zmprov, how to add the server

[ejecthunter]

hi, i am using the turnkey linux's ZCS 6.0, it has a already built in admin account which i used to login and add my custom domain but it seems that by default mail.example.com has been set in the server list. i tried to add another server relative to my custom domain but i cannot use the web admin gui to add the server,

after a very very very long search about adding server to the ZCS, i came accross somthing called zmprov to add server, i am noob in linux so have no idea how to add it using command line.

can someone please give me a hint as to how to add my custom named server "mail.yyling.com" to the server list so i can start sending and receiving emails.

many thanks!

ahh alright i kinda figured out how to add a server the zimbra cs with command zmprov createServer mail.yyling.com

i still have to delete the default mail.example.com so i used the command zmprov deleteServer mail.example.com but it comes with following error

zimbra@zimbra:~$ zmprov deleteServer mail.example.comERROR: zclient.IO_ERROR (invoke The server localhost failed to respond, server: localhost) (cause: org.apache.commons.httpclient.NoHttpResponseExcept ion The server localhost failed to respond)zimbra@zimbra:~$

i have no idea what the above says so can someone please explain ? thanks
