One of the most common problems with installing and starting a service is an incorrect LDAP or MySQL password.
Resetting the LDAP Password
First, we need to make sure that Zimbra is stopped.
Try running:
> su zimbra
> zmcontrol stop
Just to be safe, you can make sure that all Zimbra services are stopped:
> ps auxww | grep zimbra
> ps auxww | grep slapd
Kill any left over processes.
Now, we can reset the passwords:
First the root(note: these are run as user zimbra)
> zmldappasswd --root newpass
Next the zimbra:
> zmldappasswd newpass
Make sure you use the same password for both!
Note: For Zimbra 5.0 and newer, you must start Zimbra with:
> zmcontrol start
And then use the following to change the root user
> zmldappasswd -r newpass
Next the zimbra:
> zmldappasswd newpass
Resetting Mailbox Database Passwords
Make sure mailbox database is running. Run all commands as user zimbra.
This checks for a pid file:
> mysql.server status mysql is running with pid 23830
Also use:
> ps a | grep mysqld.*my.cnf
root account Set newpassword to your desired password.
> zmmypasswd --root newpassword
zimbra account
> zmmypasswd newpasswd
Resetting Logger Database Passwords
Make sure mailbox database is running. Run all commands as user zimbra.
> ps a | grep mysqld.*my.logger.cnf
root account
Set newpassword to your desired password.
> zmmylogpasswd --root newpassword
zimbra account
> zmmylogpasswd newpasswd
