[SOLVED] Installation fails at slapd

[bluelaguna]

I have been trying to install Zimbra 5rc1 using the Ubuntu binary, but the installation fails when it tries to initialize LDAP. This system is running Ubuntu 7.04 but I have successfully followed the directions in the WIKI to trick it into thinking it's 6. Here's what happens:

*** CONFIGURATION COMPLETE - press 'a' to apply

daemon: bind(7) failed errno=98 (Address already in use)
slap_open_listener: failed on ldap://audiobiblio.com:389

However, doing ps aux | grep ldap shows the process spawned by the installer. Modifying the permissions of slapd.conf prevents it from even starting in the first place. Any ideas?

Welcome to the forums,

ps auxx |grep zimbra

& then kill any left over services

Post your netstat -a

First check if you have another ldap instance running/installed.

If not, as root try running ./zmfixperms from /opt/zimbra/libexec/ when you reach the step "The system will be modified - continue?"

If it becomes a 99 post your hostsfile for us (/etc/hosts)

Thanks, that worked.

marking as solved
(which was it - another ldap or the fix perms?)

[bluelaguna]

I think the permission fixing script did the trick. I tried killing all the zimbra processes before but that didn't work.

welp, welcome to zimbra!

Turn off ldap.

[xcoi]

Thank you, but i uninstalled my openldap!
So,
ps -e | grep sldapd --> return null;

Well, did you update your hosts file the way the docs say?

can you cat /etc/hosts

The permission denied error isn't a file denied. It can't bind because it's in use or not available.

***Actually, I'm wrong. are you installing on Ubuntu 710 or some other crazy platform?
Did you try what mmorse said?
