Live_syncd script won't start: Unable to identify local server address and assume remote address

[Genaro]

Hi,

I setup my Zimbra VM lab to simulate Live sync server high availability and follow the instruction from the guide https://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/Server_Live_sync. However after creating all the scripts, setting permissions and after second synchronization, when running the live_syncd script, it will always have the message "Unable to identify local server address and assume remote address". I can rsync directly between servers without problem and when I ran ifconfig, it will display the network configuration such as shown below, and on checking the live sync log directory, there was no log file created.

[root@mail3 live_sync]# ifconfig
enp0s3: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 10.24.32.80 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.24.32.255
inet6 fe80::a00fe21:d137 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link>
ether 08:00:27:21:d1:37 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)
RX packets 197981 bytes 145796231 (139.0 MiB)
.......

and here is the content of my live_sync.conf file
[root@mail3 live_sync]# cat live_sync.conf
server1="10.24.32.80"
server2="10.24.32.82"

Does anyone know how fix to this problem?

Thanks,
Genaro

hi
I was facing the same error two weeks ago when I realized that in the latest versions of zimbra some commands that are executed in the script have been discontinued this affects the development of the script.
sudo apt-get -y install net-tools
