Error after installing Zimbra on Fedora 3

Hi All,

I have a clean installation of Fedora 3.
I've just installed the Zimbra product (Open Source).

When doing:
su - zimbra
zmcontrol status

I am getting the following error:
ERROR: service.FAILURE (system failure: getDirectContext) (cause: javax.naming.CommunicationException localhost.localdomain:389)

Any idea?

Thanks, Ori


Any idea?

yum update

My guess is your system is not updated.

I had the same problem with Fedora 3, and "yum update" fixed this for me.

To get "yum update" to work I had to :

1) Set the GPG key for the rpm program (see yum documentation on fedora.redhat.com). This is done with the following command:

rpm --import /usr/share/rhn/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora

2) Set the "http_proxy" environment variable for our proxy server (also in yum documentation). This is done with:

http_proxy="http://server:port"
export http_proxy

(note that the shell looses this setting when you log out)

Thanks, indeed "yum update" solved the problem.
