This post seems to indcate you can change the install script to make it work:

vserver installation

This is what /etc/debian_version tells me
vserver1:~/zcs/bin# cat /etc/debian_version
4.0

so in zcs/bin/get_plat_tag.sh I modified the line with the grep

original:
if [ -f /etc/debian_version ]; then
grep "3.1" /etc/debian_version > /dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? = 0 ]; then
echo "DEBIAN3.1"
exit 0
fi
fi

modified the grep line to
grep "4.0" /etc/debian_version > /dev/null 2>&1

and it works. Thanks to quick help.

best regards
Dani

I'm going to try it out tonight and will let you know how it goes.

one step further...

The the install now check the prerequisites correctly, however I have a problem with libgmp3. When I

apt-get install libgmp3

I recevie this:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Package libgmp3 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  libgmpxx4 libgmp3c2 libgmp3-doc
E: Package libgmp3 has no installation candidate

I've installed libgmpxx4 and libgmp3c2 but still get the MISSING error.

This has been posted elsewhere but now answer:

Any suggestions??

You can get the package from http://packages.debian.org/stable/libs/libgmp3
Pick your architecture and you can download the deb that is included with sarge.
Make sure you uninstall all the libgmp packages you got from the etch repositories, then install this one with dpkg. Just tried it, and it worked on my machine.

hi All
I'm trying to install zcs-4.5.3_GA_733.DEBIAN3.1 on debian etch

I do a clean basic install

next fix Ip address
next nano /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.16.36.40 zcsserver.mydomain.home zcsserver

nano /etc/resolv.conf

search localdomain
nameserver 192.168.111.222

(all ipv6 is commented out)

apt-get install openssl libstdc++6 libxml2-dev sudo curl fetchmail libgmp3c2

copy zcs-4.5.3_GA_733.DEBIAN3.1.tar to my home directory

tar xvfz zcs-4.5.3_GA_733.DEBIAN3.1.tar

cd zcs/bin

nano get_plat_tag.sh

change

if [ -f /etc/debian_version ]; then
grep "3.1" /etc/debian_version > /dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? = 0 ]; then
echo "DEBIAN3.1"
exit 0

to

if [ -f /etc/debian_version ]; then
grep "4.0" /etc/debian_version > /dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? = 0 ]; then
echo "DEBIAN3.1"
exit 0

nano util/utilfunc.sh

Search for Debian3.1

Change line

PREREQ_PACKAGES="sudo libidn11 curl fetchmail libgmp3 libxml2 libstdc++6 openssl"

To

PREREQ_PACKAGES="sudo libidn11 curl fetchmail libgmp3c2 libxml2 libstdc++6 openssl"

next I run the install.sh

Yes to all installs, yes to system modification

Then I Get
Setting defaults...No results returned for A lookup of zcsserver.mydomain.home
Checked nameservers:
192.168.111.222


DNS ERROR resolving zcsserver.mydomain.home
It is suggested that the hostname be resolveable via DNS
Change hostname [Yes]


Can anyone describe the steps required to setup the DNS

Thanks Owenus

Before you start, *setup your DNS*. Zimbra install is very sensitive to correct DNS setup, particularly /etc/hosts and forward resolution of the hostname you are installing on as returned from hostname. Search wiki/forum for correct DNS setup.

change /etc/debian_version to 3.1
apt-get install sudo curl fetchmail libgmp3c2 libssl0.9.7 libdb3
chmod a+rwx /tmp

tar -xzf
cd zcs/

clean out previous attempts:
sh install -u
rm -rf /opt/zimbra
rm /tmp/install*
rm /tmp/zmsetup*
rm /tmp/*zim*

change util/utilfunc.sh
if [ $PLATFORM = "UBUNTU6"]; then
to
if [ $PLATFORM = "UBUNTU6" -o $PLATFORM = "DEBIAN3.1" ]; then

sh install.sh

Strangely detects hostname as domainname (never quite understood why it does this). Select 'Yes' for "Change domain name", change to domainname "domain.com" instead of "host.domain.com"

If you haven't set your MX yet, ignore (you'll need to set this later but its fine for install):
DNS ERROR - none of the MX records for ijichi.org
resolve to this host
It is suggested that the MX record resolve to this host
Re-Enter domain name? [Yes]
^^ Choose "No"

Install Menu: Choose 6 for zimbra-store, 4 for Admin Password, enter password, 'r' or for previous menu, 'a' to apply, Enter for next two questions:
Save configuration data to a file? [Yes]
Save config in file: [/opt/zimbra/config.15938]
Then 'Yes' for: The system will be modified - continue? [No] yes

Checkout output carefully for *any* errors, should install fine.

You can change /etc/debian_version back to 4.0 after install but you'll have to change it for each upgrade
