<p>Hi guys. First, thanks to all the contributors to Kolab - I've been using 3.2 for a while since pulling it from a hosted Google environment in a moment of paranoia. It's both good and bad to be responsible for your own email server.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>To the point, I created a new VM with 2 processors 2GB RAM and a 40GB disk in KVM with qcow2 storage, hosted on an Ubuntu Server. I then installed a 64 bit minimal Centos 7 server, updated it, powered it off and gzip'd it up. After power it up, I followed this guide:</p>
<p><a href="https://docs.kolab.org/installation-guide/centos-7.html">https://docs.kolab.org/installation-guide/centos-7.html</a></p>
<p>Then, verified my hostname, DNS, etc and took a snapshot of the VM before continuing. I can revert back to this snapshot, fix something and start over as if I was re-doing a clean slate installation.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As is stands, I cannot log in as cn=Directory Manager in the kolab-webadmin interface. The log file shows:</p>
<p>[root@kolab16 ~]# tail -f /var/log/kolab-webadmin/errors<br />[12-Feb-2016 11:26:43 -0500](ldatfspk4p08nts4uoj43gr6g3): [ERROR] (api) LDAP: Bind failed for dn=uid=kolab-service,ou=Special Users,dc=sbsllc,dc=local. Can't contact LDAP server</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As per some suggestions on the list, I tried to change /etc/kolab/kolab.conf from localhost to 127.0.0.1 (then I rebooted the kolab server to be sure) and tried again. I've never been able to log in. I took all the password suggestions from the kolab-setup script, and didn't type in my own. I saved the entire output of my configuration attempts and copy/pasted the password in. I also verified the password in /etc/kolab/kolab.conf, and it was as I expected. Still I cannot log in.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now, I could hack the configuration, get into LDAP and make it work, but I'll always wonder if something else is wrong because of me missing something - especially is there's another error or something else doesn't work. Below is a pastebin of the entire output of my shell session over SSH. Please let me know what I'm doing wrong, or how I can help debug.</p>
