Hey John,
I got the same issue. I ran the command you suggested and here is the output:

[root@XX12 zimbra]# sudo /opt/zimbra/openldap-2.3.34/libexec/slapd -d7 -l LOCAL0 -4 -u zimbra -h dap://mail.mpseast.com:389 -f /opt/zimbra/conf/slapd.conf

Any ideas?

You might like to a) put the FQDN of your own server in there instead of mail.mpseast.com and b) correct the typo on the part of the command following the -h option from 'dap:' to 'ldap:' and run it again.

Hi Bill,

Sorry my bad. I was not paying attention. Here is the output again:

[root@qa12 libexec]# sudo /opt/zimbra/openldap-2.3.34/libexec/slapd -d7 -l LOCAL0 -4 -u zimbra -h ldap://qaclus01.liquisys.com:389 -f /opt/zimbra/conf/slapd.conf

Any ideas now?

I might have sand in my eyes. I forgot to:

ip adde add xx.xx.xx.xx dev eth1

Ugggghh!!!

Is working now.

Cheers

For those who may view this thread in the future, an error 99 for ldap start is almost always a hostsfile issue.

It can't bind to an IP cause it can't connect to that particular IP.

ALWAYS make sure you hosts file is correct.

hi,

I just installing zcs-4.5.7_GA_1454.RHEL5.tgz on Centos 5. Then i got this error:

Error

slap_open_listener : failed on ldap ://mail.daquarian.com:389

Welcome to the forums.

Did your read the answer in the post above yours? That should fix your problem. A search of the forums would show that LDAP problems are almost always caused by hostfile and/or DNS problems - have you done a search. Please install 4.5.9 as it's the most recent release.

I just removed the OpenSource version and attempted install of the EnterpriseNetwork version. I'll check the LDAP versions in that package, since I am having the Error=99 problem starting LDAP.

I've changed our DNS and MX records to that they are all aligned.

testmail.domain.com

is the domain name, hostname and MX record pointer. Still error=99. What is weird is that during the LDAP startup, somewhere it's snagging mail.domain.com even though I can't find any reference to it in /etc/hosts, /etc/hostname, /etc/network/config/... nowhere..

If only I could install Zimbra without LDAP. I might be a happier person.

I will check th LDAP package version, or should I download/upgrade from the latest Zimbra distro?
