I ran into a weird condition where the /etc/zarafa/ldap.cfg file had its permissions changed to '-rw------- root root' instead of '-rw-r----- root zarafa' which is what it is supposed to be. Once this was unreadable to zarafa, on the next HUP (restart) of the zarafa-server process it failed to load. This resulted in the following symptoms:

- Zarafa was running
- The users app said 'Object not found'
- The groups app worked just fine
- Could not log in to the /webapp web interface or Zarafa in general.

I'm trying to track this down and putting this out there in case anyone else's server has this permission condition. To validate run the following:

ls -la /etc/zarafa/ldap.cfg

It should show 'zarafa' as the group owner and '-rw-r-----' as the permission structure. If not you need to fix this but please do this for me as well:

Record the time and date of the file change and see if you have anything correlated in the /var/log/messages to the timestamp of the ldap.cfg file and post those events here.

To repair this problem run the following:

chmod 640 /etc/zarafa/ldap.cfg
chgrp zarafa /etc/zarafa/ldap.cfg

Then restart all your Zarafa services. At a minimum I know that the zarafa-licensed (for business) and the zarafa-server service need to be restarted but I restarted them all when I ran into this issue.
