Default Initializing ldap...failed
Hi everybody,
I'm trying to install zimbra on a virtual server.
I have a local address that nat on a public one.

I'm trying to install without a MX configured, cause this is a test.

The domain i'm using exist and i've put in /etc/hosts so it can be resolved with my public address.

I'm using a Red Hat 5.4

Code:
[root@VM640-26NE8J4-1 zcs-.0.1_GA_3105.RHEL5.20110304210448]# ip addr show
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue

    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000

I'm on a virtual machine and i can't reach my public address.

To start with, your hosts file is incorrect. Go to the Split DNS article and see what's necessary for DNS resolution and follow the instructions there.

As you can see in the 'Verify ...' section of this article:

Split DNS - Zimbra :: Wiki

you have to run

Code:
dig prova.it mx
dig prova.it any
where 'prova.it' should be you domain, and put here the output.

DNS ERROR resolving MX for mail.prova.it

Change domain name? [Yes]
this is a documentated error in the zimbra installation wiki:

below the related istallation step:
Code:
• Checks to see if MX record is configured in DNS. The installer checks to
see if the hostname is resolvable via DNS. If there is an error, the
installer asks if you would like to change the hostname. We recommend
that the domain name have an MX record configured in DNS.
Regards
