Installation of Zimbra 8.0.2- Open Source Edition on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Guide

Hello,

Hope this will help someone. This is what I have done to install ZCS 8.0.2 (Open Source Edition) on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS The Diary of a Networker: Installation and Configuration of Zimbra 8.0.2 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

I hope you don't mind a couple of points about your blog entry and the installation of ZCS - this stands for Zimbra Collaboration Server (not suite).

The statements you make about the DNS are not correct, you have stated (in several places) that the FQDN of your server is "myemail.com" when that should be "domain name" and the FQDN is the hostname plus the domain name.

You also have this in your hosts file:

Code:

---

server IP_____________FQDN__________hostname

127.0.0.1          myemail.com        myemail

---

That should be the LAN IP address of your server not the loopback address and the format of that line should read as follows:

Code:

---

192.168.1.100 myemail.myemail.com myemail

---

The format of your DNS records is incorrect, they should be as follows:

Code:

---

myemail.com.        3600    IN      MX      10 myemail.myemail.com.

myemail.myemail.com.          3600    IN      A      192.168.1.100

---

The configuration of DNS records, hosts & resolv.conf files is well documented in many forum threads and in the Split DNS wiki article.

Hello Bill,

Thank you so much for pointing out the mistakes. I will correct it and update my blog accordingly.
