Zimbra Collaboration Suite 3.0 - Open Source Edition installation error

[santiga]

When I try to install Zimbra on CentOS 4.2, I get this error:

I tryed to deinstall zimbra-spell-3.0.0_GA_156.RHEL4-20060206122144.i386.rpm package, and install manually, and I get this error:

error: %post(zimbra-spell-3.0.0_GA_156.RHEL4-20060206122144.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 1

I don't know exactly what happens. Anyone can help me ?

I just had the same problem and here was my solution:

edit /etc/hosts to look like:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost yourhost.yourdomain.com yourhost

That's not the correct format for the hosts file on CentOS, it should be as follows:

127.0.0.1           localhost.localdomain localhost
your_IP_address      FQDN  yourhostname

Santiga, is there anything in the install logs other than the info you've posted? Does you hosts file look like the details I've posted above?

Hi

I'd suggest you look at the /etc/hosts file and see what it has in it, make the changes I've suggested above. When you've done that I'd also suggest removing the current installation of Zimbra by running the install script with the -u option, that will remove it completely from your system - after that install Zimbra again.

Any errors that Zimbra lists during the install will be in the install log in the /tmp directory.

ERROR: Installation can not proceeed. Please fix your /etc/hosts file
to contain:



Where is the ip address of the host,
is the FULLY QUALIFIED host name, and
is the (optional) hostname-only portion



with the hosts format you told me. :-)

[marcmac]

FIrst off - don't user left and right angle brackets - the forum software eats them.

THe hosts file should look like:
IP fullname shortname
IP fullname shortname

IP is a dotted-quad (eg, 1.2.3.4)
fullname is the fqhn (host.domain.tld)
shortname is the hostname (host)

WHich is exactly what phoenix said. What's in your hosts file?

[santiga]

I'm tired now trying to configure hots file.... I'm not stupid... and I know how IP must to be set... and I know what means domain, and Full Qualified Host Name...

Obiously, I can see that forum eats left and right angle brackets , previously, NOT.

Ok, never see these kind of problems installing software packages...

THX for your effort.

[phoenix]

If you have your hosts file set correctly uou shouldn't see this problem, I also use CentOS 4.2 as my Zimbra server and it installed without problems. As marcmac said, what's in your hosts file? What does the hostname command return?

[santiga]

[root@santiaguin zcs]# hostname
santiaguin
[root@santiaguin zcs]#

[KevinH]

Not to beat a dead horse but what is in your hosts file?

cat /etc/hosts
