Has anyone done a successfull install with FC5 ?

[crp]

i am not having much luck with getting Zimbra to fully install and operate.
I did an install in order to re-install so that I could change some port addresses (check my post in Admin forum)

Upon re-install - PROBLEMS.
Here are the error lines from the log:

and on and on like that.

Are there special tricks needed to get Zimbra going with FC5?

Disable any firewall or selinux, make sure your DNS & /etc/hosts file are correct - uninstalll zimbra with './install.sh -u' kill any remaining processes and then reinstall. That will, of course, completely wipe out your current files. Search the forums if you want to see what others have done.

Disable any firewall or selinux ...

oh boy, not a good option

SELinux is a major reason why FC5 is being put to use .

[phoenix]

If you want to use SElinux with zimbra I suggest you disable it and get Zimbra running first, then try and get SElinux to play nice with zimbra.

[mcevoys]

SE Linux aside, I'm running 4.03 on FC5 (migrated from a different box running 4.03 on FC4).

No issues, install was clean.

[glitch23]

Same here, went from FC4 with 3.2 to FC5 and 4.0.3 only issue I had is when you upgrade either SSH or SSL, i forget which one, it will cause a segmentation fault, as the Crypt-SSL built with Zimbra, is not the most current. Luckily all it take to fix is compiling the new Crypt-SSL and replacing the SSLeay.so file and everything is fine and dandy once again.

I removed /opt/zimbra and the sendmail package.
made sure the BIND/named is off.
killed all processes that were owned by zimbra.

I am running pmWiki so I left the FC's Apache running.

crossing my fingers and about to retry the install.sh ...

[crp]

well, I had to reinstall sendmail so that I could get fetchmail to install. Anyway, upon doing the zimbra install I got

Setting defaults...Can't call method "answer" on an undefined value at /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmsetup.pl line 529.

line 529 is in the midst of a loop,

 (isEnabled("zimbra-mta")) {

                                my @answer = $ans->answer;
                                foreach my $a (@answer) {
                                        if ($a->type eq "MX") {
                                                my $h = getDnsRecords ($a->exch
                                                my @ha = $h->answer;
                                                foreach $h (@ha) {
                                                        if ($h->type eq 'A') {
                                                                progress "\tMX:

line 529 is "my @ha = $h->answer;"

So my guess is that I have a partial install now of zimbra, which is probably worse than a bombed installation.
