How To Install Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) On Ubuntu - Page 2
2 Change The Default Shell (Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft Only)
If you are on Ubuntu Edgy Eft, most probably /bin/sh is a symlink to /bin/dash, however we need /bin/bash, not /bin/dash. Therefore we do this:
rm -f /bin/sh
ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh
If you don't do this, you will most likely get an error like this during the Zimbra installation:
Creating SSL certificate...Done
Initializing ldap...TLS: error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or directory bss_file.c:352
TLS: error:20074002:BIO routines:FILE_CTRL:system lib bss_file.c:354
TLS: error:140B0002:SSL routines:SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file:system lib ssl_rsa.c:648
main: TLS init def ctx failed: -1
ERROR - failed to start slapd
FAILED (1)
On Ubuntu Dapper Drake, /bin/sh points to /bin/bash by default, so everything is ok.
3 Install Zimbra
First let's install some prerequisites for Zimbra:
apt-get install curl fetchmail libpcre3 libgmp3c2 libexpat1 libxml2 libtie-ixhash-perl
Afterwards, go to http://www.zimbra.com/community/downloads.html and download the Ubuntu 6 (.tgz) package to /usr/src, for example like this:
cd /usr/src
wget http://kent.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/zimbra/zcs-4.5.3_GA_733.UBUNTU6.tgz
(Replace the download URL with the one you get from SourceForge.)
Afterwards, unpack the Zimbra .tgz file and start the installer:
tar xvfz zcs-4.5.3_GA_733.UBUNTU6.tgz
cd zcs/
./install.sh
The installer will ask a few questions. Answer them like this:

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 (4.5.3_GA_733_UBUNTU6)
The ADMIN EMAIL ADDRESS created ([email protected])
Notify Zimbra of your installation? [Yes] <-- [if you want to notify Zimbra of your installation, type y, otherwise n]
Configuration complete - press return to exit <-- <ENTER>
That's it already. To test if all Zimbra services are running, become the zimbra user:
su - zimbra
and run
zmcontrol status
The output should look like this:
zimbra@mail:~$ zmcontrol status
Host mail.example.com
antispam Running
antivirus Running
ldap Running
logger Running
mailbox Running
mta Running
snmp Running
spell Running
If not all services are started, run
zmcontrol start
Type
exit
to become root again.
