[SOLVED] ZCS multidomain on one server

[onlyurocks]

Dear All,

My first post on Zimbra forums.
I 'm new in Zimbra and studying install for my lab so I have an layout

I want to install Zimbra ZCS on 1 server and hosted 3 domain on it (I know zimbra can hosted many domain)

Hostname: zmail.lab.com
IP: 192.168.0.1
Distro: Ubuntu 8.04LTS
3 Domain: lab1.net, lab2.net, lab3.net


1. First DNS Server, I setup on it so I need 3 MX records for 3 domain:
I finished setup Bind9, I can dig mx, nslookup 3 domain
This is db:

$TTL 604800
lab01.net.      IN      SOA     zmail.lab.com.        admin.lab.com. (
                        070725  ;
                        604800  ;
                        86400   ;
                        2419200 ;
                        604800 )
;
        IN      NS      zmail.lab.com.
        IN      MX      10      mail.lab01.net.
zmail        IN      A      192.168.0.1

$TTL 604800
lab02.net.      IN      SOA     zmail.lab.com.        admin.lab.com. (
                        070725  ;
                        604800  ;
                        86400   ;
                        2419200 ;
                        604800 )
;
        IN      NS      zmail.lab.com.
        IN      MX      10      mail.lab02.net.
zmail        IN      A      192.168.0.1

$TTL 604800
lab03.net.      IN      SOA     zmail.lab.com.        admin.lab.com. (
                        070725  ;
                        604800  ;
                        86400   ;
                        2419200 ;
                        604800 )
;
        IN      NS      zmail.lab.com.
        IN      MX      10      mail.lab03.net.
zmail        IN      A      192.168.0.1

2. My question is:
- I know ZCS version don't have option domain level admin and admin account of the first domain was setup is control two others ?? (Example: lab01.net is the first domain when install zimbra and admin@lab01.net was administrator of two others domains). I must install the first domain and add two other, is that right????

- When I setup ZImbra, it took hostname: zmail.lab.com is server name
- Did my DNS was wrong configuration? Because I sent an test email between domains, it said hostname or domain zmail.lab.com not found???

Thanks for any reply,

Post the output of the following commands (run on the Zimbra server) for the primary domain:

cat /etc/hosts
cat /etc/resolv.conf
dig yourdomain.com any
dig yourdomain.com mx
host `hostname` <- use that exact command with backticks not single quotes

Dear Phoenix,

I solved my dNS issues, I miss db of lab.com zone.

This is all db zones

db.lab01.net

$TTL 604800
lab01.net.	IN	SOA	zmail.lab.com.	admin.lab.com. (
			070725	;
			604800	;
			86400	;
			2419200	;
			604800 )
;
	IN	NS	zmail.lab.com.
	IN	MX	10	mail.lab01.net.

db.lab02.net

$TTL 604800
lab02.net.	IN	SOA	zmail.lab.com.	admin.lab.com. (
			070725	;
			604800	;
			86400	;
			2419200	;
			604800 )
;
	IN	NS	zmail.lab.com.
	IN	MX	10	mail.lab02.net.

db.lab03.net

$TTL 604800
lab03.net.	IN	SOA	zmail.lab.com.	admin.lab.com. (
			070725	;
			604800	;
			86400	;
			2419200	;
			604800 )
;
	IN	NS	zmail.lab.com.
	IN	MX	10	mail.lab03.net.

db.lab.com

$TTL 604800
@	IN	SOA	zmail.lab.com.	admin.lab.com. (
			070725	;
			604800	;
			86400	;
			2419200	;
			604800 )
;
	IN	NS	zmail.lab.com.
zmail	IN	A	192.168.0.1

Done for my DNS, now I can send email from any local domains

And the other question:

- I know ZCS version don't have option domain level admin and admin account of the first domain was setup is control two others ?? (Example: lab01.net is the first domain when install zimbra and admin@lab01.net was administrator of two others domains). I must install the first domain and add two other, is that right????[


Thanks and best regards,

Yes, you will install one domain which will be the 'primary' domain during the installation of Zimbra - once that's done you can add as many domains as you like.
