No_Such_Server

[RyecoAaron]

I found that I had 'search example.com' in my resolv.conf. The tacked on example.com to localhost when I ran 'host localhost' making it try to resolve localhost.example.com. Once I removed the search line, everything worked great again.

New information.

Type in this command:

host localhost

If it returns anything other than 127.0.0.1, that's a problem.

After install.sh, in the menu config - ctl-c to exit, and edit /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmldapinit - add -H ldap://127.0.0.1:389 to each ldapmodify line - then re-run /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmsetup.pl

I'm triing to reinstall Zimbra. First installation was inseccessful - I'в forgot to set corrent hostname, so all worked except accepting mail.
I'd reinstalled it totally but met this problem. Tried to use such approaches but no result.
Is it possible to totally remove Zimbra from the system and install it again as on clean machine?

Thank you.

Yes, you can remove Zimbra just run the install again with the uninstall option - './install.sh -u' (no quotes, obviously). That will remove everything including any mail you may have in the store.

Thank you for help!

I tried this, but unseccussful
It's like Zimbra had wrote itself to the system. So my afforts to reinstall it didn't give result. I saw the same error.

I should have made clear that you should stop Zimbra using zmcontrol stop (while logged in as the zimbra user). Also make sure that no Zimbra tasks are running, kill all of them if there's any there and the uninstall/reinstall should work OK.

Here is some messages form zmsetup.log file.
It seems that MySQL could not connect ...

Any help ?

Is that the whole log file? I don't see the ldap initialization step, which is why you get the no such server error.

What happens when you start ldap?

su - zimbra
ldap start

search the forums for ldap troubleshooting steps.
