Is zimbra compatible to Ubuntu 9.10? Also, if I want to upgrade to Ubuntu 9.10, is it possible for me to restore my zimbra backup after installation and setup despite the Linux distro is different?
Thanks for your response...

It's not built for that distribution, it's not tested on that distribution and it's not supported, you may getting it working but there's no guarantee.

Please update your forum profile with the output of the following:

zmcontrol -v

I've had the same problem with a fresh CentOS 5.4 install. The problem is not the formatting of the /etc/hosts file but is caused by the fact that perl is not installed.
During the installation install.sh calls /util/utilfunc.sh and on line 370 of this script perl is used to perform a function.

yum install -y perl

will solve the problem.
