Error after install when starting up

[tedharris]

Hey all. I'm evaluating the Zimbra Open Source edition, as my company is considering using it instead of Exchange for our small installation of users.

I'm running this on CentOS 4.2. The installation itself worked without any errors.

When I attempt to start Zimbra up, it fails with these messages. I didn't see anything similar in the forums already - advice appreciated.

Very odd. What command are you running?

[bobby]

and what is the output of this:

whoami
ls -l / | grep tmp

Whoops, the 'grep tmp' requested output was a cluestick.

My /tmp dir had incorrect perms. Re-chmodded it to 1777, and I'm crusin now. Don't know how that happened, but glad the fix was so simple.

Thanks gents!
