Problems with Zimbra installation on OS X Server - LDAP and Tomcat

[jholder]

Are you using sudo bash root, and then su to zimbra?

Hi John,
I just

sudo -u zimbra

whichever command as required from my bash shell to achieve the same effect.
Should be fine as it works for all other programs that I've built on OS X Server.

John.
I 'su root' ed then 'su zimbra' and tried restarting Zimbra and tomcat separately. It works fine!? I get the webmail instances starting on 8443 as desired and no LDAP errors.
How come?

Because sudo and su act differently. Fortunately, they both have man pages :)

mezza,

Glad it's working. Be sure to read the Install Guide, as it covers this.
Thanks
