Thanks for the details in your post. I suspect that the most likely problem is that your hostname, server1, isn't really fully qualified, and it's likely causing some problems with the mailstore...

There should be a way to have the API show the http(s) transaction, but you'll have to research the API docs to find it.

mailbox.log.

Since you're getting a 405 response, which is unusual, it would probably help to post the full HTTP headers from your client as well, since the soap looks right (though the password...

Again, look at the logs on the server to see why it's throwing that 405 response (method not allowed). Is your script performing a GET? That wsdl fetch line is not really necessary.

You should look in the server logs for the errors, but I think your auth request is invalid; you need a "by" attribute, and if you're doing an admin auth by name, you need the fully qualified email...

Nope, that's not supported.

For the reasons that I stated in the second half of my previous reply.

If you break the seal and install additional software, you're on your own; you may or may not break things now or in the future.

Snapshot backups are faster and easier, which is why we're recommending them for the appliance admins.

Queue management is a future feature for the appliance; you could flush this queue from the command line, or just wait for postfix to do it for you - but from the error returned (sender domain must...

I assume that the "setting network settings" never appears to complete because the IP of the box changed, and you'll need to reload the web UI from the new IP address.

Thanks; that post looks like something one our vmware colleagues put together without reference to the actual product we released. I'll get that post updated as soon as possible.

You should be able to access the log even with the zimbra services down.

Sounds like the same issue as this thread:

If a re-install does not clear the issue, attach the...

Can you be more specific? It sounds like you're interested in installing the appliance, and then customizing the platform; that's not really the best use of an appliance. If you are looking for...

That's the appliance admin console; it's a simplified version.

What all would you like to see in the console that you don't now? (Aside from what you've listed above)

Sales has been notified, and indicated that they have responded to your request. If that's not the case, please let us know.

The appliance has a simplified administrative view; the full view is not available. The features available should be listed in the documentation.

WRT the issue of the blank page; are you seeing...

Set "show fragments" to false in your preferences. (The attribute is zimbraPrefShowFragments on the command line)

Run zmcontrol status and find out what's not starting, then check the logs and see if you can find out why.

Sure, same licensing format.
