Is ZCS 5.0 be installed on Mac OS X 10.[45].x Server ONLY ?

[dchen]

It's unclear from the documentation if the ZCS 5.0.x can be installed on a Mac running OS X 10.[45].x Client or just on the 10.[45].x Server ONLY ??!! Thx. -D

Either will work but you have to take steps to avoid port conflicts if you install on OSX Server.

Hi
Actually, I installed ZCS 5.0.x on a MacBook running 10.5.7 client (NOT server). and ran into the following question/error with the zmsetup.pl:

DNS ERROR resolving MX for myzimbra.mydomain.com
It is suggested that the domain name have an MX record configured in DNS
Change domain name ? [yes]

I have the myzimbra.mydomain.com host (installed with ZCS 5.0.x) configured with a A and MX records in the mydomain.com DNS server (a Xserve running 10.5.x Leopard server). Any idea ? why I need to change the domain name in question ? Thx, -D

Hi,

DNS ERROR resolving MX for myzimbra.mydomain.com
It is suggested that the domain name have an MX record configured in DNS
Change domain name ? [yes]

The myzimbra.mydomain.com (installed with ZCS 5.0.x) has a static IP assigned to it, and has both A and MX record in a DNS server which is an Xserve running 10.5.x Leopard server. Any idea why it complained and need to change domain name ? Thx, -D
