Going Crazy (Fresh Install Problems)

[hirnschmalz]

I want to install zimbra 4.0.1 on a fresh debian box.

at the end of the installation i got the following error

Starting servers...Could not create the Java virtual machine.
Done.
Initializing Documents...Could not create the Java virtual machine.
/opt/zimbra/bin/zmjava: line 1: Error: command not found

So I restarted zimbra and zmcontrol status shows the following

zimbra@mx:~$ zmcontrol status
Host mx.mydomain.tld
        antispam                Running
        antivirus               Running

                zmlogswatchctl is not running
        mailbox                 Stopped
                mysql.server is not running

        snmp                    Running
        spell                   Running

The mysql logfile showed the following errors

060915 10:45:20  mysqld started

and in the zimbra.log i found this

Sep 15 10:47:54 mx zimbramon[11900]: 11900:info: Starting mailbox

Can anyone please help me.

SystemInformation:

RAM: (min) 512MB
Processor: 1GHz

I know the minimum requirements for zimbra are higher, but this is only a test/private installation.

I also read this post and tried to reduce the memory amount

from

zimbra@mx:~$ zmlocalconfig | grep mem
mysql_memory_percent = 40
tomcat_java_heap_memory_percent = 30

to

zimbra@mx:~$ zmlocalconfig | grep mem
mysql_memory_percent = 20
tomcat_java_heap_memory_percent = 20

without any success.

I did this with the commands

zimbra@mx:~$ zmlocalconfig -e tomcat_java_heap_memory_percent="20"
zimbra@mx:~$ zmlocalconfig -e mysql_memory_percent="20"

I still can't get zimbra running.

thank you for any hint

To me, these errors indicate only the lack of RAM.
