Hi

Welcome to the forums.

Is DNS configured as per this post? Is your /etc/hosts file configured correctly? What's in the log file? When you say you 'tried to access the admin page', what error did you get? Did you use https and not http? Zimbra should start the services after an install, Why did you issue the zmcontrol start command weren't they running?

[nabmed]

hi ;

i folowed the installation steps on quick install guide;

for /etc/hosts i noted my FQDN;

when i type in browser : https://mailsrv.mydomain.aa.bb:7071, it shows "FireFox cant connect to this server";

when i tried to start Zimbra for the first time i got "tomcat is not runing";

is the presence of webmin can make troubles for Tomcat?

really i don't know the source of problem?

think's

[phoenix]

No, webmin doesn't cause problems for Zimbra I use it on my systems. Have you disabled any firewall and/or SElinux?

Was there anything in the logs after install that shows a problem?

[nabmed]

Hello;
yes in FC3 installation i disabled Firewall and SELinux,is it necessary for Zimbra?

after install zimbra didn't shows any error message, it shows "Configuration complete - press return to exit";
Well, that's the zimbra installation Log :

It's advisable to disable SElinux, IMO, as it causes more trouble than it's worth and the firewall can be enabled once you've got Zimbra running correctly.

OK, so I'll go back to my earlier questions - what's in your /etc/hosts file and is DNS set-up correctly so that you have MX records pointing at your mail server?

[nabmed]

hi and think you for your help;

- I explain you my situation:

i have an exesting mail server (exchange 2000 server ) on Windows 2000 server with Active Directory and DNS, all in the same machine (Real physical server srv1) with the domain name : mail.cnops.org.ma;

My Goal is to replace Exchange by Zimbra, to do that i want to preceed as the steps below :

1- I install FC3 with Zimbra on simple PC srv2;
2- I transfer all exchange content to Zimbra;
3- I install FC3 + Zimbra on srv1;
4- I transfer the mail content from zimbra (srv2) to zimbra (srv1);

that's all what i want to do.

This is the content of my /etc/hosts :

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 localhost.cnops.org.ma localhost
212.217.42.251 mailsrv.cnops.org.ma mailsrv

i modified the first line after installing zembra (when i got the problem ).

Before modification it was : 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

should i re-execute ./install.sh and choose upgrade option?
think's;

[phoenix]

You should change the first line of your hosts file back to:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

Is the IP address 212.217.42.251 your public IP address? Is your zimbra server behind a firewall? If it is you need to have the private IP address of the server in the hosts file instead of the 212.x.x.x address.

[nabmed]

hello,

212.217.42.251 is a public address and it's not behind a firewall;

think you;

[phoenix]

Oops, sorry I meant was it behind a NAT router but you've answered that anyway. I think I see what you're trying to do, you want your existing Exchange server to be abailable as mail.cnops.org.ma and your new Zimbra box as mailsrv.cnops.org.ma - is that correct?

If that's what you're after I don't think you have DNS set-up correctly. If I do a 'dig mail.cnops.org.ma' it returns the correct info IP for your Exchange server but if I do the same for your mailsrv.cnops.org.ma it doesn't give any information. There also appears to be no MX records for those servers.

Who looks after the DNS at your organisation? You need them to set it up correctly so your mail servers can be seen. That will be why zimbra can't be 'found'. Just for your info, I can actually telnet to the IP of your zimbra box and get a response from postfix.
