The dns hostname under the network configuration pannel is still localhost.localdomain. is that correct? |
try this order-it's easier if you workout the hosts stuff before you install zimbra
-uninstall zimbra
-change server hostname
-correct hostsfile
-reinstall zimbra (documentation is here
/community/documentation.html)

So is the that normal for this part of the project. Do i just continue to configure dns or do i need to revise something before i mess with that? |

slapd cannot bind to port 389 general, this would be because something else is already listening on that port, or there is a hostname mismatch, etc.

If you look at that post closely it's actually what your not supposed to do

-(are you going with a split dns?)
