Soap call failed: 500 Can't connect to localhost:7777

Jaymate · Post by **Jaymate** » Mon Oct 24, 2005 5:11 am

Just installed FC3 and then Zimbra.
[root@zimbra ~]# su - zimbra

[zimbra@zimbra ~]$ zmcontrol status

Calling GetServiceInfoRequest (zimbra.bdsdomain.com)
Soap call failed: 500 Can't connect to localhost:7777 (connect: Connection refused) at /opt/zimbra/bin/zmcontrol line 230
Any ideas.
I am sitting behind a proxy server - will this cause the error?
what do i need to do to correct it?
Thanks

It looks like Zimbra may not have started up for one reason or another.
First, just to be on the safe side, lets stop the firewall running on that computer, using the following (you'll need to run these commands as root):
/etc/init.d/iptables stop

Then, restart the Zimbra server:
/etc/init.d/zimbra restart

Then, just as you did above, re-run the "zmcontrol status" command (as the zimbra user).
Does that work any better?
If not, there's two things that might help.
First, look at the end of your Zimbra log file, in /var/log/zimbra.log. It may contain useful information for diagnosing problems you've run into.
If the Zimbra log doesn't make things clear, it may help for us to see a copy of your Zimbra install log. There should be a text file in /tmp named something like install.log.XYZ (where XYZ is a seemingly random set of numbers, but really the process number of the process that installed Zimbra).
If you could reply to this thread, and attach your install log, and perhaps the zimbra.log while you're at it, that would be helpful in diagnosing your problem.
Have a good one,

-Eric

Jaymate, I just read through a copy of where you originally posted this problem:

There">http://www.zimbra.com/forums/showthread.php?t=480
There was an error that occurred during the install, that said this:

ERROR: Installation can not proceeed. Please fix your /etc/hosts file

to contain:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

That may or may not be the ultimate cause of the problem, but it's worth looking into. What does your /etc/hosts file look like? You should have entries in there for both 127.0.0.1 as it mentions above, as well as a similar entry using the actual IP and hostname of your machine.

I looked at my hosts file and there was nothing in it except for the comments stating not to delete these lines. Please advise.

Now when I restarted zimbra the only feedback I receive is the host ip address and name. Also, when I exceuted the zmcontrol status command the only feedback I received was again only the host ip address and name. It seems as no servers were started, but no error messages were displayed either. Please advise, Thanks.
PS, I don;t know if this is related but when Fedora starts up one of the services failed to start, "smartd".

Ben

Do a searh on hosts file. There are lots of examples here. You need two lines one for localhost and one for your real host name. This needs to be there when you install so if it wasn't you should re-install.

Can you post your install log from /tmp?

Ok well on that install slapd was still running. You need to kill it before you try to re-install.

bburgis · Post by **bburgis** » Thu Oct 27, 2005 7:37 am

I am still coming up to speed on using Linux. I could not find the slapd service to kill. I tried to do "/etc/init.d/slapd stop" but couldn't find slapd. Could you provide the right way to kill this service or program. Thanks.
