Install Error on FC3

[jharrell]

-just a side thought-

why are passwords stored in clear text? Both in the install log and in the config log files the passwords are in clear text... knowing the structure in which they appear would make trivial to gain access to the server (that is of course with at the minimum read access to the tmp directory... most users have this though...)

Even though you say you killed slapd before the install it seems that it never fully came up on the new install.

Did you also do a "rm -rf /opt/zimbra" maybe there are some permission errors that are preventing slapd from correctly binding.

I asusme you've already checked your /etc/hosts file.

does "nslookup `hostname`" return the right host and IP?

What does "getconf GNU_LIBPTHREAD_VERSION" return?

Have you ran "yum update" to make sure your system is updated?

[jharrell]

Ok trying again... ran uninstall script... ran "rm -rf /opt/zimbra" just in case..

what is needed to be checked in: /etc/hosts ?
(there is a binding to the ip and the host name)

does "nslookup `hostname`" return the right host and IP?
yes - and double checked the router settings to make sure that port 80 is forwarded...
(btw how to I serve both the web site and zimbra if on seperate servers? which ports does Zimbra use? (I asume 80 25 143? http pop3 imap)

*What does "getconf GNU_LIBPTHREAD_VERSION" return?
NPTL 2.3.5

*Have you ran "yum update" to make sure your system is updated?
Yes - and running FC4 with the symlinks for ssl libs

[jharrell]

ok, I found it... somehow the network setup for the host was botched. It referenced the current server to get replaced and not the test server I was using with zimbra... now the services start up fine and no more errors (well critical ones at least) - but now when I try to tye on to the admin console at 7071 it shuts the mailbox service down and refuses the connection... I try to start the service back up (zmcontrol start mailbox) it starts back up... but still refuses the connection and then shuts down the service again...

thanks for all the help.

Can you post the Tomcat log of this happening?

/opt/zimbra/tomcat/catalina.out

[jharrell]

Tomcat is starting, however I cannot locate the log you are asking for.

jh

[jharrell]

here is the ls of the directory:

# ls
bin conf logs RELEASE-NOTES server temp work
common LICENSE NOTICE RUNNING.txt shared webapps


--- oh look at that it was under the diretory 'logs' - sorry..

here is the log:

Sorry I posted the wrong path. Looks like Tomcat can't bind to all the ports it needs. Can you confirm that these ports are all available: 7070, 7071, 7025, etc. Do you have anything else running on that box besides Zimbra?

[jharrell]

I'm not showing anything on those ports, here are all active ports:

PORT STATE SERVICE
22/tcp open ssh
80/tcp open http
111/tcp open rpcbind
139/tcp open netbios-ssn
443/tcp open https
445/tcp open microsoft-ds
3306/tcp open mysql
7075/tcp open unknown
7389/tcp open unknown
7777/tcp open unknown
8005/tcp open unknown
8009/tcp open ajp13
8080/tcp open http-proxy
10025/tcp open unknown
32769/tcp open unknown

Thanks again for the help...

80/443 are used by us. We accept HTTP/HTTPS there. Do you have a web server running?
