[SOLVED] Need install help on CentOS 5.6 VPS

[jonnjonzzn]

Trying to install zcs-7.1.0_GA_3140.RHEL5_64.20110329150833 on up to date Centos 5.6 64 bit. This is VZ VPS and I have read where that is not a supported platform and if that is the cause of the problem I'll move on but thought I would try here first as others have reported it a working platform. I also realize there are tons of similar threads but none of them have helped me solve this as I've tried DNS many different ways according to various forum posts to no avail. No NAT/FW (AFAIK).

Here is the background:

My 64-bit CentOS returns this:
# hostname
mail.mentalbarnstorming.com

(changed it to yours of course)

I believe that is one of the many different options I have tried. I can try again I suppose. Thanks for the response.

I have moved to a Xen PV VPS and everything is working fine.

So what was the problem? Was the vps limited? I have the same problem and I wonder if I need to upgrade in order to installzimbra

Java and OpenVZ apparently don't play well together without a great deal of tweaking to java parameters to control memory usage. I decided it wasn't worth it and most likely wouldn't provide a stable, long-term solution.

My Xen PV VPS is working very well.
