ldap not starting on development system

[SageMajor]

I have installed zimbra on my laptop to do zimlet development without being connected to the internet.

Ldap will not start. I do not have any type of MX record setup in our DNS servers, however I can run a local DNS on my laptop if needed to get things running.

If it matters my zimlet will take the calendar and the populate data into our trouble ticket system.

This is a network edition latest version Release 5.0.12_GA_2789.UBUNTU8

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 Cache is out of date or doesn't exist.

The easiest thing to do would be to install a DNS server and have correct A & MX records.

I set my laptop to look at the local dns 127.0.0.1


sage@sage-laptop:~$ nslookup sage-laptop
Server: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1#53

Name: sage-laptop.example.com
Address: 127.0.0.1



% dig sage-laptop.example.com

sage-laptop.example. 28800 IN A 127.0.0.1

zimbra@sage-laptop:/home/sage$ zmcontrol start

I tried starting ldap directly and I get

zimbra@sage-laptop:~/bin$ ./ldap
ldap_url and ldap_master_url cannot be the same on an ldap replica

It won't work using the loopback address, it needs a real fixed IP.

Ok, I set my eth0

zimbra@sage-laptop:/home/sage$ ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:23:ae:00:8e:c1
inet addr:192.168.1.3 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

zimbra@sage-laptop:/home/sage$ nslookup sage-laptop
Server: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1#53

Name: sage-laptop.example.com
Address: 192.168.1.3


zimbra@sage-laptop:/home/sage$ /opt/zimbra/bin/ldap start
ldap_url and ldap_master_url cannot be the same on an ldap replica

I have both eth0 and wlan0 on this box. Wlan is dhcp set for internet access. eth0 will only work when I am at home and plugged in.
