Unable to access web client

[scervera]

I have successfully installed Zimbra. I am able to manage my user accounts at this URL:

https://server.example.com:7071/zimbraAdmin/

I have my mail server setup on a internet access where my ISP blocks port 80. I changed the http port in the Zimbra configuration to port 8000. Port 7070 is not blocked.Port 443 is blocked too.

I am unable to connect to the web client at any of these ports:

https://server.example.com:7070/zimbra
https://server.example.com:7070/

http://server.example.com:7070/zimbra
http://server.example.com:7070/

https://server.example.com/zimbra
https://server.example.com/

http://server.example.com/zimbra
http://server.example.com/

http://server.example.com:8000/zimbra
http://server.example.com:8000/

https://server.example.com:8000/zimbra
https://server.example.com:8000/

I think that my issue is that I did not modify the port that SSL is going over. I would like to move this to port 8001. This is just a test server, so I am not worried about security so much as I just want to get up and running for evaluation purposes.

So my questions are:
1) Am I using the correct URLs to access the Web Client?
2) How can I manually change the port that Zimbra is communicating over SSL (from 443 to 8001)? How would this affect the URL that I use?

Thanks! I am a newbie.

How did you change the port to 8000 ?

The correct command is, while logged in as zimbra user :

zmprov ms SERVERNAME zimbraMailPort 8000

Then you have to restart Zimbra, still being logged in as zimbra user :

tomcat stop
tomcat start

If you want to change the SSL port to 8001, you have to do this, still logged in as zimbra user :

zmprov ms SERVERNAME zimbraMaiSSLPort 8001
tomcat stop
tomcat start

Or course SERVERNAME should be replace by the FQDN of your server 8)

Thanks. I don't recall setting a password for the zimbra user. What is the default password?

[jholder]

Are you talking about the bash/user password? If so, we don't set a password.

If you're talking about the mysql/ldap zimbra user passwords, then you shouldn't really need them as they are already stored in the config.

If for some reason that your config password is wrong, please go to the wiki and look up the article on how to reset the passwords.

I'm trying to get my zimbra to listen to port 8080 for http and 443 for https. Port 443 is working fine, but Tomcat never listens for 8080.

I looked at the server.xml and 8080 is known, but it's commented out!

 <!-- user services connector, no SSL -->
        <!-- HTTPBEGIN
    <Connector port="8080"
        acceptCount="1024" URIEncoding="UTF-8"
        enableLookups="false" redirectPort="443"
        maxThreads="100" minSpareThreads="100" maxSpareThreads="100"/>
HTTPEND -->

My zimbraMailPort is set to 8080


bin]$ ./zmprov gcf zimbraMailPort
zimbraMailPort: 8080


I think my zimbraMailMode is https, is that the problem? Does that disable http entirely? Will iCal synchronization work over https?

Thanks.

Server.xml get's rewritten each time. I wouldn't change that. . .

try
zmprov -e zimbramailport xxx

I didn't. I just looked at the file.

try
zmprov -e zimbramailport xxx

My zmprov doesn't seem to have a -e argument. I just get the help screen.
I'm on Zimbra 4.5

Sorry, wrong command. You're right:
zmprov ms myserver.domain.com zimbraMailPort (port#)

jh

[zimbra@zimtest bin]$ ./zmprov ms zimtest.terracotta.lan zimbraMailPort 8080
[zimbra@zimtest bin]$ ./tomcat stop
[zimbra@zimtest bin]$ ./tomcat start
[zimbra@zimtest bin]$ telnet zimtest.terracotta.lan 8080
Trying 10.0.100.119...
telnet: connect to address 10.0.100.119: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

Does this have anything to do with zimbraMailMode?

[dmangot]

I set zimbraMailMode to "both" and port 8080 now answers.
