[SOLVED] CentOS???

[abacabb]

The correct hostname is mail.mymailhost.com please replace "tom" with mail.mymailhost.com

# vi /etc/sysconfig/network

# cat /etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=yes
NETWORKING_IPV6=no
HOSTNAME=mail.mymailhost.com # the correct hostname
DOMAINNAME=mymailhost.com


then reboot your server and find "cannot figure out hostname on localhost" in mailbox.log

HTH

I completed the above. What's next?

"then reboot your server and find "cannot figure out hostname on localhost" in mailbox.log

Or attach mailbox.log

I've attached the new log to this reply.

The format of this file is incorrect, look in the Quick Start Installation Guide (or search the forums for numerous posts on the subject) for the correct format.

Your DNS is also incorrect, you are using the FQDN of the server in your dig commands instead of the domain name: mymailhost.com - you need to correct your DNS set-up.

Remember though, my only issue is that the following zimlets failed to install:

Actually you have more 'issues' than the zimlets not installing, this will cause you problems if you don't correct it. Go to the Split DNS article and follow the instructions there on how to configure your DNS correctly and you can verify the correct set-up by using the commands in the 'Verify...' section of that article.

I followed the split dns directions about 3 times with the same results. It seems pretty straight forward. I don't see what could be wrong. But I'll check it again tonight along with the hosts file directions in the quick start.


I send/receive just fine to hotmail, gmail, and others. My dns reports come out great.

I can tell you that your DNS is incorrect and so is your hosts file and it most likely doesn't give the correct output as mentioned in the SPlit DNS article.

I send/receive just fine to hotmail, gmail, and others. My dns reports come out great.

Whether you can send/receive enail isn't the whole point, your current configuration will cause you problems such as the one here: Is there a way to configure Domain Literals?

You could post the information form the Split DNS 'Verify..' section to prove that you have configured your DNS correctly.

Cool.....I'll do that tonight after work. I really appreciate the help.

I'm still at work...but I was trying to find where the hosts file example was. I went into the quick start section but did not see it there. You said earlier that my hosts file's format was incorrect and that I needed to reference the quick start section.

Could you point me in the right direction? I wanted to do this as soon as I get home.

Also, once this "DNS issue" is fixed, what will be the procedure for installing the failed zimlets? I'm still trying to figure out how all of this is going to tie together.


-----------------------


I just noticed this...When I go into my admin console and click on zimlets in the right pane, I see the "missing" zimlets there with the status Disabled. Does this mean that they are installed and I can just toggle the status? I wanted to make sure before trying so I know I won't "break" something.




Also....Here is the results of the "verify" of my split dns configuration. I did the dig command using only the domain name this time.


dig mymailhost.com mx

I just gave it a try...toggling them did nothing. When I logged in as a user only the yahoo emotions zimlet was displayed.

[abacabb]

Any ideas?
