Zimbra unable to complete install and start services

[aconti]

Hello,

I am trying Zimbra for the first time in a test environment and worth note also that I have limited knowledge of linux. I am installing Zimbra on Centos and I am stuck with the installation as I will show in the following outputs:

Host centoslpt.localhost.localdomain
	Starting ldap...Done.
	Starting zmconfigd...Done.
	Starting logger...Done.
	Starting mailbox...Done.
	Starting antispam...Done.
	Starting antivirus...Done.
	Starting snmp...Done.
	Starting spell...Done.
	Starting mta...Done.
	Starting stats...Done.
[zimbra@centoslpt network-scripts]$ zmcontrol status
Host centoslpt.localhost.localdomain
	antispam                Running
	antivirus               Running

	logger                  Running
	mailbox                 Stopped
		mysql.server is not running.
	mta                     Stopped
		zmopendkimctl is not running
	snmp                    Running
	spell                   Running
	stats                   Stopped
	zmconfigd               Stopped
		zmconfigd is not running.

How is anyone supposed to give you an answer without any debugging information or anything from the log fiiles? I would hazard a guess the the text I've highlighted is most likely to be the problem. Do you actually have valid A & MX DNS records plus a correct /etc/resolv.conf and a valid and correct /etc/hosts file? Have you also disabled SElinux and the firewall on this server? Installing ZCS on CentOS is one of the easiest to do if you have the correct requirements install and configured before you start. Have you also read the product documentation, specifically the Single Server Installation Guide?

can you provide an example of how the hosts and resolve files should be ?

I will also look at the Single Server Installation Guide

Details are in the Split DNS wiki article (and all over the forums).

The hosts file should always contain an entry like the following:

1.2.3.4     centoslpt.localhost.localdomain          centoslpt

You should also ensure that the system is configured properly in DNS. That's where the resolve.conf comes in, and you'll also need to configure local DNS, which is mentioned in the split DNS article phoenix mentioned. Having it configured at least in /etc/hosts may be all you need to at least get it running.
