[SOLVED] installation failing at slapd

[vasa]

Hello there,

ZCS installation failing at slapd....unable to start ldap.

syslog :
daemon: listen(ldap://localhost:389, 5) failed errno=98 (Address already in use)

Install log:
Initializing ldap...failed. (28416)


ERROR



Configuration failed

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

Errors have been logged to /tmp/zmsetup.09022009-205619.log

****************************************
After reading wiki,forum I tried following
1. Killing any ldap processes already running
2.Checking permissions for zimbra user
3.2.Starting ldap from its directory as root
4.RUnning zimfixperms from libexec
....
None of this helped me.
I guess my /etc/hosts and DNS configs have caused this issue.

I am trying to install zcs for local use only. Hence created a zone with as 'localhost'.

/etc/bind# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.1.1 hostname.sbcglobal.net hostname

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts

fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

*****************************
is it /etc/hosts? how do I know it is sbcglobal.net or something else?
Is MX record causing this? how do I create a MX record for localhost?

Please help me resolving this issue. Thanks in advance.

I am guessing scbglobal.net is not your own domain ? If not do you have one you can use ? Your A record and MX should be pointing to your server hostname and IP address 192.168.1.1.

[vasa]

like in ....? How should my MX record look like?
Yes, sbcglobal.net is not my domain.Its my ISP's name server.

Please let know what should be MX record and 2nd line in /etc/hosts look like?

(I did try many different options ,but none worked...

Thanks in advance.

IN MX 10

and you do not want to be using your ISPs domain name in your /etc/hosts!

Thanks uxbod..I appreciate it.

But that did not resolve my issue. Modified /etc/hosts

In the DNS you need to use the LAN IP address of your server not the loopback address. The hosts file should contain the following:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.1.1 hostname.yourdomain.com hostname

Thanks Bill , But how do I know my domain?

Earlier I tried using my ISP's like sbcglobal.net but that did not help much.

Please let know,

Thanks,

You need a domain name so that mail will get delivered to your Zimbra server, don't you have one? If you don't then you need to purchase one, you'll also need a domain name set-up on your LAN DNS server - for that you'll need a Split DNS set-up.

[vasa]

what about .local domain? how do I configure that?

Please let know.

Thanks,

You use the Split DNS article I mentioned earlier and set-up your local domain with the same name as your external domain name.
