Perhaps you should have searched the wiki and the forums, that's been mentioned once or twice.

It's been observed that on CentOS the default configuration may not allow zimbra to start.
You may see many /bin/unicode_start processes running that take up memory and CPU
Edit the file /etc/sysconfig/i18n from something like this:

LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
SUPPORTED="en_US.UTF-8:en_US:en"
SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"
To something like this (no references to UTF-8):

LANG="en_US"
SUPPORTED="en_US:en"
SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"
Or, a solution that seems to work for most:

Edit /etc/sysconfig/i18n
Remove or comment out all lines that contain UTF-8

Wasn't that where I just pointed him?

Once again, you waist time and typing...

It would be more useful if you invested you time/typing answering the questions (you know, like a really short answer then say "for more details... lookit up on the wiki or the forums") instead of deflecting them to "search the forums / read the wiki"...

Of course thats just my opinion...





Getting back to the question on hand, I ask because I have not done that, and my server is running just fine (as far as I can see...) no process is using more than 3% of resources.

But i'll look into it to see if this would improve the performance.

One that you're welcome to express, just as I'm able to express mine. Just a couple of little question though, did you actually bother to look at the link I posted? Did it answer your question?

The problem is that you asked a different question, you asked what it was for not if you should do it. That would have evoked a different response not the one that was given - you could have answered your original question yourself if you had bothered to look.

Yes it had the exact information that I need, this time you did give me a link (or a pointer, other than "search the forums" that helped me)

Well if its listed as a "step" on a how-to, it should be "a given" that you NEED to do it, thats what how-to's are for...right?
So, I would need to know what its for so I can look for the difference on my setup, if any... and THEN decide if I need to do it or not.

I apologize if I seem mean/out-of-line but the first 2 questions I asked here (on the forums) your answer was "search the forums"... then as I was searching the forums I found a post that seemed to have what I was looking for, but the answer given by you was "search the forums...it has been answered before" or something to the same meaning... SO I got a little discouraged (and pissed-off)

So, anyways, I have not done any changes like the one mentioned on step 14... and its working just fine...

All the steps in the guide are there because those are the steps i proformed
to get a working installation,
After reading through forums and wiki and only finding bits a pieces that helped i thought it would be better to make some kind of guide with all the step to cover any issues and give people just one place to find all the information they need.

To get a working Centos5 Zimbra Installation.

And it did. Thanks demminal

Just for posterity Without getting into it step by step I did basically the same things save step 14 (didn't change anything and haven't run into any issues).

To address the:

error while loading shared libraries: libdb-4.2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

# for i in `locate libdb-4.2 | grep .so`; 
> do yum whatprovides $i | grep installed
> done
compat-db.i386                           4.2.52-5.1             installed
