Lost access to admin console??

[mmorse]

tomcat stop
tomcat start
tomcat restart (not as perferred-better do do them separate)
also check & copy-paste the contents (or upload the file): /opt/zimbra/tomcat/logs/catalina.out

What permission should be on /opt/zimbra ?

I found a lot of root.root permission inside this directory. I though it should be zimbra.zimbra. Is that OK?

[mmorse]

root.root is fine for /opt/zimbra -yes, some folders will have different permissions
If your concerned about permsisions run:
>/opt/zimbra/libexec/zmfixperms

Though this is usually needed after restores from backups, and not on a fresh intall.

This part of catalina.out is interesting

Zimbra server reserving server socket port=110 bindaddr=null ssl=false
Fatal error: terminating: PrivilegedServlet init failed
java.net.BindException: Address already in use

Looks like something si binding 110 already. There is nothing on the server no POP3 server or simillar.

# netstat -ap | grep pop
tcp 0 0 *op3s *:* LISTEN 4912/perdition
tcp 0 0 *op3 *:* LISTEN 4909/perdition

This may not be the "right" answer, but have you tried reinstalling zimbra? If you rerun the installer, it will keep all your settings and mailboxes, etc... and it may tell you about any issues or conflicts it has detected.

The obvious questions is - why did you enable perdition (the proxy service) in the Admin UI? Disable it and start zimbra again, search the wiki for 'perdition'.

I'll be glad if you tell me how? ... since i cannot access admin console.
Link you posted brings me to wiki.bugzilla.com. Doesn't look like right place to search.

Perdition is an IMAP/POP3 Proxy. If you don't know how to use it, and enable it, it will cause tomcat to stop working.

Try this:

su - zimbra
zmperditionctl stop
tomcat stop
tomcat start
zmcontrol status

No, it wasn't the right place to search as it was a typo on my part. It's surely not that difficult to find the wiki link in these forums but just in case, here it is: Main Page - ZimbraWiki

To disable Perdition:

Stop the service
zmperditionctl stop
Disable the proxy service
zmprov -- -zimbraServiceEnabled imapproxy

Unset the proxy ports
zmprov ms server.example.com zimbraPop3ProxyBindPort "" zimbraImapProxyBindPort "" zimbraPop3SSLProxyBindPort "" zimbraImapSSLProxyBindPort ""

Set the real ports
zmprov ms server.example.com zimbraPop3BindPort 110 zimbraImapBindPort 143 zimbraPop3SSLBindPort 995 zimbraImapSSLBindPort 993

Restart Tomcat
tomcat stop
tomcat start
