[ayush1440]

Hello Friends,,

I just installed CentOS release 5.4 (Final) and work perfect.

Now I want to install Zimbra Open source on this server but can't find appropriate version for CentOS.

Can you help me for choosing zimbra version? Or it is possible to install zimbra on CentOS?

Please help me

Thank You

Yes . You shall have to chose --platform-override when installing.

Thanks for quick reply.


I have done that but after installing lots of error occurred. Zimbra cannot start after installing.

Thank you for your response.

For errors, I have to install Zimbra. Just confirm me that which version I use for installing zimbra.

Right now I am using Zimbra zcs-6.0.4_GA_2038.RHEL5.20091214191028. It is correct for CentOS 5.4?

As this is a new install you should use the latest version :- http://h.yimg.com/lo/downloads/6.0.5...0202220948.tgz

1st : After installing packeges Zimbra will show DNS Error.

Create domain: [example.com]
MX: mail.example.com (X.X.X.X {Static IP})

Interface: 172.30.12.101
Interface: 127.0.0.1


DNS ERROR - none of the MX records for example.com
resolve to this host
It is suggested that the MX record resolve to this host
Re-Enter domain name? [Yes]


Can you first guide on this?

Thankx a lot in advance.

You are behind a firewall/router with a internal IP so you will need to setup a Split DNS - Zimbra :: Wiki architecture.
