Zimbra wont start

[slott_hansen]

I managed to install the zimbra on my FC3 macine without any errors or warnings. But after the install has finished my apache is no longer responing on port 80 and zimbra gives this error when starting it form the command line:

[root@chicago msh]# /etc/init.d/zimbra start
Calling startup (localhost.localdomain)

perl /opt/zimbra/bin/zmmon &

So my question is - why happend to port 80 and what is zimbra trying to tell me ?

[slott_hansen]

It says it cant locate the file DBI.so which is nonsens. When I do simple ll to the "missing" file I get this:

-r-xr-xr-x 1 zimbra zimbra 223190 Aug 24 00:25 /opt/zimbra/zimbramon/lib/i386-linux-thread-multi//auto/DBI/DBI.so


Before failing I can see the following in my message log:
Sep 28 15:05:26 localhost zimbramon[9893]: 9893:info: Starting services
Sep 28 15:05:26 localhost zimbramon[9893]: 9893:info: STARTING ldap
Sep 28 15:05:26 localhost zimbramon[9893]: 9893:info: start service ldap

Sep 28 15:05:26 localhost zimbramon[9893]: 9893:info: Starting child ldap: (20050928150526)

and then 2 min. later it fails...

I just tried to execute the following statement manually:

perl /opt/zimbra/bin/zmmon &

and now something is happening...

[root@chicago ~]# /etc/init.d/zimbra status
Calling GetServiceInfoRequest (localhost.localdomain)

ERROR: service.FAILURE (system failure: getDirectContext) (cause: javax.naming.CommunicationException localhost.localdomain:389)

Sounds like LDAP (slapd) is not running. Can you check for that (ps -ef | grep slapd). If it's there then try to telnet to port 389 to see if it bound.

[slott_hansen]

Sure enough - ldap was missing from the system.

I have now done a "yum install openldap-servers.x86_64" and started it like this:
root@chicago lib]# /etc/init.d/ldap start
Checking configuration files for : config file testing succeeded
Starting slapd: [ OK ]


but still my zimbra refuses to start and gives me this error

[marcmac]

We ship openldap with ZCS, so you don't need to install it - the problem here is, the ZCS slapd server didn't start for some reason.

Can you post your install.log (in /tmp) to look for ldap errors?

Also - the zimbra installation is redirecting port 80 to the tomcat server, which will break your apache install. Search the forums for iptables to find a fix.
