Multi server install settings

[Vimm]

I'm trying to install Zimbra Enterprise using two servers and I'm having a little trouble. I'm trying to install the packages as follows:

Server 1:
ldap
mta
snmp

Server 2:
store
logger
spell
snmp

I've been following the minti-server install instructions but something's not adding up. When I try to complete the installation on Server 2 I'm never given the option to apply the settings. All I get is the message:
"Address unconfigured (**) items or correct ldap configuration (? - help)"

Well, there are no unconfigured items, the LDAP master host is set to server 1 using the password obtained by a "zmlocalconfig -s ldap_root_password", and I'm not getting any errors. Here's what I'm seeing.

Main menu



   1) Hostname:                                server2

   2) Ldap master host:                        server1

   3) Ldap port:                               389                           

   4) Ldap password:                           set                           

   5) zimbra-store:                            Enabled                       

   6) zimbra-snmp:                             Enabled                       

   7) zimbra-logger:                           Enabled                       

   8) zimbra-spell:                            Enabled                       

   r) Start servers after configuration        yes                           

   s) Save config to file                                                    

   x) Expand menu                                                            

   q) Quit                                    



Address unconfigured (**) items or correct ldap configuration  (? - help) 

What am I missing?

wrong pw, use the zimbra_ldap_password

[Vimm]

I gave that a shot but it returns the same password. Both of these commands are returning the same thing:

zmlocalconfig -s zimbra_ldap_password
zmlocalconfig -s ldap_root_password

It's not working like it's explained in the multi-server installation guide. On step 4 of the Mailbox server instructions it says the following:
http://www.zimbra.com/docs/ne/latest...1.html#1068002

4. The Hostname is displayed. You must set the LDAP host and password configured on the LDAP server.

• Type 2 and then type the LDAP host name.

• Type 4 and then type the LDAP password.

The server immediately contacts the LDAP server. If it cannot contact the server, you cannot proceed.

It also shows a screen shot displaying the following:

Checking ldap on :389...FAILED

I have yet to see that message regardless of what server name I enter. I have not seen any status or error message of any kind. I am also able to successfully telnet from server2 to server1 on port 389.

Well, don't know what the problem was but it's fixed now. Server 1 had a full install on it so I re-installed it with only the items I needed and now both work. I do wish the documentation indicated where the LDAP status message actually appears (in zmsetup.log) as opposed to in the setup prompt as the screen shot indicates.
