Fix zclient.IO ERROR - invoke Connection refused

 - This article is a Work in Progress, and may be unfinished or missing sections.

Purpose

Running zmprov gives the following error:

[zimbra@mail2 ~]$ zmprov gs `zmhostname`
[] INFO: I/O exception (java.net.ConnectException) caught when processing request: Connection refused
[] INFO: Retrying request
ERROR: zclient.IO_ERROR (invoke Connection refused, server: localhost) (cause: java.net.ConnectException Connection refused)

Reason: That command won't run on the server at this point because mailboxd isn't running, and by default zmprov commands are executed over SOAP.

Resolution

You'll want to execute that command using 'zmprov -l' instead of just 'zmprov' until mailboxd is running again. This will directly query the ldap server.
