Multiple Domains setup

[Toky]

I looked through the forums and was not able to find an answer for this,

I would like to setup a multiple domain zimbra install, can this be done?
(1 install in 1 machine that can serve multiple domains)

I'm looking to install this on a CentOS 5 box.

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forums.

This question has been answered many times in the forums. Yes, you can have multiple domains on your server, just create it with one domain at set-up and add the rest later.

Thanks,

Now I have diff, question...

On the install process the Zimbra-spell is giving me errors, so i've opted to not install the speller...

The install process seems to go ok, but it hangs an exits when trying to start mysql (i already have mysql running) I've looked for a way to pass the root acccount info to the zimbra installer (so it may manipulate the mysql as needed) but I can't find where to do this...

        at com.zimbra.common.localconfig.LocalConfig.(LocalConfig.java:353)

Done
Upgrading from  to 4.5.4_GA_763
Stopping zimbra services
Verifying /opt/zimbra/conf/my.cnf
Starting mysql
mysql startup failed with exit code 1
UPGRADE FAILED - exiting

Any idea on what could be causing this?

I figured out what this was, the installer was attempting an "Upgrade" but the install had not completed the first time, so the zimbra Mysql was NOT setup properly... I fixed this by running

rpm -e `rpm -qa | grep zimbra` ; ./install.sh

This removes any packages that were install previously on my failed attempts...

The reasons for this problem are well documented in the forums, please search for details.

I don't really understand what you mean here, what are you trying to do?

Do you have correct DNS A & MX records and is your /etc/hosts file correct?

I'm trying to install zimbra.

Yes I have the A & MX records ready (that part of the install process goes before the point when mysql is tried to be restarted)

I guess a more precise question (although the answer would be more elaborated...) When the installer attempts to start mysql, what is it trying to do to it?

I'm running this from a shell as root so I don't understand why its saying "sorry, you must have a tty to run sudo"

Make sure that Zimbra has sudo rights.
Zimbra uses sudo to bind ldap.

Thanks for the reply Jholder, I found this post Zimbra and FC6 which explains a work around for the "Require tty to run sudo"

I'm going to post here the work around for future reference.

Since FC6 (hence RHEL5 and CentOS5 too) Redhat added a new option to the sudoers file:
Defaults requiretty
This new line is the reason we are getting the "require tty to sun sudo" error.

The work around is opening the sudoers file with visudo ( <- command) and searching for the string requiretty (on vi/vim "/requiretty" + enter) and comment out the line (on vi/vim "i" for insert mode then add a "#" to comment out the line. then hit ESC key to get out of insert mode and then press ":" + "wq" to save and exit from the file.

now it should all be good!

PS: when I see a post title "Zimbra and FC6" I (and i'm pretty sure other people) would have discarted it since i'm NOT looking for FC6 "issues".

Hopefully since this post now includes CentOS 5, RHEL 5 and FC6 when people do searches this might help them get to the answers quicker.

THis might be easier to follow:

Get this error:
Initializing ldap...sudo: sorry, you must have a tty to run sudo

then:

type visudo
comment out this line:
change from this:
Defaults requiretty
to this:
#Defaults requiretty



save the file and all done
