SuSE 9 problem resolution - Port conflict detected: 25 (zimbra-mta)

[phoenix]

Well with those ports open the question becomes, do you want to run your own instance of apache as well as zimbra? If you want to run your own apache then you need to change the ports zimbra uses, if you don't want to run your own then disable the apache running on your system and do the zimbra install again.

thanks phoenix.

if you don't want to run your own then disable the apache running on your system and do the zimbra install again.

in my system there is no apache running, i restarted my system and then tried to install zimbra, eventhought i get the same port conflict errors. previously i installed zimbra, and at that time i used the following to stop sendmail and iptables as :

/etc/init.d/sendmail stop
and
/sbin/service iptables stop

this time also i made the same things, but i cant resolve these once.
waiting for ur reply,
thanks

If zimbra is finding a port conflict then you have some service running on that port. You could try removing zimbra from the system by running './install.sh -u' that will completely remove all of the /opt/zimbar directory. Then check for any runnimng zimbra services and kill them. When you've done that see if there's anything running on the ports that you have a conflict with ie 'telnet yourserver 443' - see what that shows.

i uninstalled zimbra using ./install.sh -u

Then check for any runnimng zimbra services and kill them.

i found that non of the zimbra services are running :

[root@zmail ~]# ps
PID TTY TIME CMD
8447 pts/3 00:00:00 su
8451 pts/3 00:00:00 bash
20217 pts/3 00:00:00 ps
[root@zmail ~]#

When you've done that see if there's anything running on the ports that you have a conflict with ie 'telnet yourserver 443' - see what that shows.

for this i got the following result. i think the ports are not in use
[root@zmail ~]# telnet zmail.no-ip.info 80
Trying xx.xx.xx.xx..
Connected to zmail.no-ip.info (xx.xx.xx.xx).
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.

[root@zmail ~]# telnet zmail.no-ip.info 443
Trying xx.xx.xx.xx...
Connected to zmail.no-ip.info (xx.xx.xx.xx).
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.

then i checked for this
[root@zmail ~]# netstat -na
Active Internet connections (servers and established)

udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:694 0.0.0.0:*

i still unable to find the solution, plz reply me soon.

If you've removed zimbra and this happens:

tcp 0 0 :::80 :::* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 :::443 :::* LISTEN

Then there is a web server listening on that port.

This:

[root@zmail ~]# telnet zmail.no-ip.info 443
Trying xx.xx.xx.xx...
Connected to zmail.no-ip.info (xx.xx.xx.xx).
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.

also means that something is listening on that port but it can't make a connection. That could be a firewall or SElinux, for instance. Have you had a look at your package installation and seen if Apache is installed? Have you also checked to see if it's running? You could try 'lsof -l | grep apache'

[jamesjr555]

thanks phoenix

You could try 'lsof -l | grep apache'

i tryed this command and i didnt get anything running :

[root@zmail ~]# lsof -l | grep apache
[root@zmail ~]# lsof -l | grep apache
[root@zmail ~]#

Could you do a "ps aux" and post the full answer to this command ?

This would help us in finding "what" is listening on the different ports.
