error installation on fresh Ubuntu 606

As you are behind a NAT router you will have set-up a local DNS server, correct? You just point your browser at that FQDN i.e. http://server.yourdomain.com or http://192.168.2.12 and that will get you to the web UI.

That address wasn't assigned by Zimbra. It happened one of two ways when you installed your Linux system:

1) The network setup routine obtained an address from a DHCP server somewhere on your network, or

2) You told it to stop when it was trying to get an address, and gave it one manually.

Either way, the address existed before you installed Zimbra at all. Nevertheless, as Bill pointed out, if you didn't have some DNS that resolved the FQDN to a good IP, Zimbra would not have installed in the first place. However, that's not a separate address from the public one unless you followed the instructions for a split DNS, and if you did that, you will have already had to know the internal and external addresses.

Bottom line, if you don't know, there probably isn't one.

Okay, okay, now I know that the Web UI is at the intern IP adres ! (solved)

But because the installation of the standard edition was succesful, I tried to install the opensource edition.

the installation of the opensource edition was nearly the same as the standard edition, but at last I received this error

Setting defaults...Starting ldap...failed with exit code 256.
daemon: getaddrinfo() failed: Name or service not known

any suggestions ?

thanx in advance !

I understand exactly what you mean, but I don't think you understand how Zimbra works. Zimbra doesn't do any routing, address translation, or firewalling, so there is no such thing as an internal and external address unless you created them with other means. If the box you installed Zimbra on has multiple ethernet adaptors, there is a chance that you might have set up one of them as internal and another as external, but there is nothing in the Zimbra installation routine that sets ANY ip address. . .it only takes addresses set by other software or people.

The way you get at the administration of Zimbra is https://whateveraddress:7071. You should be able to do this even if the internet is down, if you are on the same LAN or DMZ that you set your Zimbra box up on, but it is NOT a different address from the "public" one unless you configured split DNS, and Zimbra does not do this for you.

If this still doesn't make sense to you perhaps we should talk about precisely what network setup you used to create your Zimbra box.

Did you start with a "fresh Ubuntu 606" when you did the open source install, or did you use the same install on which the "Standard edition" (I presume you mean the Network Edition trial version?) had been installed? Did you uninstall the first one, or try to install over top of it?

Usually these sorts of errors result either from a missing dependency or a problem with DNS. Have you followed the instructions in this wiki for your Ubuntu install?
