Zimbra on FC5

[nikolans]

Hello,

I have just one question:

I have registred domain name: mydomain.com
I opened subdomain webmail.mysdomain.com that points to hosting machine
with webserver (Apache, Mysql, PHP, ISP config). This hosting machine is
not shared (it is my hosting machine).

What do I have to put for hostname (and after Zimbra checks DNS MX
records) when Zimbra asks me?

Do I have to put webmail.mydomain.com?

I do not understand this part of instalation?


Thanks
Nikola

What is the FQDN of the server you're installing Zimbra on? Are you sure you want a subdomain called 'webmail.mydomain.com', what's it for?

When I come to domainname I got this:
No DNS MX records point to this machine.

I make test.teamnet.co.yu and it points to 82.208.195.21 machine where I want to run zimbra.

Do I have to install DNS server on this machine or not?
I am doing this for the first time.

If you are running this machine behind a firewall then you probably need a split DNS set-up on your LAN, have a look at these instructions.

phoenix can I give you SSH acces with root username and password to try to install Zimbra?

I am not sure that I am doing things right.

It is fairly easy to set-up a DNS server, I'm a linux novice and I did it.

If the FQDN of your server is test.teamnet.co.yu and it's on a LAN IP of 192.168.1.10 then you'd need the following information in the zone file

;
;       Addresses and other host information.
;
teamnet.co.yu       IN      SOA     test.teamnet.co.yu. root.teamnet.co.yu. (
                               10118      ; Serial
                               43200      ; Refresh
                               3600       ; Retry
                               3600000    ; Expire
                               2592000 )  ; Minimum
;       Define the nameservers and the mail servers
@          IN      NS         test.teamnet.co.yu.
@          IN      MX        10 test.teamnet.co.yu.
@	   IN	   A	       192.168.1.10
test        IN      A   192.168.1.10
mail1     IN      CNAME  test
mail2     IN      CNAME  test

There also a thread here that should help.
