[exothermic]

I installed the server but durring config I get the following:
Adding zimbra.example.com to zimbraMailHostPool in default COS

ERROR: service.FAILURE (system failure: getDirectContext) (cause: javax.naming.CommunicationException zimbra.example.com:389)

ERROR: service.FAILURE (system failure: getDirectContext) (cause: javax.naming.CommunicationException zimbra.example.com:389)

Done
....
*** Running as zimbra user: /opt/zimbra/bin/zmcontrol start

ERROR: service.FAILURE (system failure: getDirectContext) (cause: javax.naming.CommunicationException zimbra.example.com:389)
Also when I try to start zimbra I get this:
[root@zimbra zcs]# /etc/init.d/zimbra start

Host zimbra.example.com

Starting ldap...Done.

ERROR: service.FAILURE (system failure: getDirectContext) (cause: javax.naming.CommunicationException zimbra.example.com:389)
Let me know what I need to look at next.
Thanks

Just search for "getDirectContext". There are a few people who also had this problem.

Did you run 'yum update' ?
If not run that. If you still have problems after that run 'yum install bind-libs'
That's what fixed that problem for me.

I have now looked at the various posts regarding: "getDirectContext" and they talked about two things:
1.) hosts, which for me now shows:
[root@zimbra zcs]# host localhost

localhost has address 127.0.0.1
2.) bind-libs which now shows as:
[root@zimbra zcs]# rpm -qf /usr/lib/libbind.so.3

bind-libs-9.2.5-3

bind-libbind-devel-9.2.5-3
So why am I still getting the exact same errors?
Thanks

Did you reinstall after making those changes?
WHat does

host localhost

return?

[exothermic]

hmm are you reading my posts? #1 is exactly what host localhost returns.
Also yes, I'm reinstalling after each change, from a complete uninstal (not upgrade) The pasted error is from the configuration applying that comes from the end of the install.

Sorry about the duplicate questions.
After the failed install

su - zimbra

ldap start
Did it start? Any errors?
/opt/zimbra/libexec/zmldapinit - any errors?

[exothermic]

[root@zimbra zcs]# su zimbra

[zimbra@zimbra zcs]$ ldap start

[zimbra@zimbra zcs]$ /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmldapinit

ls: /opt/zimbra/lib/conf/*ldif: No such file or directory
What does this mean?

[marcmac]

Ldap is refusing to start.
edit /opt/zimbra/conf/slapd.conf, comment out the line with loglevel 0
ldap start
send me the bottom of /var/log/zimbra.log
