Hi,

Successfully built Zimbra. I understand now ,under i386 folder I have my package to be installed. when run install.sh getting following error.

WARNING: ZCS is currently only supported on Ubuntu Server 6.06 and 8.04 LTS.

Should I be running install from i386 folder so that it finds above mentioned packages? Should I be running install as zimbra user? Also please point me to the detailed instructions after building from source.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, could I just ask the obvious first question, which is, given that the error message clearly states that you should use Ubuntu 6 or 8, why is it that you are using 9 ?

Hi Dirk,

I agree its a obvious question, for which I would say I am trying Zimbra on latest ubuntu which is my req .
(I read that it works fine with newer ubuntu but only thing we need to make it beleive that it is either 6.06 or 8.)
In my case I could make it believe that its UBUNTU 6.06.Still I am getting following error..

Make sure zimbra user is using bash shell by modifying /etc/passwd/
