Yes. The Quick Start Guide is very clear, Zimbra is a mail server it requires ports used by mailserver's (25,110,80,443,etc). So you can't have services running on those ports. I'm not sure how else to say it. For the record I'll quote the Quick Start guide:

"Important. You cannot have any other web server, database, LDAP, or MTA server running, when you install the Zimbra software. If you have installed any of the applications, before you install Zimbra software, disable these applications."

Saying the quick start guide doesn't have enough info, but with out providing even a single example of what we should add is not useful feedback. We really enjoy feedback but we need to know what's missing for us to be able to add it.

I am in no doubt that you guys really know your stuff and I can only commend you on that. But for your average user maybe they don't know what is missing.

This is the big problem with linux as a whole.

Those who know are helpful to those who don't but they also assume users know more than they do.

The second problem is installing software should be a simple task even on rubbish like exchange it holds your hand from start to finish.

The thing is, if you use linux every day, and install mail servers every day, it becomes second nature.

But if you don't it's like the 1st time you made love, you kinda hope you know what your doing but not everything goes to plan!

Thank you guys I would really love to get this going, but I am afraid I am obviously a bit to thick!

Best of luck!

Yogiman!
