[SOLVED] Unable to start Zimbra services (ldap)

Post by sidkipper »

Have been trying to get the ZCA 7 (beta) working for a few weeks or so and am failing at the first hurdle. Hopefully the answer is easy/obvious, but I've been going around in circles for too long now and could do with some outside inspiration...
None of the services will start...

zimbra@mail2:~$ zmcontrol start

Host mail2

Starting ldap...Done.

Failed.

Failed to start slapd. Attempting debug start to determine error.

daemon: listen(ldap://mail2:389, 5) failed errno=98 (Address already in use)
...which implies to me that there is something already bound to that port, but I can't see what it is...
vmware@mail2:~$ sudo netstat -npa

Active Internet connections (servers and established)

As far as I can tell DNS is setup correctly (the server can resolve its domain's MX record to itself), but I'm not sure where else to check. I've imported the OVF, done a basic config, and nothing starts.
Any suggestions of stuff to look at would be very gratefully received...
