[SOLVED] Zimbra multiple domains won't let me log into second domain

[rernst]

Here is my issue with Zimbra:

I have two domains a.com and b.com. Both are set up properly (identically) at an external name server.

I have forwarded the routers port for 8080 (I run it on 8080 instead of 80) to my Zimbra server. On the Zimbra server I run BIND with the internal resolutin such as

;
; Addresses and other host information.
;
@ IN SOA b.com. hostmaster.b.com. (
10118 ; Serial
43200 ; Refresh
3600 ; Retry
3600000 ; Expire
2592000 ) ; Minimum
; Define the nameservers and the mail servers
IN NS 192.168.8.80
IN A 192.168.8.80
IN MX 10 b.com.

I have both zones a.com and b.com set up as masters.

I define both a.com and b.com through the administrative interface to Zimbra.

I then login to http://a.com:8080 and seem to be able to send and receive email just fine.

Logging into http://b.com:8080 appears to direct me to a.com nonetheless. For example, when logging in with the admin account I see all emails sent to admin@a.com. If there is an account at b.com only, I cannot log into this account at all although my URL points to this domain.

Neither can I use IMAP access to the second domain (b.com). Everything works fine (including IMAP) for a.com.

I am using the Opensource edition.

What am I missing?

Many thanks in advance and I did do a fair amount of searching before posting this ...

have you tried logging in as user@b.com in the web UI?

you may have to define your virtual host also, either you define your a.com or b.com as a virtual host.

hope this helps.

I should have posted long ago that yes, this is the solution.
