How to install from Basic.

[tamilnandhu]

Hi i searched the forums and documentations in zimbra.com, but nothing helps me to install zimbra and configure and run it successfully.

so if u installed it in your machine and if it is working well, pls share your installation experience and help me.

also https://localhost:7071 is not working for me.

also tell me how to configure the /etc/hosts file. (i don't have separate domain, just i want to use the zimbra inside of my local LAN.)

Also tell me the basic use of Zimbra (Either email client or server or both or database).....?


i totally got confused. pls give me the basic idea about zimbra and above things.

Thnaks & Regards,
Nandhakumar K.

What's your OS?

Also if you are using that in your LAN, you have to disable the Enable DNS option in the Admin UI.

Can you provide some info on what you have done so far, and what the results were, from there we may be able to see the problem. Cheers.

hi, i installed FC5 (while installing itself i selected the MySQL, PHP and Apache components).

then i downloaded the ZCS open source edition.

then i installed it through install.sh file.

it asked me about the installing components. i gave YES to all.

after installing it gave me the DNS error like, "host name cannot be resolved".

i have internet connection, but not having a particular registered domain name. i want to use Zimbra for local LAN. so How to set DNS /etc/hosts file...?

whether ZCS open source edition has MYSQL DB or Zimbra DB...?

Thanks & Regards,
Nandhu.

On a single server install you don't need to enabled imap/pop proxy.

For mail delivery, you're going to need mx records somewhere (unless you plan on just using pop download in the webclient).

You could make a .local domain and use bind if you don't have a dns box - these articles will help a little:

You didn't need to install MySQL & Apache, ZCS installs it's own.

-I kinda also get the sense that you didn't read the links I provided in your prior thread... (/forums/installation/11876-zimbra-sugarcrm.html)
