Jeroen:
 /var/run/kolabd seems to be resolved.

I have still a problem with setup-kolab as before.
Everything looks good past: Setup is now going to set up the 389 Directory Server
the comes the crash: Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/sbin/setup-kolab", line 42, in <module>
    setup.run()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pykolab/setup/__init__.py", line 42, in run
    components.execute('_'.join(to_execute))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pykolab/setup/components.py", line 170, in execute
    execute(component)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pykolab/setup/components.py", line 202, in execute
    components[component_name]['function'](conf.cli_args, kw)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pykolab/setup/setup_ldap.py", line 251, in execute
    stderr=subprocess.PIPE
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 679, in __init__

  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 1249, in _execute_child
    raise child_exception
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

I checked both the kolabd and the dirsrv for status and both were not running, but can be turned on 
manually:

# systemctl status kolabd.service
kolabd.service - Kolab Groupware Server.
          Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/kolabd.service; disabled)
          Active: inactive (dead)
          CGroup: name=systemd:/system/kolabd.service



# systemctl status dirsrv.target
dirsrv.target - 389 Directory Server
          Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/dirsrv.target; disabled)
          Active: inactive (dead)




A one more question:
I get 
# setup-kolab 
Could not change the ownership of log file /var/log/kolab/pykolab.log

What should the permission of this be? I have -rw-rw---- kolab kolab-n
