[SOLVED] Initializing ldap...failed

[Pierre C.]

Hello Everybody (sorry for my bad English),

I have an issue when I want to install the new Zimbra 8.8.0 BETA (1712) :

• Platform : Fresh new Ubuntu 16.04.2 install (64 bits).

• Zimbra Package : zcs-NETWORK-8.8.0_BETA1_1712.UBUNTU16_64.20170615062344.tgz

It seems that is related to LDAP :

Maybe it's not related with beta and I've missed something.

For your information I use OS repos.

Regards.

"No route to host at /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmldapinit line 138."

Check your /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf file and make sure your Zimbra server's FQDN is reachable both via an /etc/hosts lookup as well as via a DNS lookup.

Hope that helps,
Mark

Hello L. Mark Stone,

You are right. It's just a ridiculous syntax error in my /etc/hosts.

So finally nothing to do with beta.

Sorry for that useless post.

Thank You again.

You're welcome and not a useless post at all!

It's a good reminder for all that even when doing a sandbox/test deployment host resolution is just as critical as in a production environment.

All the best,
Mark
