Directory and Authentication / Samba can't open secrets.tdb

« on: April 16, 2018, 02:14:42 pm »

On a new installation, I am trying to configure the server as an additional domain controller.

Samba says:

(preamble ....)
realm is douglas.local
 tdb(/var/lib/samba/private/secrets.tdb): tdb_open_ex: could not open file /var/lib/samba/private/secrets.tdb: No such file or directory
 Could not open tdb: No such file or directory
 ldb_wrap open of secrets.ldb
 Could not find machine account in secrets database: Failed to fetch machine account password from secrets.ldb: Could not find entry to match filter: '(&(flatname=DOUGLAS)(objectclass=primaryDomain))' base: 'cn=Primary Domains': No such object: dsdb_search at ../source4/dsdb/common/util.c:4576 and failed to open /var/lib/samba/private/secrets.tdb: NT_STATUS_CANT_ACCESS_DOMAIN_INFO
 tdb(/var/lib/samba/private/secrets.tdb): tdb_open_ex: could not open file /var/lib/samba/private/secrets.tdb: No such file or directory
 Could not open tdb: No such file or directory
 ldb_wrap open of secrets.ldb
 Could not find machine account in secrets database: Failed to fetch machine account password from secrets.ldb: Could not find entry to match filter: '(&(flatname=DOUGLAS)(objectclass=primaryDomain))' base: 'cn=Primary Domains': No such object: dsdb_search at ../source4/dsdb/common/util.c:4576 and failed to open /var/lib/samba/private/secrets.tdb: NT_STATUS_CANT_ACCESS_DOMAIN_INFO

I checked, and there is no .tdb file, so I created an empty one with touch, and the message is still the same.

Extra info - the existing domain controller is Windows SBS 2k3 with AD prepared for Windows 2008 R2 (I was going to use 2008 R2, until I found Zentyal).

Any suggestions, anyone? I am really reluctant to abandon, and continue with MS stuff.

Installation and Upgrades / Now attempting 5.1 installation

« on: April 06, 2018, 07:59:12 pm »

Hi José:

I have just dowloaded the ISO for 5.1, as you recommended, and the installation has gone better, but I still get:

Unable to connect

Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at localhost:8443.

    The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
    If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
    If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

when trying to run the Zentyal admin page.

What is wrong with the installer? I am installing on a virgin server - new disks, nothing clever. Surely it should work out of the box. As far as I can tell, Ubuntu is installed fine, it is just the Zentyal stuff that is causing the problem.

I think the Zentyal distro should be great, but it just won't install, or am I doing something totally wrong?

Pete.
