Several problems installing zimbra on vps

[Kilomoana]

Hi there,

so I tried to install Zimbra on a VPS for a few days. For now I didn't get closer to solve it.

Also I tried to use several OS as Ubuntu, Debian, Cent.

Sometimes only the mailbox did not start and mostly I get the failure:

Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap
Could not create the Java virtual machine.

Even if I try to use zmlocalconfig.

Before I used a Server with 1 GB RAM, now the Server has 2 GB of RAM but nothing changed.

I hope someone could help me.

Greetings Alex

That is not a supported platform for Zimbra, you may or may not get it working. It's recommended you install ZCS on a dedicated server.

Before I used a Server with 1 GB RAM, now the Server has 2 GB of RAM but nothing changed.

That's hardly surprising, you need at least 2GB of dedicated RAM for Zimbra. Search the forums and wiki for details of how you may get it working in a VPS.

BTW I don't know why you posted the title with an angry smiley in it, this is isn't the fault of Zimbra.

Why should an angy smiley means that I am angry about Zimbra. If I would be angry, I would not try to install it.

So, I don't have a dedicated server, only the virtual one and already read in the forum that it could be possible. I tried a lot of things out of the forum and now I am on a point where I think, that it is better to explain my own problem and ask, if there is anybody who could help.

In the requirements is written that 1 GB is enough for testing.

Ok for now I am at the point, that only the mailbox is not runnig. Here is the log:

vi zmmailboxd.out
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap
Could not create the Java virtual machine.
