Unable to install ZCS on a Centos 5, need help

[ronian]

I couldn't install Zimbra on my box. It say's pre requisites package are missing. What are these packages. Im just starting Linux and someone told me about Zimbra.

[phoenix]

It will list the missing packages when you run the installer, you need to install them. Please search the forums, there's several threads that describe how to install Zimbra on CentOS.

thanks a lot bill/phoenix. i managed to install the dependencies but now it is showing new error:

Do You want to verify message store databases integrity?[y] i pressed Y and returned

Error: assertion '-r /opt/zimbra/conf/my.cnf' failed

Could not open required defaults file: /opt/zimbra/conf/my.cnf

I will try to check around and see if i could get answer on this one.

As this is a new install I'd suggest you remove the current version and reinstall from the beginning, run the installer like this:

./install.sh -u

That will remove everything including the /opt/zimbra directory, when you've done that rerun the install and see what errors (if any) you get - you should also look in the installer log file for the output of the installer.

hi phoenix/bill, your solution did work and the installation seems successful but when i tried the web base admin console , it show failed to connect: https://myserver.mydomain.com:7071/

is there any settings in my web server that i need to setup?

What does the output of the following commands show:

su - zimbra
zmcontrol status

hi bill,

this was the message
Unable to determine enabled services from ldap
Unable to determine enebaled services. Cache is out of date or doesn't exist.

Run the following commands on the zimbra server and post the results:

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

I assume you've also disable the firewall and SElinux on this server?

/etc/hosts is wrong it should be

# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
