Connecting to the server

[fredo]

Hello,

I'm using Fedora Core 4 and i've just installed Zimbra and the installation was successful bar two errors i've encountered. Those errors were :

adding xxx.com to zimbraMailHostPool in default COS...ERROR: service.FAILURE(system failure:getDirectContext) (cause:javax.naming.CommunicationException xxx.com:389)

Apart from these the installation was deemed successful as the other processes completed without any hitch. I suspect that there may be an issue with DNS.

Now, i'm trying to connect to the admin login screen through my browser by typing http://domain.com:7071/ but can't access the service.

I've checked my services and Zimbra is started and running. Any ideas as to why i can't access the admin page ?

Cheers

Thanks mate. I've killed slapd as stated in the wiki & am now restarting the installation.

Re-installed Zimbra but can't access my server remotely. eg http://my.domain.com:7071/

It's something to do with DNS and to be fair, it's causing me nightmares despite reading some of the tutorials on this site.

I only want Zimbra to provide POP3/SMTP to enable users within my network to send/retrieve mails from my webhosts remote server.

I have configured my server's DNS record as srv.domain.com. Any ideas why i can't access it ?

When typing [zimbra@srv]$ zmcontrol status i get the following

Host srv.domain.com
antispam Running
antivirus Running
ldap Running
logger Running
mailbox Stopped
mta Running
snmp Running
spell Running

Only my mailbox services isn't running.

To connect to the admin console you need to use https and not http.

Have you tried doing a zmcontrol stop then start? Does the service still show as stopped? If it does, is there anything in the logs?

[fredo]

Yes i know that it's a SSL connection

Now i've tried zmcontrol start and zmcontrol stop then checked if all the services were running with zmcontrol status and the mailbox service was still stopped.

Still can't connect through the web admin by typing : https://ipaddressofmachine:7071/

All other services except the mailbox are running fine.

what do you get for "host srv.domain.com"? are you trying to connect to the server from outside the lan?

what is the output of this also:

su - zimbra
sh -x ~/bin/zmmailboxctl status

I'm actually trying to access the web admin console from my laptop to my server from inside the LAN. (srv.domain.com)

The output that i get by typing sh -x ~/bin/zmmailboxctl status is :

[zimbra@srv etc]$ sh -x ~/bin/zmmailboxctl status
+ BASE=/opt/zimbra
+ SCRIPTS='zmmtaconfigctl tomcat mysql.server'
+ STATUS=0
+ case "$1" in
+ for i in '$SCRIPTS'
+ '[' zmmtaconfigctl = mysql.server ']'
+ /opt/zimbra/bin/zmmtaconfigctl status
+ R=0
+ '[' 0 -ne 0 ']'
+ for i in '$SCRIPTS'
+ '[' tomcat = mysql.server ']'
+ /opt/zimbra/bin/tomcat status
+ R=1
+ '[' 1 -ne 0 ']'
+ STATUS=1
+ for i in '$SCRIPTS'
+ '[' mysql.server = mysql.server ']'
+ /opt/zimbra/bin/mysqladmin status
+ R=0
+ '[' 0 -ne 0 ']'
+ exit 1

I'm still stuck as to why i can't access the admin panel.

Tomcat is not running. Check /opt/zimbra/tomcat/logs/catalina.out
