Installation guide: VMware Zimbra (Open Source Edition) on CentOS 6 (720p)



http://www.rosendaal.net/blog/tutorial-installing-vmware-zimbra-8-0-on-centos-6/

In this video I will show you how to install Zimbra, the open source e-mail solution of VMware.

Step by step guide:

1. Install CentOS 6.2 minimal
2. Stop Postfix by running 'service postfix stop' and disable it at boot time 'chkconfig postfix off'
3. Install a few required packages 'yum install nc perl sysstat libstdc++.i686 wget nano'
4. Use any text editor to comment 'Defaults requiretty' out in sudoers. You can find the file in /etc/sudoers or by typing visudo.
5. Download the lastest version at zimbra.com
6. Extract using 'tar xvf zcs.x.x.x'
7. Install by using './install.sh --platform-override'.
8. Follow the steps in the setup guide.

Don´t forget to edit the firewall rules!!

  5. I think you have misunderstood the purpose of this tutorial. This tutorial is about installing Zimbra on CentOS because CentOS is not an officially supported OS by Zimbra.

  6. can make you tutz upgrade from 6 to 7 x32?

  7. Sure, that shouldn't be a problem. Please remember though that 32-bit operating systems are no longer supported by Zimbra (thus no more updates).

  10. Hi, the 192.168.0.99 ip is your local ip? i really don't know that ip because i have a cloud server, do I need to use the public ip that i use to connect from ssh?

    ReplyDelete
  11. Correct, that my local IP. If it's not behind a local network you should indeed use the public IP address.

  12. When we configure zimbra in public, we usually configure BIND also. I think for a proper working, we will need to configure a local DNS also.

  13. Hello ! Very clear video ! But I need a little help here. After doing everything in the video, I cannot manage to open my 192.168.0.16 (local IP of my Vmware machine). It's like my browser doesn't know it... (whereas a ping to 192.168.0.16 responds correctly). Do you have any idea where the pb can come from please ?

  14. Hi Raftaman92,

    - Did you confirm that Zimbra is running? (service zimbra status, if i'm not mistaken)
    - Did you configure iptables? Iptables might be blocking some necessary ports.

    Best regards,
    Kevin

  15. Hi Kevin ! Thanks for your answer !
    - Yes my zimbra service is running.
    - I didn't configure iptables. What should I do and where ? On CentOS or on my Mac (where I want to use Zimbra)?

    Thanks in advance !

    SELINUX=disabled
    2:- /etc/init.d/iptables stop
    chkconfig iptables off
