Installing Zimbra Collaboration Suite 7 On CentOS 5.x (64Bit) This article explains how to install Zimbra Collaboration Suite 7 (ZCS) on CentOS 5.x (64Bit). Zimbra is a collaboration suite very widely used in the world. Users can share folders, contacts, schedules and other things, using a very rich web interface. One important note is that we're using CentOS 5 64bits, that is not oficially supported by Zimbra team (only RHEL and SUSE are). But CentOS works fine with Zimbra.

I haven't installed this version of Zimbra, but prior versions were extremely picky about the /etc/hosts file. It needed to have just 2 lines in that file, no more, or the install would fail.  The installer will tell you about the error.

On prior versions, if the DNS MX record wasn't setup to point to the server being installed, it didn't like that either. If your DNS + MX aren't configured, be prepared for errors during the install.

We will definitely be upgrading our version since Zimbra is the best option out there for our requirements, just be aware of a few, easily overcome, bumps during the installation.
