Hello guys, im relative new in world of RHEL but im happy to know it.
I have to say i entered to Centos by chance doing a little project for a friend.
Now, i have a little problem with this email server i want to test (zimbra). I did all the steps presented on installation documents but i still failing at giving a hostname, what i do is modify /etc/hosts and having a static IP on the virtual machine, but it keeps failing for the install.
Actually running a minimal centos 7 build 1151.
Thank you in advance.
PS: oh, i forgot, the alias in hosts file must be mail.xxxx.xxx
Hostname problem installing zimbra
Re: Hostname problem installing zimbra
The best way to get help would be to state what you did, what you expected, and what happened.
Saying, I followed instructions, but I get an error doesn't give much information. It's also possible that it's a zimbra, rather than CentOS issue, so you may have more luck asking there. (Or not, your description of the problem doesn't make that clear.)
Something like
Zimbra says put this in /etc/hosts, then do this.
When I do that I get this error that says...
On a virtual machine created using....(is it VirtualBox? KVM? VMware?) and so on.
Please don't take this wrong, everyone was once a beginner, but it is probably worth looking at http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html. The links in my signature might also be of use.

Re: Hostname problem installing zimbra
Hi scottro!
Thank you for replying.
I finished the install thanks to a tutorial, this is how i set the hostname:
That worked but now i have a little problem with start of zimbra service, reading the installation log i got this.
On that line says "ldap_master_url" related.
Thank you again.
EDIT: hello, now zimbra its working but i have zimbra and dns on the same Centos, for the second error I setup my dns properly, added exceptions for firewall included tcp port 7071 which zimbra uses.
Now my second question is, how can i make my dns server on windows and connect my zimbra server to it? Tried this but again with hostname error... what can i do?
Thank you!
