Default DNS ERROR resolving ... mewbie
Hi there

I am a total beginner in both zimbra and linux!

I get 2 errors when i install:

DNS ERROR resolving mail.pmjdk.dk
It is suggested that the hostname be resolveable via DNS
Change hostname [Yes] n


DNS ERROR resolving MX for mail.pmjdk.dk
It is suggested that the domain name have an MX record configured in DNS
Change domain name? [Yes] n

I'm not 100% what to do - i tried to follow the guide, but in the field of DNS it doesn't say that much! (what to setup and so on)

I own the site: pmjdk.dk and i changed the IP adresse in dns under A pmjdk.dk and A mail.pmjdk.dk to point at my wan ip address and (for test purpose) my local ip is DMZ

I can see the login page if i type https://*mywanip*:7071/zibraAdmin - but not if i type https://mail.pmjdk.dk:7071......

If you reply, please tell me excatly what to do and how to do it - thanks

Michael

You need to have a MX (Mail Exchange) record added to your DNS which will point your domain pmjdk.dk to mail.pmjdk.dk.

Sorry, try the following as I mis-read your post
Code:
dig pmjdk.dk  mx
also just to check all your ZCS services are running
Code:
su - zimbra
zmcontrol status

Code:
cat /etc/resolv.conf
cat /etc/hosts

I think i just got something from it !?
mail.pmjdk.dk. 7200 IN A 62.242.36.51

that IP is the old ip from before i changed it - not my wan ip address
I guess that is the problem??? - the changes havenīt taken affect yet.
How long does that normally take - it was changed over 24 hours ago?

My local IP is DMZ - so it should be totally exposed!

The reason why I ask is that when you performed the dig the queried server had a private IP
