[bigmudcake]

Hi all,

A big thanks to dijichi2 , ZCS 5.0.7 for Ubuntu 8.04 LTS is now available for download at SourceForge (click here to download).

Please make sure you vote for Bug 23154 - Ubuntu 8.04 - Hardy Heron which ensures Ubuntu 8.04 LTS is eventually included into the mainstream builds from Zimbra

Cool, thanks. I know these things are time consuming so I really appreciate the time you spend in providing a build for Ubuntu. I will grab it as soon as available and will let you know if there are any issues via this thread

I will also provide a link at the top of this thread so others know where to get it too.

Thanks again for your work.

Hi

5.0.7 packages for Ubuntu 8.04LTS 32bit and 64bit available at the sourceforge link above. Please let me know of any problems.

On a good related note, code for 8.04 started to get added to the main codebase this week, so official support should show up soon.

The good news is that you supplied all the right info in this forum to solve your problem

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.

Ok thought I would mess around with Ubuntu 8.04 this weekend. Found it was easier to install the desktop version, and down load a few server daemons, than install Ubuntu server and download and install a desktop for it. So hopefully that shouldn't matter..?? And I unlocked the 'root' account because after messing with linux since 92 I just cant stand using sudo.

Any way came across this new version of Zimbra and downloaded from Source Forge. And when I go to install I had to install libstdc++5, but everything else went ok on the system check. After asking what "modules" of Zimbra to install and asking if I wanted to modify the system I got the following:

Installing:
zimbra-core
zimbra-ldap
zimbra-logger
zimbra-mta
zimbra-snmp
zimbra-store
zimbra-apache
zimbra-spell

The system will be modified. Continue? [N] y

Any one have any ideas?

Thanks!

I'm sorry, the psychics have left the building. If you give us some errors from the logs we might be able to help. /tmp/install.xxx would give you an idea of where it's failing. It's either failing at preinstall of the core package because you're using a wierd OS setup, or it also fails at that point if you're trying to use the wrong architecture - ie 64bit on 32bit OS.
