[SOLVED] Can't get a server status

[browser1959]

I just completed my install, tested inbound and outbound email (successful) but cannot get a server status. There is a big red X next to my domain. The server statistics are not functioning as well.

Release 6.0.5_GA_2213.RHEL5_20100202220948 CentOS5 FOSS edition.

Does anyone have any ideas on where to look to get this functioning properly?

Welcome to the forums

A quick search would have hopefully found [SOLVED] After install server status shows errors for all services.

Thanks ... The link you provided pointed me in the right direction. I am running ssh on a non-standard port and I am having logging issues. Will work on it a bit to see what I can find.

It is running now. Here is what I did:

1. I opened up port 22 for ssh and firewalled it to only communicate with localhost
2. The install script did not modify the syslog.conf file to allow logging to the zimbra logs. I ended up installing syslog-ng and ran the scripts from the install process to modify them. It got me close. Here is what it ended up looking like:

options {
sync (0);
time_reopen (10);
log_fifo_size (1000);
long_hostnames (off);
use_dns (no);
use_fqdn (no);
create_dirs (no);
keep_hostname (yes);
};

source s_sys {
file ("/proc/kmsg" log_prefix("kernel: "));
unix-stream ("/dev/log");
internal();
udp(ip(0.0.0.0) port(514));
};

I did have the same problem. The solution in my case was to switch from syslog to rsyslog in the service configuration.
