Debian Fresh Install

[AdelieMan]

I installed Debian (used net install disk, and only installed the basic components, no gui or anything) and copied over the Zimbra installer. Ran it and it notified me that I needed several items. Went ahead and did an apt-get install on those needed packages, and ran the installer.

It ran well after that...I did get a message saying I had a port conflict with port 25. Not sure what that is all about. But that is most likely a clue.

zmcontrol status shows

zimbra@mail:~$ zmcontrol status

As you can imagine its not sending email :-)

here is part of my log file found at /var/log/Zimbra.log

I know in theory why its not working. I just dont know what to do to fix it. I am fairly noob.

Thanks for the help.

Installation problem: port conflicts (port 22)

(apt-get remove exim4)

and followed it, stop and then started zimbra postfix is still not running though. :-(

I guess you are running another MTA as default on this server..ie sendmail
which is listining on port 25.
you need to stop/disable the other email server/mta and then stop start zimbra again.
