ZCS Administrator Guide 8.0

Network Edition

Starting the Installation Process

 

Important: Before you begin, make sure to: • Store your license in a directory folder on your server as it is needed to complete your installation of ZCS. For more information about licenses, see VMware Zimbra Collaboration Server License and Zimbra License Requirements for ZCS Network Edition. • Confirm you have the latest system requirements and prerequisites for installing ZCS, as described in System Requirements for VMware Zimbra Collaboration Server 8.0.

For the latest Zimbra software downloads, go to www.zimbra.com. Save the VMware Zimbra Collaboration Server tar file to the computer from which you are installing the software.

Step 1 through step 4 are performed for each server to be installed.

1.	Log in as root to the Zimbra server and cd to the directory where the VMware Zimbra Collaboration Server archive file is saved (cd /var/<tmp>). Type the following commands.

•	tar xzvf [zcs.tgz] to unpack the file

•	cd [zcs filename] to change to the correct directory. The file name includes the release and build date.

•	./install.sh to begin the installation.

Note:

As the installation proceeds, press Enter to accept the defaults that are shown in brackets [ ] or enter the appropriate answer for your configuration.

The screen shots are examples of the Zimbra installation script.

2.

The installation process checks to see if Sendmail, Postfix, and MySQL software are running. If any application is running, you are asked to disable it. The default is Yes to disable the applications. Disabling MySQL is optional, but highly recommended. Sendmail and Postfix must be disabled for the VMware Zimbra Collaboration Server to start correctly.

3.	The Zimbra software agreement displays. Read the agreement and when Do you agree with the terms of the software license agreement? [N] displays, enter Y to continue.

Important: The license agreement displays in three sections, and you must accept each section of the license agreement.

4.

Next, the installer checks to see that the prerequisite software is installed. If NPTL, sudo, libidn, cURL, fetchmail, GMP or compat-libstdc++- are not installed, the installation process quits. You must fix the problem and start the installation again. See Other Dependencies in System Requirements for VMware Zimbra Collaboration Server 8.0.

Note:

Before the Main menu is displayed, the installer checks to see if the hostname is resolvable via DNS and if there is an error asks you if would like to change the hostname. The domain name should have an MX record configured in DNS.
