Cannot determine services

[RD1]

I am having trouble with dns resolve issue, I read other thread on forums but enough differences to not fully translate, and I am a newbie at linux command line.

this is a CentOs box, this is localhost.zone file can anyone make any sense of either of these? When I run zmcontrol stop, systems appear to stop but when I run zmcontrol status I get 'cannot determine services - exiting' these files I edited to insert machines static ip. Not sure if that was the correct thing to do?

$TTL 86400
@ IN SOA @ root (
42 ; serial (d. adams)
3H ; refresh
15M ; retry
1W ; expiry
1D ) ; minimum

IN NS @
IN A 208.67.250.133
IN AAAA ::1


and localdomain.zone

$TTL 86400
@ IN SOA localhost root (
42 ; serial (d. adams)
3H ; refresh
15M ; retry
1W ; expiry
1D ) ; minimum
IN NS localhost
localhost IN A 208.67.250.133

Well, if you're getting the cannot determine services error, then that means LDAP isn't started or it can't connect.

You should run a zmlocalconfig and look at the configuration.
The master should probably be set to true, and the host should be the name of the box.

Let's start there

Master is set to false, how do I change this? Sorry for my ignorance.

So the problem is, that i get a feeling that youv'e got bigger problems, but I'll help you along as best as I can.


zmlocalconfig -e ldap_is_master=true

Can you post the output of:
zmlocalconfig | grep ldap

Thanks

Great!
Now, let's try to start the servers.

Let's see how it goes.

jh

[RD1]

John,

Here is what i got


[zimbra@marlin zcs]$ zmcontrol start
Host marlin.realmarketing.net
Starting ldap...Done.
FAILED
Error: /opt/zimbra/conf/slapd.conf.in does not exist
]nERROR - failed to start slapd



[zimbra@marlin zcs]$

[jholder]

Yeah

Run your zmlocalconfig and post it. I'll delete it for ya, I need to see some stuff.

john

[jholder]

Here's what I'm going to suggest.
Let's delete zimbra and start from scratch.
Run ./install.sh -u and remove zimbra completely.

Next, we need to take a look at your hosts file. Zimbra uses the hostfile with DNS to talk to itself.

cat /etc/hosts

John,

took me a minute to navigate around.
