Initializing Documents Hangs

[ktodd]

Hello,

I am trying to test Zimbra. I think I have followed the instructions. However the install is hanging at "Initializing Documents...". It I let it run it eventually locks the server.

I am running CentOS 5.2. I have attached the log file.

Any suggestions?


Thanks,
Karl

Did you find a solution to this problem yet? I'm having the same issue running Centos 5.1 (using RHEL5 packages)

I had the same problem. I had a Linux-Vserver Guest and didn't have lo interface. After creating the loopback interface, install worked fine...

I'm running mine in a vmware server with centos 5.1 as the guest. I checked lo and it existed, but for some reason localhost was not defined in /etc/hosts. Added the line "127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost" and it successfully installed. Not sure why it wasn't there by default. Weird

I had this issue also in CentOS 5.2. To give a little back ground on my installation, when i tried to install first i had a dns error and a port conflict error on port 25.

To resolve the dns error i created a split dns setup as per these instructions, i needed the split dns because i am behind a isa proxy server, and because i do not have dns entries for my domain on the internet.

To stop the port conflict, i just needed to stop the sendmail service.

when i tried to install after these steps, the setup hung after the "initializing documents .." step.

To solve this i followed the suggestion in this thread to replace the entry in my /etc/hosts file with "127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost domain actualhostname"

Im not sure if the /etc/hosts file got corrupted during the setup but after fixing it zimbra installed correctly.
