Zimbra Collaboration Suite is one of the best mail solution in the open source category. Because you don't have to install individual MTA's, web mail like squirrel mail or roundcube etc ... ZCS is simply a suite which installs every thing you need for a complete mail solution.
Today we'll see how to install ZCS 8 on a CentOS 6.4. Before we get started make sure you have below things ready.
System Requirements :
Check below files and setup network settings
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
Now we have proper DNS and
Untar the ZCS package
Note : One thing i noticed during the installation was, zimbra showing mail id as user@zimbra.gil.com instead of user@gil.com , so what i do is temporarily remove the dns server ip, so that it wont resolve the server ip and asks us to enter domain name, then we can simply enter our domin name as gil.com. so that we can get rid of this kind of issues.
Now start the installation.
Untar the ZCS package
When you find DNS can't resolve error simply type your domain name.
Hit enter for default options
Hit 'Y' for install
Select ' 3 '
here you have to set zimbra admin password and hit enter, it takes few minutes to complete the installtion, simply relax and wait.
After installation set the DNS ip back to normal.
below are the urls.
Admin Console: https://<FQDN>:7071/zimbraAdmin
Web mail: https://<FQDN>/
That's it.
