Error Installing Zimbra

Hi, I am trying my first install of Zimbra. I running on a OpenVZ install and the guess is Ubuntu6. This openvz machine has 100G assigned to it. During the install of Zimbra after selecting the Zimbra Servers to install I get this error:

Code:

Checking required space for zimbra-core

checking space for zimbra-store

/opt/zimbra requires at least 5GB of space to install.

0GB is not enough space to install.



Installation cancelled.

I know I have enough disk space. I think the problem is that Zimbra is trying to install on the /opt partition... However, this partition I think is part of my /root partition which is only 1G. So, I think there's not enough disk space there. Is there a way for me to get Zimbra to install via my /var partition which contains much of my disk space? Would appreciate any comments/suggestions.

Below is the output of df -h

Code:

root@mx1:/usr/src/zcs# df -h

All your partitions are too small. If there's free space on your hard drive, you can try GParted to resize the partitions.

Hi Falko, I've resolve the space issue reported before. This was an OpenVZ resource issue. However, I proceed with the install and all seems to go well until I get this error below:

Per above error, I was suprise to see my hostname showing as:
HOSTNAME=dsl027-139-174.dc1.dsl.speakeasy.net

I am not sure why that is since I've set my hostname properly in /etc/hostname as: mx1.domain.com... Also, I've set my /etc/hosts exactly how the how-to suggest to add this line to /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

Regarding the service failures above, I am not sure why I am
getting them. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance for any comments/suggestions!

I guess that's the PTR record for your server's IP address. You can check with

Code:

dig -x your.ip.add.ress

Falko, yes it is the pointer to my IP address BUT it should not show that info from zimbra. I expect for zimbra to pick up my hostname as mx1.domain.com as I have defined in /etc/hosts. When I run command:
hostname
hostname -f
They both output my host name as mx1.domain.com...

But, as shown in my previuos post zimbra is showing the PTR record?
This is what I hope to fix.

Joe

Does mx1.domain.com point to your.ip.add.ress? If it doesn't exist in DNS, create it now.

Hi, I got my dns issues resolved and have been able to install Zimbra. The problem I'm having now is that I can't seem to send or receive emails. I sent email from my gmail account to my user account created in zimbra mail server. Also, I am able to login to my zimbra email account via the client browser. When I create an email going to my gmail account no email gets received either.

I've checked the Zimbra Admin mail queue and I do see the emails being deferred. So, I imagine the emails are making it to the server ruling out fw or connectivity issues - I think. Any thoughts?

Joe

Please make sure that your server isn't blacklisted: http://www.mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx

and that the MX record for your email domain is pointing to your server.
