Centos 5 install how to apply changes

**timgerr** · 10-13-2008, 10:17 AM

Hello all, I am building my first Zimbra box and have a few questions on applying changes to the install config screen. Here is what I have:

Code:

Create Domain: [vhdA.danati.com] danati.com
        MX: vhdA.danati.com (72.52.242.117)

        Interface: 127.0.0.1

done.

Address unconfigured (**) items or correct ldap configuration  (? - help)

I have a valid doamin name in the DNS servers:

Code:

[root@phd1 tmp]# dig mx danati.com

; <<>> DiG 9.3.4-P1 <<>> mx danati.com
;; global options:  printcmd
;; Got answer:

Code:

[root@phd1 tmp]# nslookup vdha.danati.com

Non-authoritative answer:
vdha.danati.com canonical name = danati.com.
Name:   danati.com
Address: 72.52.242.116

It looks like I have the correct DNS information. I thought at the end of the config screen I need to hit "a" to apply the changes. Then the rest of the software will install. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you,

You have to select option 3 and set an admin password. That's why the "*" are showing up and it says UNSET. Once you do that you should be able to apply your changes and continue.

**timgerr** · 10-13-2008, 10:45 AM

I did that after opening this issue in the forum. How to I apply the config file? When I hit "q" it says "Quit without applying changes? [No]" . Do I tell it "yes" ?

Thanks for the help,

Remember I am still in my setup screen, I went to me /tmp folder and cat the isntall log, here is what I got.

Code:

Mon Oct 13 13:58:21 2008 Checking ldap on vhda.danati.com:389
Mon Oct 13 13:58:21 2008 failed: Unable to contact ldap at ldap://vhda.danati.co
m:389: Connection refused

Mon Oct 13 13:58:21 2008 checking isEnabled zimbra-snmp
Mon Oct 13 13:58:21 2008 zimbra-snmp is enabled

It says that Mon Oct 13 13:58:21 2008 failed: Unable to contact ldap at ldap://vhda.danati.com:389: Connection refused. When does this start? Here is my output for my iptables

Code:

 iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Not sure when I am prompted to apply the changes.

Thanks for the help,

So I saved it and went to /opt/zimbra/zmcontrol status and got this"

Code:

zmcontrol status
Unable to determine enabled services from ldap.
Unable to determine enabled services. Cache is out of date or doesn't exist.

timgerr

**timgerr** · 10-13-2008, 11:22 AM

Here is somting intresting, when I run

Code:

zmcontrol startup
Host localhost
Unable to determine enabled services from ldap.
Unable to determine enabled services. Cache is out of date or doesn't exist.

I see Host localhost, but here is my output of my hostfile

Code:

 cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
# Auto-generated hostname. Please do not remove this comment.
72.52.242.117 vhdA.danati.com vhdA

Should I take out the first line?

It's been a while since I've done an install, but what happens when you enter 's' to save config to file? Once you do that I think you do 'q' to quit and then the install will continue. I'm not sure about the messages you are seeing in the install log. Where are you running the 'iptables' from. Ideally you wouldn't want the firewall running on your Zimbra server.

**timgerr** · 10-13-2008, 11:25 AM

I have disable the iptables and shutdown the service.
