[hollow]

no install.log but a zmsetup.log.3116 with the previous respons.

running /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmldapinit
i get this
db_recover: Finding last valid log LSN: file: 1 offset 28
ERROR - failed to start slapd

- firewall off
- checked java
java version "1.5.0_05"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_05-83)

i get this when i configure

ERROR: service.FAILURE (system failure: getDirectContext) (cause: javax.naming.CommunicationException myhostname:389)

I've got this message once or two. when:
Installed zimbra N°1 lets name it zimbra.zimbra.orgIP N°1
Then installed a "second zimbra install" for test again.
lets name it brazim.brazim.orgIP N°2
different hostnames, differents domains, differents IPs.
different partitions but same computer and SAME MAC Adresses (buitl-in Ethernet).
I have DNS Servers (And AppleRemoteDesktop)

The pb - for me- was that in a way or another, my network was not happy and the way to solve this was :
Add a 5$ PCI NIC Card and reboot the zimbrabox install 2 using the second NIC card.
reboot My DNS Server, reboot my router, (in case - just to be sure)

No more "ERROR: service.FAILURE (system failure: getDirectContext) (cause: javax.naming.CommunicationException myhostname:389)"

Another thing, when you are in DirectoryAccess.app is LDAP checked or not ?
If it is checked, does it point to the default of OsX (aka 127.0.0.1), then if so just uncheck everything (unless of course you do have CUSTOM LDAP settings for kerberos or other stuff).
If you do not use LDAP, then better uncheck it in DirectoryAccess soi there is no conflict with zimbra serving ldap.
You can also if checked, uncheck Netinfo as you may not need it either (it should be already unchecked).

Did Ldap worked once or did it never worked on your install?

To get JAVA 1.5:
Did you change the symlink for CurrentJDK to point to 1.5.0 ?
or
Did you change the /etc/profile and/or .bash - .bash_profile files ?

Hollow - try this:

(As the zimbra user)
zmcreateca
zmcreatecert
/opt/zimbra/bin/ldap start

If ldap starts, you should be able to run the install again:
(as root)
rm -rf /opt/zimbra/openldap-data/*
/opt/zimbra/libexec/zmsetup.pl

If it doesn't start:
remove "ldaps://" from /opt/zimbra/bin/ldap
remove last 4 lines (starting with "TLS") from /opt/zimbra/openldap/etc/openldap/slapd.conf AND /opt/zimbra/conf/slapd.conf

then
(as root)
rm -rf /opt/zimbra/openldap-data/*
/opt/zimbra/libexec/zmsetup.pl

s3nz3x thanks for your reply but i went with marcmacs respond and i got it up installing.

s3nz3x i had it up once in network utility ldap port showing up.

marcmacs i'm going trough the installing now tell you later how it came up

later:

A possible clue to the problems is this:
zmcreatecert
** Importing CA

Certificate was added to keystore
keytool error: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5/Home/lib/security/cacerts (Permission denied)** Creating keystore

** Creating server cert request ....

apparently there is a prob in java again

and also after the install i can't log into the domain:7071 but ldap starts ok

Thanks again for your answers

Hi, I just downloaded Zimbra - it looks like it's just what I've been dreaming of - and the install process worked fine, just like a standard Mac OS X software install. I even spotted the bit about /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmsetup.pl and when it failed in Terminal I managed to work out how to set up a root userid and password, then repeated /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmsetup.pl and saved the file, which had a .5nnn extension.

You will have gathered I know nothing about this stuff, so what do I do now? I was looking for a nice little Zimbra icon or something - yes, I'm naive! Used to be a Systems Programmer on IBM a million years ago but whilst Macs are fantastic I don't know much Mac/Unix/Linux stuff. Thanks in anticipation, Rob
