Let's confirm that first with the output of the following commands (run on the zimbra server), please post the output here:

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

Well, the DNS all looks correct with one minor change. The resolv.conf doesn't have a search statement in it:

The following is of more concern.

As the DNS is all correct, this should return the IP of your Zimbra server. I assume you have no firewall on this server and AppArmor is disabled? There was a problem on the forums recently with the BIND configuration files having tabs in them rather than spaces, could you check your BIND config and change any tabs to spaces and see if that makes any difference. There is also this problem, can you check the details of that as well.

Thanks for the help Bill....

I renamed the host from webmail to server1 and fixed all files and rebooted and then all went as expected with the install.

I do have tabs in my bind config file, so I will check it. I plan to uninstall and reinstall again...just to make sure.

Glad it's all working for you.

I'm not sure how common this it but it had happened to one forum user, I seem to remember when I used BIND that I had tabs and it didn't cause me any problems. Occasionally there can be problems with unprintable characters in thing like the hosts file, now that does cause a problem. Anyway, enjoy your new install.

Bill,

I figured out what my problem is/was with the IO::Socket error. I am testing ZCS 6 on Ubuntu with a ZFS filesystem. I have been using ZFS in freebsd for most of the year and wondered how zimbra would perform with a ZFS filesystem. I know ZFS is not supported/recommended...and obviously something hickups the installation.

If I do an install with a ext3 and just tonight a jfs filesystem, the install works flawlessly, but as soon as I mount a ZFS pool for the /opt directory, I get the IO::Socket::INET error....I have no clue why a ZFS filesystem would cause that...but it does not do it when /opt is a jfs or ext3 filesystem....I noticed in an earlier post you prefer xfs...which I have not tried either.

Anyway...thanks again for the reply...
