This is actually in the wrong forum, I'll move it.

Post the output of the following commands (run on the Zimbra server):
cat /etc/hosts

cat /etc/resolv.conf

dig yourdomain.com any

dig yourdomain.com mx

host `hostname`

The error messages clearly states that LDAP was unable to start because something else is already using the LDAP port (389). Determine what that is and disable it.

Problem instalation zimbra Failed to start slapd

Post by malayo »

just as a note if someone else is having this issue, my solution is to check stop zimbra services with zmcontrol stop and then look for any running zimbra services (amavisd, clamd, memcached etc.) with netstat -tulnp | grep LISTEN, kill it with killall

Problem instalation zimbra Failed to start slapd

Post by msmollin »

I ran into this issue upgrading from 8.0.9 -> 8.6.0 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS-5. My server install dates back to 7.1.4_GA on Ubuntu 10.04 to give some background, so there is some upgrade cruft. One of those pieces of cruft (i think) was that /opt/zimbra/bin/ldap was looking for the PID file in /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/state/run/slapd.pid but the LDAP server's config (cn=config.ldif) was putting it in/opt/zimbra/openldap/var/run/slapd.pid.



After some research, it appears the script's path is correct, so I updated the LDAP server's config file to match, and /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmsetup.pl (which is what generates this error) was happy as a clam.



One thing of note - the install.sh script for 8.6.0 merely calls /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmsetup.pl at the end of the install setup, so it's safe to re-run this command if it fails and thus having to reinstall all of 8.6.0.
