fresh install (both OS and Zimbra) but zimbra-spell fails

This is a brand new RH ES3 install with Zimbra being the first package installed. I run through the ./install.sh script and after my libidn prerequisite is filled I get the zimbra-spell install failed. Suggestions? Is there an install log file I can look at to see why it failed?

Can you post the contents of /tmp/install.log.<pid>?


The only thing spell explicitly requires is zimbra-apache, which seems to have installed correctly.

The pre and post install scripts for the package don't do anything too strange (indeed, they don't do anything the others don't)

Which version are you installing? Is it the RHEL4 version? (Are you installing on RHEL4?)

You bring up a very obvious issue. I am installing on RH ES 3. We just ordered this copy so I just went with the assumption it was 4 and didn't bother to look. What install package will work with ES3? How do I revert/uninstall what installed with the ES4 package?

./install.sh -u

cleanly UNINSTALL anything Zimbra installed..as its all in /opt folder so no problems

get FC3 or Correct RED HAT version and try install..it should work fine

I ran ./install.sh -u from the original RH4 dir, removed the zcs folder, untar'd the new FC3 dir, ran ./install from the new zcs dir and I got the same thing...

I already had:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

in my hosts file but I had to add:
192.168.0.13 testrh.domain.com testrh

and then my spell error went away.

?

Cool glad you got it working.

I got the same error on Debian.

it has gone by the adding the IP and the name of the server in the hosts file.

thx, i found it a useful thread.

I am having the same problem, however I have added the line to my hosts file and it has not helped.

Any ideas?

It did not help me either.
