Unable to start Zimbra Desktop on OSX 10.5.5

Hello jmhe,

sorry for my bad Informations - here is the log + a picture of the problem.

The server log actually shows that the server came up just fine, but somehow the client can't reach it on port 7633.

I've seen one case like this before on Mac. Some Mac boxes are not friendly to localhost-only type of binding.

Could you try this? Open the file <install>/jetty/etc/jetty.xml and remove the line:

<Set name="host">localhost</Set>

Save, and then restart the server.

Hello jjzhuang,

thank's for your message.

I tried it but it doesn't work.

Could you try 'netstat -an' from terminal? You should see something like this:

tcp4 0 0 127.0.0.1.7633 *.* LISTEN

If you do, try do 'telnet localhost 7633' and see if you can connect.

Hello,

i got:
tcp4 0 0 127.0.0.1.8118 *.* LISTEN
tcp4 0 0 127.0.0.1.631 *.* LISTEN

not
tcp4 0 0 127.0.0.1.7633 *.* LISTEN

what I have to do for connecting?

[jjzhuang]

Then I'm not sure what happened on your box. What is your mac version and java version?

[zimjackson]

Hello, I treid the new release-it doesn't work - this is the message:
Kein Zugriff auf den Yahoo! Zimbra Desktop-Server. Besteht das Problem nach einer erneuten Installation weiterhin, prüfen Sie bitte die Fehlerprotokolle und melden Sie den Fehler unter http://www.zimbra.com/forums/zimbra-desktop.

What's wrong with my iMac?

Have you tried this yet? Yahoo! Zimbra Desktop FAQ - Zimbra :: Wiki

* System is misconfigured and localhost can't be resolved. - Many Mac OS computers have this issue. If you are on Mac OS, try the following steps:

1. Make sure localhost is resolved to 127.0.0.1 on this computer.
2. Make sure your computer has a name. You can set that under System Preferences -> Sharing. Also make sure computers on your network can access your computer at <computername>.local.
3. If it still fails, the last resort is to change the binding of the back end server from localhost (loopback) interface to all interfaces. Open the config file <install>/jetty/etc/jetty.xml with a text editor and remove the line <Set name="host">localhost</Set>. Save the file and then restart the back end server
