[SOLVED] Accessing Admin Console

[JBauman8296]

I have Zimbra open source edition installed on my CentOS 5.5 server and am having issues with accessing the admin console post installation. I have checked firewall settings on the machine I am attempting to access it from and disabled SELinux on my CentOS box. If I do a port scan on the CentOS box I am still showing most of the ports as being closed. This should not be the case if the firewall is turned of. I also ran the 'tui' firewall setup to ensure it is completely disabled.

Overall when I attempt to access the console from a web browser it tells the page is down or cannot be displayed. Basically it doesn't find it. I am typing in 'https://zimbra.home.com:7071' to access it. I know my dns works as well because I can ping and resolve the hostname and address from the command prompt. Any ideas??????

I am a little rusty when it comes to the Tomcat web server but I have also checked to make sure that it installed correctly and is running on my box.

Go to the Zimbra server command prompt and telnet to port 7071, does it respond? What is the status of all the services? Run the following and post the output:

zmcontrol status

Go to the Split DNS article and run all the commands mentioned in the 'Verify...' section and post the output here.

Here is what I get with the 'zmcontrol status' command:

Host zimbra.home.com
antispam Running
antivirus Running
ldap Running
logger Running
mailbox Stopped
mysql.server is not running.
mta Running
snmp Running
spell Running
stats Stopped

I am not sure what is up with my mysql but it seems I had some issues with it prior to this post. I thought zimbra used a different db server?

Below is what I get from the 'Verify' section of the wiki you directed me too:



; <<>> DiG 9.3.6-P1-RedHat-9.3.6-4.P1.el5_4.2 <<>> zimbra.home.com mx

And then with the any command:

;; global options: printcmd

Telnet works just fine from the terminal on the CentOS box itself via port 7071.
The hostname commmand works just fine as well.

Look in the log files and see what errors are in there.
