The download and install zimbra for that platform and install it. The whole thing can be done in around an hour from powering the machine up. I've done it a few times before of course, so call it two hours and you should be covered.

That said, the version you are using really should be working; but as there's no real data in it yet, i'd just build a fresh box.

Thank's for the advice, I'M doing the same thing you recommend with the current Debian Lenny 5.0.4 installation. If I fail on first try, I'll certainly take your advice.

I gave up in Debian Lenny too. Starting fresh with Ubuntu 8.04LTS

I've tried with an old CD I have of Ubuntu 8.04.1 and struggled for a while. I'm trying again on a fresh Ubuntu 8.04.4 server CD freshly burned from my other machine.

I wish it was easier...
