Zimbra
These notes were made for version 7.1.4 for Ubuntu 10.04 64bit
Target system: Ubuntu Server minimum installation in VirtualBox, 1.5Gb memory, 15Gb harddrive. See Open SSH for tips on installing software in this configuration.
Guide for 7.0.0/10.04:
Download zimbra open source edition for your system:
Zimbra wiki:
Pre install additional packages:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential libperl5.10 sysstat sqlite3 bind9
Configure hosts, hostname and DNS server, see 'DNS server'
Note:
- the hostname needs a suffix (like '.loc' in 'zimbra7.loc') or it will not be accepted by the install script:
- in /etc/hosts the shortname is not optional, example:
#ip name shortname 192.168.1.10 zimbra7.loc zimbra7
Start the installation from the base-directory:
sudo ./install.sh
Todo: you need to configure a DNS MX record as stated in this error during installation, I chose 'No' to continue:
DNS ERROR resolving MX for zimbra7.loc It is suggested that the domain name have an MX record configured in DNS Change domain name? [Yes] Create domain: [zimbra7.loc]
An admin account is created automatically, you need to configure a password to continue the installation. Use the admin account for general login and for login to the admin console.
Login: admin@mail.zimbra7.loc / qkyhQE3tb
You can configure a password for the ubuntu 'zimbra' account:
sudo passwd zimbra
As the zimbra user you can view the status of the zimbra components:
su - zimbra zmcontrol status
