Error - zimbra user exists with incorrect home directory: /home/zimbra
Exiting

Where is the problem?

[ArcaneMagus]

Looks like you already have a "zimbra" user on the system with it's home directory set to /home/zimbra. Did you try to create this user or something? (during install even?)

To install Zimbra on this machine you would need to remove the "zimbra" user.

[fir3x]

As a continuation of ArcaneMagus comments if you have a previous setup in a different location you can use the "usermod -d '/opt/zimbra/' zimbra" command to move the home directory

[ArcaneMagus]

I would still recommend removing the user entirely and allowing the setup script to re-create it. Who knows what other settings are messed up with that user as compared to the user that the script creates...

[Megavince]

Thak you, I remove my user Zimbra and replace all files but now I saw Operations logged to /tmp/install.log.7144

ERROR: Installation can not proceeed. Please fix your /etc/hosts file
to contain:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

Zimbra install grants mysql permissions only to localhost and
localhost.localdomain users. But Fedora/RH installs leave lines such
as these in /etc/hosts:

127.0.0.1 myhost.mydomain.com myhost localhost.localdomain localhost

This causes MySQL to reject users coming from 127.0.0.1 as users from
myhost.mydomain.com. You can read more details at:

Check the format of the hosts file in the Quick Start Installation Guide and modify yours accordingly.

[adeelarifbhatti]

make the /etc/hosts like following and things may work out.



127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.0.1 zimbra.domain.com zimbra

That line is incorrect, it should be in the format specified in the documentation and all over these forums.
