Zimbra install DNS error

[ghettro]

Hi,
I'm trying to get Zimbra to install on Ubuntu 8.04, all the packages install fine however it runs into the problem of not being able to resolve my hostname. I am running BIND9 and I own the domain listed below - I have put in an MX record for pointing to the server.

this is what the install.sh script says

the server is referring to itself for DNS and this works fine, however I just cannot get Zimbra to find the MX and A records during install. I have already looked at the wiki and forums to no avail. What am I doing wrong?

Welcome to the forums

Please post the following information

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

I am still trying to get my first zimbra install work.

I have this error

dns error resolving mx for aptsecurities.com

It looks like you are using dig on the FQDN of your server instead of just your domain.
