Problems Installing Open Source Edition on Fedora 9

[DasGoat]

I'm sorry if I was not clear.

I am a hobbyist / small business user and I can not dedicate as much time to this project as I would like,

What I was trying to say was that instruction #17

17. Run the command setup then system services and un-tick the following services.

would seem to tell me to run a setup command, without telling me what, exactly, I am running, so there for I don't understand what I am trying to setting up.

I realize that it is at times trying to work with novices such as myself, but experience has taught me that when people don't understand you, they take what you say literally, often not what you meant. So I guess what I was asking is "am I taking these instructions too literally?"

What step 17. means is to disable certain services that may conflict with Zimbra. For example, you dont' want another mail server listening on port 25, as Zimbra will want to use that. So whatever this guide is saying, is to disable X services. I prefer cmd-line tools, so one way to see, and enable/disable, services starting and not being enabled, is "chkconfig".

So "chkconfig --list" will show you all services installed, and if they are set to run, what runlevel. Let us assume that you have a mail server installed and/or running. Could be sendmail, could be postfix, could be exim. So a "chkconfig --list|grep mail" will tell you if sendmail is installed, and if it is running.

"chkconfig --list|grep mail
sendmail 0: off 1: off 2: off 3: off 4: off 5: off 6: off"

And if it was enabled, this command would disable it at all runlevels, with the 2nd command shutting it down (if it is running).

# chkconfig --level 2345 sendmail off
# /etc/init.d/sendmail stop

Same for apache or any other webserver... anything listening on port 80 will conflict with Zimbra. HTH...
