I gather you figured you had to:
tar -xzvf file
cd dir
./install.sh

However, since this is your first install you shouldn't be using the 5.0.6 community build from SF, as of 5.0.9 now officially build for that platform - current version on the Zimbra open source downloads page is 5.0.14.

Here's what my cli looks like but I am obviously not getting it to install Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?:

"*root@ubuntu:/tmp#* install zcs-5.0.6_GA_2314.UBUNTU8.FRANKLIN -t /etc
install: omitting directory `zcs-5.0.6_GA_2314.UBUNTU8.FRANKLIN'"

Tidbit: Franklin's the 5.0 'branch', GnR is 6.0

Thanks for the reply. The install guide "http://wiki.zimbra.com/index.php?title=Ubuntu_8.04_LTS_Server_(Hardy_Hero n)_Install_Guide#Installing_ZCS" says to "tar -xzf zc*" which is a little different. I am not sure why.

"build from SF"
I do not know what that means..source file? (I know I am new to linux and zimbra both - sorry)

"as of 5.0.9 now officially build for that platform - current version on the Zimbra open source downloads page is 5.0.14."

Sorry what does "as of 5.0.9 mean?" Are you trying to say I should be using a later version? I am not understanding your sentence. I thought later versions were mpore like betas and should be avoided (I am used to microsoft).

"Tidbit: Franklin's the 5.0 'branch', GnR is 6.0"

I don't know what a branch is or a GNR sorry. Yep I am totally new but I will try to figure out what you are saying on my own I guess but right now sounds like Chinese

Go to the other thread that you've started and answer the questions there.

Ok. Thanks. I think I understand what he is saying now. He is saying use 5.0.9 or LATER. Ok. Will do.
