John,
Updated /etc/hosts to ONLY contain the entries you suggested and rebooted the server.
Then ran
Code:
sudo -u zimbra /opt/zimbra/bin/zmcontrol start
and checked to see whether the Zimbra webmail interface was running on port 8443 but got no response:
Code:
$ curl -i -k https://localhost
curl: (7) couldn't connect to host
I've now restored the /etc/hosts file to it's original, and restarted the server and then started up Zimbra by running the zmsetup.pl script (which seems to be the ONLY way to get Zimbra to start up correctly on my machine).
BR
Mezza
