Hi Friends,

[root@map007]# nslookup mail.linuxsurgeon.org

nslookup mail.linuxsurgeon.org
Server:         8.8.8.8
Address:        8.8.8.8#53

You have the option of notifying Zimbra of your installation. This helps us to track the uptake of the Zimbra Collaboration Suite.
The only information that will be transmitted is: The VERSION of zcs installed (6.0.6_GA_2330_Fedora11)
The ADMIN EMAIL ADDRESS created (admin@mail.linuxsurgeon.org)

Notify Zimbra of your installation? [Yes] Yes

Configuration complete – press return to exit —- press enter

=============================================================================

Now your ZCS Open Source installation has been completed..Now test your zimbra service login as Zimbra user :-

[root@map007]# su – zimbra

[Zimbra@map007]:~$ zmcontrol status

The output should look like this:
Host mail.linuxsurgeon.org

antispam                Running
antivirus               Running
ldap                    Running
logger                  Running
mailbox                 Running
mta                     Running
snmp                    Running
spell                   Running

If any service is not running then you can do start/stop your zimbra service :-

[zimbra@map007]:~$ zmcontrol stop/start

Zimbra comes with a web interface for the administrator (https://mail.linuxsurgeon.org:7071/zimbraAdmin) and normal users (http://mail.linuxsurgeon.org).

=======================================================================================

Uninstalling ZCS :-

[root@map007]# su – zimbra

[zimbra@map007]:~$ zmcontrol stop

[zimbra@map007]:~$ exit

[root@map007]# cd zcs-6.0.6_GA_2330.F11.20100505202915

[root@map007]# ./install.sh -u

[root@map007]# rm -rf /opt/zimbra

  10. piyushmap Said,

    Hi,

    First of all I’d suggest you update to the most recent CentOS 5.3 before installing Zimbra and which version of Zimbra you downloaded ? There should be no problem installing Zimbra on CentOS.

    And try with following command :-

    ./install.sh –platform-overide

  19. duncan Said,

    Hi,
    Thanks for your info.
    I followed your guide and gladly all is well.
    I was wondering is it possible to use the smartphone email client to access email via Imap. I am using the opensource version hence active sync is not an option.
    Thanks again.

    Duncan.
