[SOLVED] Zimbra upgrade failing (ldap won't start)

[bango]

I was previously running the 4.5.6 GA Ubuntu release for 6.06. I have that on my server (Ubuntu Edgy 6.06) and I'm trying to upgrade to the 4.5.9 GA release. I've backed up the /opt/zimbra directory and downloaded the 4.5.9 release. After doing so, I am running a ./install.sh. During the installation, the problem I continue to run into is that ldap won't start. I get a wide variety of errors including:

* Permission denied to the slapd.conf file
* ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)
* Address already in use

-- snip of errors --

-- end snip of errors -

As a result, I can't get the upgrade to install properly. I can, however, get a fresh install working just fine. I have no problems with that and would be more than willing to transfer the imap folder content via command line script from one server to the next, but that requires me to setup the old zimbra directory and get it working as a mail server, which I can't seem to do.

Suggestions? Any help would be awesome.

Thanks in advance.

Before you run the installer check to see if there's any other Zimbra processes running, if there is then kill them and try again. Please check the wiki article on LDAP Troubleshooting.

Did you ever get this problem resolved? I've been fighting the exact same issue for days. Going from 4.5.5_GA_838.UBUNTU6 to 4.5.9

The link to the article seems to be bad but I did find several others and nothing so far has worked. I did make backups so I at least can move back after I work on it for a few hours.

Thanks

The link to the article is fine, it works for me. Here it is again LDAP - Zimbra :: Wiki if you haven't seen it already.

Let's see some log information to show what the problem is. Have you checked that your DNS is OK? Do the following:

host `hostname`
dig yourdomain.com mx
dig yourdomain.com any

what does that reveal?

Well, it seems there was an upgrade from 6.06 to 6.10 done a few days ago. I didn't even think to look. Once I had that little tidbit of info I was able to do a search and find what I needed to get LDAP working. A bit of 'dash' in the mix to mess things up it seems. I'm still having problems with the link in the message but the actual LDAP trouble shooting entry is fine and contained the fix I needed.

Thanks
Jon

hm works just now for me (shrugs) though you should be able to browse to http:// wiki.zimbra.com then search 'ldap' if you need as well

I'm gonna mark this thread resolved, as bango has newer posts that would suggest he's running fine. ([SOLVED] Rolling Your Own CA and Installing Certificates in Zimbra)
Bango, do let us know if this isn't the case however!
