Default ERROR: Please fix your /etc/hosts file

I try to install Zimbra in Ubuntu 8.04.1 Desktop 386

I using this zimbra installer zcs-5.0.8_GA_2462.UBUNTU6.20080709173036.tgz
Downloaded from
http://www.zimbra.com/community/downloads.html

I extract the file and run the install.sh script

The error prompt out:

Quote:
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
My PC ip is
Code:
henry@henry-desktop:~$ ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:0b:db:11:93:09  
          inet addr:3.244.4.91  Bcast:3.244.4.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::20b:dbff:fe11:9309/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:1059 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:766 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 
          RX bytes:540472 (527.8 KB)  TX bytes:94899 (92.6 KB)
          Interrupt:20 

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback  
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
          RX packets:2487 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:2487 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 
          RX bytes:124689 (121.7 KB)  TX bytes:124689 (121.7 KB)
Then the /etc/host is
Code:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 henry-desktop
3.244.4.91 henry henry 

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
I just add one line
3.244.4.91 henry henry

What wrong? What should I do now?

Thank

This problem has been covered many times in the forums, you should use the search function before asking questions. You need to correct the hosts file and have correct DNS A & MX records installed. Check the documentation: http://www.zimbra.com/community/documentation.html and the wiki: Search results - Zimbra :: Wiki
