Default @mail.domainname.com issue
This is my second attempt at installing Zimbra 7.0 RHEL on CentOS 5.5 ... I am using a new domain name I have just registered where I have better access and results with DNS management opposed to the previous domain name I have been attempting to use with Zimbra.

Everything seems to be working ok with the install. I am using the domain name: scriptschools.com and I can access the admin control panel at the URL: https://mail.scriptschools.com:7071/

However, all of my admin email account is set as: admin@mail.scriptschools.com and when I go to create a new email address I it gives me the following domain: @mail.scriptschools.com when my email address domain should be of course: @scriptschools.com

I am following the Zimbra wiki Split DNS article and I am experiencing mixed results. Any suggestions would be welcomed.

The following is the content of my named.conf (/var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf)

file:

Code:
options {
       directory "/var/named";
       dump-file "/var/named/data/cache_dump.db";
       statistics-file "/var/named/data/named_stats.txt";
forwarders { 184.107.148.154 ; };
};
include "/etc/rndc.key";
// We are the master server for mail.scriptschools.com
zone "mail.scriptschools.com" {
    type master;
    file "db.mail.scriptschools.com";
};
Ok... here are the results of the Verify section of the Wiki Split DNS Article:

This question has been answered many times in the forums. Near the end of the install you were asked if you wanted to change the domain name, you should have read the message then answered 'Yes'. At that point you should have changed the domain name to "scriptschools.com" otherwise you will get the FQDN of the server as your domain name just as the message states. You can either remove the current install and do it again correctly or you can rename the domain.

Just telling us "mixed results" doesn't actually tell us what's wrong. Go to the 'Verify...' section of the Split DNS article and post the output of all the commands in that section.

Ok... I have edited my original post and have posted all of the commands in the 'Verify...' section of the Split DNS article above in my original post. Please let me know if I need to change anything there.

The output form them seems fine so what are these 'mixed results' that you're getting?

Ok, the web client seems to be working fine... I have sent and received a few emails and that looks good.

However, when I try to add an account for the domain in Zimbra Desktop I get the following error:

Cannot connect to "https://mail.scriptschools.com/service/soap/". Please check host/port and network connectivity.

Is this from a LAN or an external machine? The server is on a public IP address, correct? Does the server have a firewall and/or SElinux enabled? Do you actualluy have https enabled on the server?

This is an external machine on a public IP address. Here is info on firewall and SElinux

Code:
[root@mail ~]# selinuxenabled &
[1] 3510
and iptables

Code:
[root@mail ~]# iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)

I am just in the process of trialing a migration to ZCS 7. I just ran the 7.0.0 install in CentOS 5.5 this morning.

At no time during the install was I asked to change the domain name. Can you please elaborate on where this selection should be made - as I too have an install that is user@zimbra7.company.ie now - instead of user@company.ie

Here is the scrollback of the end of the install process. Apologies for the big copy/paste but I think the answer would be helpful to many people. While it doesn't document the complete install, it shows all questions that were asked after which services to install - and OK to Modify system ?

Can you please point out exactly where the change needs to be made to stop zimbra using the server as the domain name.

Thanks in advance.

The important question in my previous post was, have you enabled https on your server? My guess is that you haven't and that's why you're getting an error message from ZD.

That question is always asked the first time you do a clean install of Zimbra (never on an upgrade or reinstall) and it's asked earlier in the installation process. See the Quick Start Installation Guide P16 or this: http://www.zimbra.com/docs/os/latest...0Software.html.

I assume that your DNS records do have "company.ie" as the domain name with valid A & MX records pointing to "zimbra7.company.ie"?
