Hi,
When starting the installation I get the message that tells me to fix the hosts file.
Code:
ERROR: Installation can not proceeed. Please fix your /etc/hosts file
to contain:
Where is the ip address of the host,
is the FULLY QUALIFIED host name, and
is the (optional) hostname-only portion
I have gone through the documentation, I have followed the wiki on installing Zimbra in Ubuntu 8.04, but still getting same error. Any help would be GREATLY appreciatted since I am at a dead end.
There go my details:
- Zimbra 6.0
- Ubuntu 8.04 server 64 bits
- I'm installing this on Amazon EC2
Since it is Amazon EC2 I figured I should follow the split DNS route. So I followed the steps in the
Main Page - Zimbra :: Wiki. I have all those files as the wiki says EXCEPT for /etc/resolv.conf that keeps getting back to default state after I reboot the server.
Also as forwarders in the /etc/bind/named.conf.options file I put the DNS servers I have from 1and1 where I bought my domain. I don't know their IPs so I wrote the name for them (ns64.1and1.es).
Anyway I don't think the error I get is related to those details, though.
There goes some more info:
CAT /ETC/HOSTS
Code:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
#79.125.20.35 mail.cristianosuniversitarios.org mail
#
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
#::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
#fe00::0 ip6-localnet
#ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
#ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
#ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
#ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
CAT /ETC/RESOLV.CONF
Code:
search eu-west-1.compute.internal
nameserver 172.16.0.23
After following the wiki,the above file was:
Code:
nameserver 10.227.127.144
But it changes back everytime I reboot the machine.
10.227.127.144 is my internal ip in the amazon ec2 internal network.
My public ip is different.

I have not changed the MX fields in my domain provider, because I had no idea where to point them to. And I thought I had to install zimbra first and then point my domain MX to my zimbra server.
