[SOLVED] zimbra 100% cpu/hdd/freeze on starting server

[seravitae]

Hey guys, finally sorted out split-horizon DNS, zimbra installs perfectly until i get to "Starting Servers..." and then my harddrive light is pretty much permanently on, i cannot hear the hard drive seeking randomly but it may be seeking sequentially, and the vmware image becomes totally unresponsive after waiting 10 minutes of nothing happening requring a force restart.

Upon restarting same thing happens. If i uninstall zimbra I get control of the Pc back..

Any ideas? I have no idea what the heck is goin on..

Cheers

How much memory do you have allocated to the VM ?

[seravitae]

it was 512. I jacked it up to 1.5GB and zimbra runs fine. thanks buddy

Certainly according to the system requirements PDF the minimum for testing/evaluation is 1GB and for Production 2GB but ideally 4GB. Glad you are up and running now
