[SOLVED] Can't start Zimbra Desktop

[edoucette32]

My first post to the forum, so bear with me....

Last night I recieved an error:

[JavaScript Application]

! Couldn't access Yahoo! Zimbra Desktop server. If issue Persists after reinstall, please check logs for errors and report to Zimbra Desktop - Zimbra - Forums.

I downloaded the latest version of Desktop and reinstalled, got an error message at the end about the zimletts<sp?> After the installation I get the same error.

Not sure what to attach for log files... please advise

System running Vista

Check for updates to Windows Defender.

A Windows Defender update on Sunday, broke Y!ZD on Monday afternoon. A new update this morning resolved the problem.

Also, check your Hosts file and ensure 127.0.0.1 localhost is in there, and add it if it isn't.

This fixed it for me.

Where do I go to see about the hosts file? And if it's not in there, haw do I add it?

Thank you!

I started having trouble after defender "fixed" something... so, I have updated defender. Unfortunately, I am having the same problem. I re-installed Z! DT and got the same results.

Help!

Open the hosts file in Notepad.

The hosts file is located in %systemroot%/system32/drivers/etc

Good luck.
