The likelihood is that you don't have valid DNS A & MX records pointing to your Zimbra server. If you're behind a NAT device you'll need a Split DNS set-up. You will also need a correctly set-up /etc/hosts file, check the Quick Start Installation Guide for details.

Ya, I have read the tutorials about eh maybe 20-30 times both here and at howtoforge. Zimbra Collaboration Suite Open Source Edition On CentOS | HowtoForge - Linux Howtos and Tutorials. Do you guys have any suggestions I have been honestly working on this for about a week or so. I am sure someone else has ran into this before. Any files I should be checking first?


According to the howtoforge tutorials this should be setup right? This is behind a nat box.


nslookup mail.*********.com

Address: 192.168.0.120#53

Name: mail.**********.com

/etc/hosts

more /etc/hosts

# that require network functionality will fail.

**.***.**.** mail.**********.com mail
192.168.0.120



/etc/resolv.conf
search **********.com
nameserver 192.168.0.120


Anybody see anything wrong here?

Thanks

Also check to see if SElinux is enabled, I had problems in the beginning related SElinux - which I didn't realize was causing most of our problems.

 /etc/selinux/config

-Jessie

[jerkykid]

Doesnt look like it is.....
Any other ideas?
pulling my hair out, lol




# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
# enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
# permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
# disabled - SELinux is fully disabled.
SELINUX=disabled
# SELINUXTYPE= type of policy in use. Possible values are:
# targeted - Only targeted network daemons are protected.
# strict - Full SELinux protection.
SELINUXTYPE=targeted

# SETLOCALDEFS= Check local definition changes
SETLOCALDEFS=0

Have you also disabled IPtables ? With respect to your DNS setup please post the output from the following (as your are NAT'ing) you do not need to hide your IP address

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

Well, the problem is that all you've posted is details of your hosts file and no information about your DNS records. I know you read the forums yesterday and were looking at a thread that asked for debugging output such as the following:

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

Run those commands on the zimbra server and post the output here (to make it easier to read wrap the output of each command in 'code', highlight the text and hit the # symbol above).

Here is my output from host `hostname`

host `hostname`
mail.**********.com has address 192.168.0.120
mail.***********.com mail is handled by 10 mail.*********.com.

Output from dig yourdomain.com mx

dig mail.**********.com mx

Your hosts file is incorrect, you need to change the public IP address and replace it with the LAN IP address.

[jerkykid]

That did it thanks sooo much!!!!!!!!

Uh, well next problem is I have been working on this for so long I have forgot the admin password.

How can I change this? I tried logging in as root and entering this command

zxprov sp *******@mail.************.com *****

but no luck
any suggestions?

Thanks again for helping me!
