Zimbra wont start, only LDAP...

[redbaron]

Hi all,

I have CentOS5, on a 64bit (AMD) machine...

I installed Zimbra (4.5.6) using RPM's.
I configure it using this manual .
When I start Zimbra using the init script (/etc/init.d/zimbra start) only LDAP startup.
if I su to zimbra user and start mysql I get this error:

zmmyinit
* Creating required directories
* Generating mysql config /opt/zimbra/conf/my.cnf
* Creating database in /opt/zimbra/db/data
* Starting mysql server
* Failed to connect to mysql...retrying
* Failed to connect to mysql...retrying
* Failed to connect to mysql...retrying
 Failed to connect to mysql...giving up!

but I can see it running:

 ps -ef | grep mysql
zimbra     365     1  0 00:34 pts/3    00:00:00 /bin/sh /opt/zimbra/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe --defaults-file=/opt/zimbra/conf/my.cnf --ledir=/opt/zimbra/mysql/libexec
zimbra     435   365  0 00:34 pts/3    00:00:00 /opt/zimbra/mysql/libexec/mysqld --defaults-file=/opt/zimbra/conf/my.cnf --basedir=/opt/zimbra/mysql --datadir=/opt/zimbra/db/data --pid-file=/opt/zimbra/db/mysql.pid --skip-external-locking --port=7306 --socket=/opt/zimbra/db/mysql.sock

now, I can see ldap and mysql...
if I start tomcat I can see the java listening on port 8080 but I can't connect to it...

What I'm doing wrong?

That article is about a development environment for building from source, is that what you've done? If you have it's not the correct steps for installing Zimbra, you need to check for additional packages. If you've downmloaded from sourceforge and installed the vesion from there you will also find Zimbra doesn't work . Please search the forums for details of installing ZImbra on CentOS5 and read the Quick Start Guide for details of system requirements.

Hi

Thanks for the replay. I posted the wrong link to the manual I use, this is the manual I used.
Also it didn't work "out of the box".
I downloaded the 64bit version, untar it and try to install it using the install script and it failed, then I installed each RPM manually.
I downloaded the openssl097a-0.9.7a-9.x86_64.rpm and unwrap it using rpm2cpio. Then I copy the libcrypto.so.0.9.7a and libssl.so.0.9.7a to /opt/zimbra/lib/openssl and created a symbolic links to libcrypto.so.4 and libssl.so.4, then I add the path to /etc/ld.so.conf.d/zimbra.ld.conf...
About the link, my mistake, I used this manual and this one...

sendmail isn't working, I disable it from the rc directory.

zmcontrol  status

ps -ef | grep zimbra

I can't start zimbra and I secure this is something dumb nad I can't figure what...

What does your hosts file look like?
cat /etc/hosts ?

If you get a cannot determine services, then ldap isn't starting. It's little deceptive

try
ldap start

what do you get?

OK, this is the scary/wired part...
ldap works, or at least appear to work...

Okay-
Next, let's start mysql.server

mysql.server start

then you should be able to run zmmyinit
