initializing ldap...FAILED(256)ERROR

[bobby]

what os is the machine running? i mean...dude, it looks like you're trying to install the rhel4 build on fc4.

[manjunath]

thanks,

i have done like this:

[root@zimpro ~]# ps ax | grep zimbra
3128 pts/1 R+ 0:00 grep zimbra
[root@zimpro ~]# man kill
[root@zimpro ~]# kill 3128
bash: kill: (3128) - No such process
[root@zimpro ~]#

i thought that 3128 is a pid and kill requires a pid i provided will it, but it is giving error as abvoe, then where is the wrong in this?

[bobby]

>3128 pts/1 R+ 0:00 grep zimbra

3128 was the process id of the process "grep zimbra" which has already completed, so you can't kill it. there are no zimbra processes running, mainly because the rhel4 build won't install on fc4

You can't install the RHEL Network Edition on FC4, it won't work!! Why don't you get a supported configuration?

Hi,

I had the same problem. I solved it the following way:

1. Try to run openldap manually
(or via zimbra/libexec/ldapinit) which will provide you with a more detailed error message.

2. Solve the mentioned error (in my case sudoers wasn't installed correctly).

3. Kill running ldap and

4. run zimbra/libexec/zmsetup.pl to continue the installation.

I basically have the same issue as the other user. I uninstalled and rebooted server (couldn't figure out how to kill slapd). Then I install again and got same error:
Creating SSL certificate...Done
Initializing ldap...FAILED (256)


ERROR



Configuration failed

Please address the error and re-run /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmsetup.pl to
complete the configuration

---
So now I tried to go to opt/zimbra/libexec and run xmldapinit

[root@ns1 libexec]# ./zmldapinit
Error: must be run as zimbra user
Started slapd: pid 4980
ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)
[root@ns1 libexec]#

When I checked previously to see if ldap was running it showed root as user:

root 5147 0.0 0.1 4344 636 pts/0 R+ 17:31 0:00 grep slapd

Does this mean that it is being tried to be run as root instead of zimbra user?

hmm, in my zmsetup log it looks like I have some problems:

Looking at your first post you appear to have FC4 but are using the RedHat build. Are you sure you've got the right build?
