt/zimbra/bin/zmmailboxctl I'll get a complain about LDAP that is NOT RUNNING....
WHAT?! Why?!
What I'm missing ???

Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /opt/zimbra/db/data

ERROR: problem reading config from ldap. Make sure ldap is running.
[zimbra@slinkilin ~]$ zmcontrol status
Cannot determine services - exiting

Your trials and tribulations sound all too familiar. I have been struggling with what sounds like the same thing as you. Please keep the forum updated if you make any progress.

I have the same problem where ldap starts but no other services. I am in a different environment, specifically:
Debian 3.1 running in a vserver
I applied all the changes recommended for vservers on the wiki.

Although one thing I wasn't sure about:
"change
$inet_socket_bind = '127.0.0.1'; # limit socket bind to loopback interface
to
$inet_socket_bind = '10.11.12.5'; # no loopback in vserver, use rfc1918 internal ip bound to your vserver"

Any idea how to determine the rfc 1918 internal IP?

Hi,

There are no news, can someone help my whit this thing?
I'm going crazy whit this...

Only LDAP start (from init script), when I start Mysql from the command "mysql.server start" it starts, I can test it whit mysqladmin -u root ping -p
but zmmyinit fails...

Any ideas?
