After some bile-inducing moments, I managed to do an install with fewer errors. Part of the install dialogue is like so:

You have the option of notifying Zimbra of your installation.
This helps us to track the uptake of the Zimbra Collaboration Suite.
The only information that will be transmitted is:
The VERSION of zcs installed (4.5.0_GA_612_FC5)
The ADMIN EMAIL ADDRESS created (admin@XXXXX.or.ke)

As you can see, the documents didn't initialize.
The log file shows:

All looks well but the Admin console and user login pages don't load!
After checking status again, the mailbox isn't running and tomcat is stopped.
