Hello all. I'm new to Zimbra but not entirely new to Linux (however i am no expert). I have been running Citadel on ubuntu 14.10 for a while and want to go for Zimbra instead. I followed several different write-ups on various sites to install and set up zimbra 8.8 on a VM running Ubuntu 16.04. All seems fine and good until the installation attempts to initialize ldap. It stops there and ends with a failure and installation termination.
Referring to the LOG file, the failure is as follows:
-------------------------------

that specific line that the error references (138) is:
my $ldap = Net::LDAP->new("$ldap_master_url") or die "$@";:
not sure what the issue is here. I did skip the BIND DNS setup and installation lined out in most instructions, but i didnt think that would cause this kind of issue.
I looked around online and found some folks suggesting commenting out "requiretty" in the sudoers. I tried that but it didnt help (plus that wasn't the error i got).
any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
also, this is on a fresh ubuntu install on a new VM.

Re: new installation ldap failure
Hi,
I got the same error installing OSE 8.8.12 version on a new lxc container on Ubuntu 16.04.6
Did you find a solution?
Anybody has an idea?

Re: new installation ldap failure
Enter Y and your domain name after the DNS error, I do not understand why zimbra install script propose the FQDN, it should propose directly your domain name but it does not!
