Can't get ride of Initializing ldap...FAILED (256) error

I have tried more than 10 times to install Zimbra without any luck. I got the same error: Initializing ldap...FAILED (256) error.
I am installing zimbra on FC5. I have stopped ldap, httpd and removed Sendmail.
I have 2 FC5 running samba/ldap:
server #1 the PDC server is a samba server on domain XYZ with Master ldap server on Tls to authenticate samba users.
Server #2 BDC has joined the samba XYZ domain and is a slave ldap (with Tls configured also), which will get ldap db replication from my master ldap.

I want to run Zimbra on Server#2 BDC with ldap on different port (390) and have Zimbra users authenticate to my master LDAP PDC or to the slave BDC.

For the installation on BDC, I have shutdown ldap httpd and Sendmail and Mysql are not running. I have also followed one suggestion from one post and set ldap auth to off by running authconfig-tui.; tls has also been disabled.

I have tried mutiple times the instal and I still end up getting the same error.

first I got: su: incorrect password

and after : Initializing ldap...FAILED (256)

Her it is

What I am doing wrong? Why I got the su: incorrect password error. Do I need to set an ldap password?

Regarding the Initializing ldap...FAILED (256) error, I dont understant why it is happening since LDAP (openldap) is not running

Thank for you help

Searching for "incorrect password" gives a thread that includes this post...

[jahaj]

I have seen that post before and have search the forum for the issue. From my etc/sudoers
I have this:
<<
%zimbra ALL=NOPASSWD:/opt/zimbra/openldap-2.3.21/libexec/slapd

I have openldap installed but not running. and I have uninstal and reinstall many times
Thanks

are there any errors in /tmp/zmsetup.log.370? what is the output of these commands:

su - zimbra
ls -l openldap
host mail.mydomain.com
cat /etc/hosts

[jahaj]

I gave up. I am getting a separate box to install zimbra. I will let you know if I have same problems.
Thank you for the reply
