[SOLVED] Close to despair: LDAP installation problem!?

[Xeronimo1974]

Hello everybody,

I've now tried to install Zimbra Opensource a couple of times but I've still not succeeded

Everything goes fine until the final moment:

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

There are no items with ** anymore so it has to be the LDAP configuration.

But I don't know what's wrong!?

The DNS seems to work correctly, I've got an MX record, the passwords should be ok too.

So what else could it be??

Main menu

1) Common Configuration:
+Hostname: ZimbraLinux.mydomain.local
+Ldap master host: zimbralinux.mydomain.local
+Ldap port: 389
+Ldap Admin password: set

3) zimbra-store: Enabled

7) zimbra-spell: Enabled
8) Default Class of Service Configuration:

c) Collapse menu
r) Start servers after configuration yes

q) Quit

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am no LDAP expert, but I notice here that you have your hostname as ZimbraLinux everywhere but on this LDAP line, where it's all lower-case. Everything, and I do mean everything, is case-sensitive in Linux. You might try correcting that.

Welcome to the forums

90% of LDAP installation issues are due to a misconfigured /etc/hosts; so would you please post the following

cat /etc/hosts
cat /etc/resolv.conf
dig yourdomain mx
dig yourdomain any
host `hostname` <- note backticks and not single quotes (type exactly as specified)

D'oh! That seems to have been the problem ... I was finally able to install it and it works nicely now
