Network Version on CentOS/Ubuntu

[vangundypw]

Hello All,

I am new to Zimbra and had a question. I know it says that the network version of Zimbra must run on RHEL but I was curious as to if it will install on CentOS? I would think it would but I just want to make sure. If so, is there anything I need to change in the install process or any "heads up" I need to know about?

Finally, we utilize Ubuntu 6.06 as servers, workstations and LTSP. Does the network version of Zimbra run on Ubuntu? I would much rather run Zimbra on Ubuntu then CentOS, however we are crunched for time and must have our email server up within 2 months or less so I don't know if that's an option.

Thanks for any and all help you all might be able to give me.

Welcome to the forums.

Yes, Zimbra will run on CentOS, I use it on CentOS 4.3 (I use the OSS version but the Network version is effectively the same) but the supported platform is RHEL. Because of the support status, I'd check with your support contact at Zimbra to see if CentOS is OK & supported.

As for Ubuntu, I think severeal people have got Zimbra working on it but again the question of support is your problem.

Bill,

I've asked several time about getting CentOS supported (as being compatible with RHES), the answer is a big "no"...

I had a feeling that was the case, then I'm afraid he'll have to go with a RHEL subscription for the Network Edition and Ubuntu will definitely be out.
