post installation error

hey all, has anypne run into this error after the installation and the service isbeing started

ERROR: service.FAILURE (system failure: getDirectContext) (cause: javax.naming.C ommunicationException tadr0s.com:389)

Yes is means LDAP is not running. What Linux are you running? Are there any errors in your install log? It's in the /tmp dir.

im running centos 4 and the install log shows:

[zimbra@tadr0s tmp]$ view install.log.24441

Did the instal fail and you ran it again? If so you need to run

install.sh -u
Then run:
ps -ef | grep zimbra

to make sure all the processes are killed.

Then try a clean run of the install.

i already tried that

Ok try this:

http://www.zimbra.com/forums/showpos...77&postcount=4

ill try a clean reinstall one moretime, if that doesnt work ill usethat link thnx

i ran
/opt/zimbra/openldap/libexec/slapd -4 -u zimbra -h ldap://:7389/ -f /opt/zimbra/conf/slapd.conf all one line and got no errors

do u think it can be the mysql server

After this can you run "ps -ef | grep slapd" Assuming you got no error then this should be up and running.

If not try this command:

Code:

---

/opt/zimbra/openldap/libexec/slapd -d 10 -4 -u zimbra -h ldap://:7389/ -f /opt/zimbra/conf/slapd.conf

---

This should print more debug.
