Welcome to the forums.

This topic has been covered many times in the forums, did you search first?

What was in the install log? Do you have correct DNS A & MX records set? Is the /etc/hosts file set correctly? Which operating system? Is there any other errors in the Zimbra logs? Have you made sure there's no other mail server running on your system?
