Another installation ldap problem

[genesis]

Hello

I'm trying to install Zimbra on a fedora core 3 server and always get the same error : system failure: getDirectContext) (cause: javax.naming.CommunicationException localhost:389)
during the installation.
I've already checked other threads and ./install.sh -u then kill all ldap running process but installation still fails.
I've got a windows 2000 server running with active directory and "of course" DNS services.
I have tried install zimbra after creating a new "ldap service record" on my DNS (w2K)... but it always failed.

it seems to me that, for a reason i don't know, ldap resolution doesn't succeed.
Is it coming from hostname or localhost.localdomain settings ?
or from dns resolution settings ?
Thank you for your help....

When you're installing ldap, the hostname you set up for your server (first item in the config menu) must be resolveable via DNS.

You also have to have port 389 open in your firewall.

Try this:

after a failed installation, run /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmldapinit (as the zimbra user).

What happens?

Does ldap start? (ps auxww | grep slapd)

If it doesn't start - why not?

Thank you for your answer.

I have created a new dns record for my zimbra server and hostname is resolveable via dns from every computer on the network but when I do a ping "zimbra hostname" from the fedora server it resolve on 127.0.0.1.

I don't have any firewall on the LAN and didn't set any firewall with fedora installation.
I'm going to try what you suggest and let you know asap the results.

Hi

Have you made sure that your DNS is setup as per these instructions That will make sure your server is set-up correctly and can be seen by zimbra.

[bobby]

it's been mentioned here before that ping uses /etc/hosts. try running this:

$ dig a [zimbra hostname] # or
$ host [zimbra hostname]

those must return the local IP address of the machine. if you're planning to connect via localhost (i.e. 127.0.0.1), then zimbra must consider its hostname to be "localhost"

hmm.

hostname is resolveable via dns from every computer on the network but when I do a ping "zimbra hostname" from the fedora server it resolve on 127.0.0.1.

what's in /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/hosts?

here is the result of running /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmldapinit

and host [zimbra hostname] give me this : Host [zimbra hostname] not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

and dig a [zimbra.mydomain.local]

Any ideas ?

[genesis]

here the /etc/resolv.conf :

search mydomain.local
nameserver 192.168.10.122
~


and the /etc/hosts :
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.10.90 zimbra.mydomain.local zimbra

[marcmac]

install libbind and re-install zimbra.

[genesis]

I've totally re-install fedora core 3 including all bind services.
before installing ZCS I have checked name resolution with command host zimbra.mydomain.local and dig a zimbra.mydomain.local and both work fine.


I install ZCS I've got an error message at the end of installation process when trying to start zmcontrol.

It seems that I'm close to succeed but

here is the installation log :

what does zmldapinit return when you run it?
does slapd start? Why not?

Firewall running?
SELinux enabled?
