my hosts looks like this:

127.0.0.1	localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.0.207	ataman.serapis.pl ataman

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

i've got the same error message. i want to run zimbra on my computer (ataman) on lan (lan ip: 192.168.0.207). so how should look my hosts file??

[shibu]

is ataman.serapis.pl resolving to 192.168.0.207 when you run...the below command on the system where you are installing ZCS

I assume you want to create email accounts for serapis.pl instead of ataman.serapis.pl, so you should have an MX record for serapis.pl as well.

host ataman.serapis.pl

/etc/hostname shoud have ataman.serapis.pl

---
DNS record if you use BIND on the authoritative name server for serapis.pl

ataman.serapis.pl. A 192.168.0.207
ataman.serapis.pl. MX 0 ataman.serapis.pl.
serapis.pl. MX 0 ataman.serapis.pl.

To save you from any future hassles and errors you definitely need to look closely at all errors and instructions supplied by Zimbra to ensure a smooth installation.

First problem I see is that you are trying to install a package of Zimbra designed for Ubuntu 6.0.4 onto Ubuntu 8.0.4. as indicated by first message

WARNING: ZCS is currently only supported on Ubuntu Server 6.06 LTS.
You are attempting to install on Ubuntu 8.04 which may not work.

I strongly suggest you use the latest version of Zimbra kindly provided by dijichi2 which has been built especially for Ubuntu 8.04
It can be found here for download.

The next issue is your hosts file.
It is really important that you have a fully qualified domain name as email addresses use the domain and not the hostname of a computer.
The message below from your screenshot indicated this

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

ip     FQHN     HN

If you look at your hosts file, it does not follow this format.

You need to change the line

192.168.7.161    mailserver     mail

To something similar to (where yourdomain.com is your actual domain name as defined in the DNS server you use)

192.168.7.161    mail.yourdomain.com     mail

Which leads me to the next thing you may have trouble with, you need to have setup a proper DNS record for the host you have in your hosts file (ie an A record and MX record).
If you are unsure what these things mean, check out the Zimbra Wiki, or search the forums, or even search the internet on instruction for setting up DNS server for ubuntu.

Hope this helps.

Is it possible to test the software without the DNS?

u can find more about the packages at Ubuntu -- Ubuntu Packages Search

hope that resolves your problem...

Installed 5.0.7 on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS as the topic states. I followed the instructions, have all the ports (with the exception of 80 and 443) forwarded on the firewall. I had to change the SSH and Zimbra remote port of 22 default to 666 (22 is for the firewall itself, utilized by the company that manages our network equipment). I believe I have everything configured correctly, but I have a gut feeling I'm having a DNS issue.

I am using a test domain (i.e. one that does not match the company domain). I can ping it from my workstation and it will resolve to the external IP. Must I have a split dns setup so that if I'm internal it forwards to the internal IP, and if I'm external it uses the external IP? This is just a test implementation, so I don't mind adding and removing whatever is possible.

I'm getting ahead of myself. The issue that crops up is that I get a deferred message. I can send out, but can't receive mail. I can telnet from the box, TO itself on 7025 no problem, and I can SSH to the internal and external ip on port 666.

In the message queue I get:

"connect to mail.tsctest.info [167.206.221.74]: connection timed out"

I realize I'm not giving you guys a TON to go on here, and I'm new to Linux/Zimbra but I'm willing to work hard to listen, learn, and troubleshoot this. Please let me know which logs you'd need to further assist me with this, and I'll be very happy to provide them. Also, if there are results from tests you'd like me to run, I can do that as well. Thanks very much everyone!
