FC4 working - suggest update quick start guide

[interoperate]

I got Zimbra up and running today on Fedora Core 4, however the instructions in the Quick Start guide are missing a number of steps. Fortunately I was able to track those down via the forum, thanks to the responses of KevinH of Zimbra.

But a suggestion for KevinH, if the quick start instructions were updated, it would solve lots of common problems making it less frustrating for those trying to install the product.

Key items I found lacking in the quick start guide were:
1. the need to create a sym link to libcrypto.so and libssl.so
2. ensure that FQDN entries in /etc/hosts appear before hostnames, otherwise the creation of the certificate will fail.
3. the correct procedures to install the certificate for both the mta and mailbox

But to Zimbra, thanks for what looks like a really impressive product. Now to actually test the operations as opposed to installation issues. Albeit I've got the Exchange migration issue to test further down the track.

Thanks for the note. The #1 was caused by you installing on FC4, and we released for FC3. This will be fixed when we release a FC4 binary build.

#2 will have a fix in the installer to verify the hosts file is correct. Of course if #2 works then #3 would never have come up.

when do you expect to release a build for fc4? i ask becuase i *could* install on fc4 from the fc3 build but i'd rather not have to jump through to many extra hoops and i'd like get a clean install. otoh, i don't want to have to wait too long to try out zimbra.

thanks!

[KevinH]

Not date yet. When it's ready we'll put it out there.

It appears I am running into the same problem?!?!?

COMMAND: /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmldapinit
/opt/zimbra/openldap/sbin/slappasswd: error while loading shared libraries: libs
sl.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

How can I fix that?

Thanks,

Brent

Yeah, that's the current problem with running on FC4, since FC3 is the only version of Fedora officially supported.

It's actually not hard at all to get it working in FC4 though, you can do it with the steps outlined in the following post:

Have a good one,

I am able to confirm Dynaloader.pm does exist in that directory though.

Brent,
Are you running on a 64bit only OS? We only compile for 32bit at this time so your better off with that.

[bsachnoff]

No, not that I am aware of. This was Fedora Core 4 - the DVD image.

Anyway specifically to tell?

Brent

[bsachnoff]

It appears that I might have grabbed the 64 bit edition (not labeled of course). Let me redo this and I'll update.

Thanks for all the help so far.
