Hi BTDOWN,
We all understand your fustration, but remember that support for the OSS edition is quite comprhensive in the wiki.
Please do not take your fustrations out on our moderators as it isn't tolerated.

That aside, it looks like there's a problem with your dns/hosts file. Your hosts file needs to reflect the IP of your local machine's internal IP address. I say that because your DNS indicates that you are running an internal DNS, but your hosts indicates an routable IP address.

Here is my server's host file:

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx tusd-exch01.tombstone.k12.az.us tusd-exch01
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

Change it to reflect your own, backup your old one, and save your new one. Then run:
service network restart

... and you think that matches this from the wiki?

Why are you using an IP address instead of the hostname? What's in your hosts file? Did you read the section about resolving LDAP errors during installation? Have you tried any of the resolutions from there?

Did you have a little fit of temper since you posted the first reply? I don't actualy remember being rude to you in any of my posts.

The replies were meant to point you to the correct information and not 'I know something you don't' but if you deem that to be "snide" then so be it. I'm sure there's plenty of people that will help you.

I still am unable to get it resolved, even with the suggested changes.
I decided to download the VMware virtual applicance (which works fine) and is allowing me to test drive and evaluate the suite for my needs. I'll attempt installation again, after the Ubuntu packages mature a bit more.

Thank you for your assistance.

Everyone in the file like this you have to add semi colons to the backend of ones listed here. They are not shown in the example files on here. I pointed them out in red. atleast that solved my problem because it was trying to run everything together on me. I think they are for putting in statements but they must have to be after lines.

everything worked and is good to go now.  I had to add semi colons to the backends of this file pointed out in red here.  Now everything is working.

Yes, just download the ubuntu desktop from www.ubuntu.com and it couldnt even be easier to install. I also agree that zimbra will be a little over your head right now if you have troubles with ubuntu.

Thanks
