[SOLVED] Installation Fails

[tgeorge]

Trying to install zcs-NETWORK-5.0.11 on ubuntu 8.04

I'm installing from a terminal on the local host with the GUI running in the background.

At the end of the install where the menu forces you to set the Zimbra admin password I get everything configured properly including the license file location. The problem is that all I get is the option to quit without applying changes.

6) zimbra-logger: Enabled
7) zimbra-spell: Enabled
8) Default Class of Service Configuration:
+Enable Instant Messaging Feature: Disabled
+Enable Briefcases Feature: Enabled
+Enable Tasks Feature: Enabled
+Enable Notebook Feature: Enabled

9) Enable default backup schedule: yes
c) Collapse menu
r) Start servers after configuration yes
s) Save config to file
q) Quit

Address unconfigured (**) items or correct ldap configuration (? - help) q
Quit without applying changes? [No] y

[quanah]

Your post shows that your configuration isn't correct. See how it says:

"Address unconfigured (**) or correct ldap configuration(?-help)

It means your LDAP configuration is not right.

[tgeorge]

Thanks, any idea how I can diagnose what is wrong with my LDAP config?

[uxbod]

It may be because your DNS is not configured correctly. So we can check please post the following

cat /etc/hosts
cat /etc/resolv.conf
dig yourdomain.com mx
dig yourdomain.com any
host `hostname` <- note backticks and not single quotes

Post the output of all the commands that you were asked for in the post above (please format each of the command output with code tags so it can be easily read - it's the # symbol above the edit box).

type host `hostname`. hostname is a system command that will be expanded into the host command. well the issue is that no MX is available for your domain. Is your ZCS server behind a firewall on a private IP ?

[phoenix]

From the results above, you would appear to have no MX record in your local DNS server. I assume you're also behind a firewall?

You should type (copy/paste if you like) the following command as you see it (don't put your server name in it):

host `hostname`

My ZCS server is behind a firewall. My ZCS server has a public IP address.
