Installation Problem - Possibly LDAP

[geroshea]

Hi there

Just started playing with Zimbra over past couple of days.
Some details
=========
Using the Network edition on Red Hat Enterprise.
Internal(Private IP) address of Zimbra: 10.0.0.8
I have an mx record setup for my testing site mail.mydomain.com pointing to External IP address on our Firewall 83.245.69.36.
I port forward all traffic on port LDAP(389), SMTP(25) and LMTP(24) from 83.245.69.36 to 10.0.0.8

I install Red Hat
Stopped Sendmail as required
chkconfig sendmail off
service sendmail stop

Checked my host file which displays the following
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
83.245.69.36 mail.mydomain.com mail



Then I start the installation
[root@mail zcs]# ./install.sh

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

change your /etc/hosts to be

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
10.0.0.8 mail.myguidetravel.com mail

and is there an A record for mail.myguidetravel.com pointing to 83.245.69.36?

Hi Bobby

How could I have been so stupid.
I just setup the MX record on Monday.
I installed everything, and it was a text case install, I got no errors.
So I decided to setup on another Computer, just to be sure it wasn't a fluke, thats when I ran into the problems.
I did look at the host file when I setup, and remember remarking it was cleaver that my public ip address was put in there automatically, but did it dawn on me that it should be my private address? No of course it didn't.

Anyway I killed LDAP and Zimbra processes.
Did a install.sh -u
Set the IP in host to my private as you suggested
Reinstalled again and everything is up and running

Thanks for saving me a bunch of time, I really appreciated it.

Ger.

Hi bobby,

I want to configure my etc/hosts file but I dont know what I should write in it. I guess the firts line is common,but in the second...I should write my ip address and then my domain?

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
********* mail.myguidetravel.com mail

****-> means my IP, and instead of mail.myguidetravel.com I should write my domain?

Thanks on advance,

Felipe

Did you look at the Zimbra Quick Start Guide that I mentioned in a previous reply to you? That has the full details of what you should have in your hosts file.
