Multinode ldap servers zmconfig Does not Start

Post by stephan_za »

Hi all,

I've just upgraded to latest version 8.8.15_GA_4257.FOSS and although everything went smoothly, I'm unable to start zmconfigd on my two ldap servers.

I've got 6 servers, 2x ldap, 2x mailaccess and 2x mailbox servers.

Since the upgrade, I'm sitting with this:

Code: Select all

zimbra@ldap1:~$ zmcontrol status
Host ldap1.vmail.adept.co.za
        ldap                    Running
        snmp                    Running
        stats                   Running
        zmconfigd               Stopped
                zmconfigd is not running.
zimbra@ldap1:~$
I've gone through enough Googling and found that there are posts about disabling ipv6 and updating the /etc/hosts file etc. I've done all of this and yet I cannot get zmcontrold to start. It is running on the other 4 servers. Also, I cannot find anything in any logs that may lead me to fixing this issue.

There is this concern though, but I've not seen this in any other post relating to my issue:

Code: Select all

Oct 30 21:42:00 ldap1 zmconfigd[7009]: Fetching All configs

Oct 30 21:42:00 ldap1 zmconfigd[7009]: All restarts completed in 0.00 sec
I have attempted to fix the above using the permissions fix, but this made no difference.

Also, what would cause the fact that nothing is writing to /var/log/zimbra.log ?

Code: Select all

-rw-r--r-- 1 zimbra zimbra 2.1M Oct 30 22:35 /var/log/zimbra.log
Please advise what info you need from me regarding my setup in order to be able to troubleshoot this issue?

Thanks,
stephan_za
