LDAP Problem 5.0.5 - Will not Start

[randall]

I'm having a problem with LDAP after 5.0.5 upgrade. Here's the error message:

Host company.com
Starting ldap...Done.
FAILED
Failed to start slapd. Attempting debug start to determine error.
daemon: bind(7) failed errno=99 (Cannot assign requested address)
slap_open_listener: failed on ldap://company.com:389

Zimbra won't start anymore.

I would surely appreciate if anybody can help me resolve this problem.

Thank you very much in advance.

mail server died, ldap issue? bind?

Thanks for the reply uxbod. But I can't seem to get what was meant in that thread by this:

Ok, I seem to have fixed the problem by adding the main site to my hosts record.

I'm a little bit confuse.

Thanks again.

The follow-up question would be, what's in your /etc/hosts file?

[randall]

This is what I have in my /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.20.254 mail.company.com mail

Thanks for the reply.

Stop Zimbra using 'zmcontrol stop' and check if you have any zimbra services running, kill any services then try a restart. If all the services are stopped than what does the following return (run on the zimbra server):

host `hostname`  <-- type as-is and use backticks not single quotes
dig company.com mx
dig company.com any

post the output.

Just out of interest which operating system is this and which version of Zimbra did you upgrade from?
