Dude, Please reread the way that I have your hosts file. You need to fix the localhost entry.

Try to start Zimbra, and run a zmcontrol status. Then take a look to see if it connects. That's located in the /opt/zimbra/log/mailbox.log

That worked...I dont know what zmmyinit couldnt connecte to the mysql database but zmcontrol start started right up! thanks a bunch!

It tries to connect several times because it can take a while (depending on the system) for mysql.server to start up.

Enjoy.
