Hi everyone,

We want to deploy Zimbra in my company as the mail server and its going to be on rhel5.I am downloading the trial version Zimbra Collaboration Suite Network Edition 5.0.5, for testing.
Can someone explain to me how to go about installing it.

Would really appreciate a positive response! Thanks guys!

Hi Bisola

Welcome to the forums!

The first thing I would do if I were you would be to read through the install documentation very carefully.

http://www.zimbra.com/docs/ne/latest...erver_install/

It has most of everything you need there.

In a nutshell, basically you make sure nothing is currently listening on the web and mail ports on the server (such as Apache/postfix/sendmail, etc). If so, shut them down and disable them. Then grab the installer from the website, untar it, and run the setup file. The installer basically walks you through step by step.

Once the program is installed, you can access the admin interface of the program by visiting https://yourserver.hostname.com:7071

If you run into problems, let us know and we can try to help out.

Good luck!
