Zimbra on SLES 9 ?

[nick20]

I did zimbra install from the source package in the SLES 9 (SuSE Enterprise Server 9) according to the instruction on the site at http://www.zimbra.com/blog/archives/2005/08/index.html.
Initially">http://http://www.zimbra.com/blog/archives/2005/08/index.html.
Initially my computer has the very basic SLES9 system software installed, such as gcc, fetchmail, and other kernel software. I didn't install any of the LDAP, Apache2, PHP, MySQL, Java2, postfix, anti-virus, and anti-spam software in there at all 'cause I know the zimbra software package comes with that. However, I downloaded java 1.5.05 SDK and Apache ANT 1.6.5. Here are the steps that I went through:
1) installed java 1.5.05 SDK and created a symbolic link to /usr/lib/java that points to the SDK installation;

2) installed apache ant;

3) set path for java and ant;

4) In /etc/hosts, make sure that it has the following lines:

127.0.0.1 localhost

10.10.0.6 webmail.mydomain.com webmail

5) create a user myzimbra under the group users;

6) login as myzimbra, make a directory zcssrc under the home directory of myzimbra and download zcs-3.0.M1_21-src.tgz from http://www.zimbra.com

7) login as a root and run the following commands:

# mkdir /opt/zimbra

# chown myzimbra.users /opt/zimbra

8) login as myzimbra and do the following:

$ cd ~/zcssrc

$ tar zxvf zcs-3.0.M1_21-src.tgz

$ cd ZimbraBuild

$ make dev-install

9) login in as root:

- Add these directories to my /etc/ld.so.conf file:

/opt/zimbra/lib

/opt/zimbra/sleepycat/lib

/opt/zimbra/openldap/lib

/opt/zimbra/cyrus-sasl/lib

- Run ldconfig

- Add the following lines into /etc/sudoers file:

myzimbra ALL=NOPASSWD:/opt/zimbra/openldap/libexec/slapd

myzimbra ALL=NOPASSWD:/opt/zimbra/postfix/sbin/postfix

myzimbra ALL=NOPASSWD:/opt/zimbra/postfix/sbin/postalias

- initialize postfix:

# groupadd postdrop

# groupadd postfix

# useradd -d /opt/zimbra/postfix -g postfix postfix

# edit /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/main.cf file to include,

## Internet host and domain names

myhostname = webmail.mydomain.com

mydomain = mydomain.com

## Sending mail

myorigin = $mydomain

## Receiving mail

inet_interfaces = all
# /opt/zimbra/postfix/sbin/postfix set-permissions

# chmod 775 /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf

- create symbolic links to:

* ln -s "/usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7" libssl.so.4

* ln -s "/usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7" libcrypto.so.4

10) login in as myzimbra,

(a) to initialize mysql: $ /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmmyinit

(b) to initialize ldap:

$ cd /opt/zimbra

$ mkdir openldap-data

$ /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmldapinit

(c) to initialize postfix: $ /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmmtainit localhost
All went well up to this point ! ;o)

when I ran the next line,

(d) /opt/zimbra/bin/zmmtaconfig mta

it started to generate errors:
ERROR: account.NO_SUCH_SERVER (no such server: webmail.mydomain.com)

ERROR: account.NO_SUCH_SERVER (no such server: webmail.mydomain.com)

ERROR: account.NO_SUCH_SERVER (no such server: webmail.mydomain.com)
I have tried to login as root and change the myhostname and mydomain to localhost in the /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/main.cf file, and then run the commands again:

- $ /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmmtainit localhost

- $ /opt/zimbra/bin/zmmtaconfig mta
It still generates the same error ! ;o(
Any ideas ?

Seems LDAP is running on 389, I think it should be on 7389 and port mapped with iptables in this rev. BTW: the next release will be out very soon and should provide a way to build all the dependancies from source which may make your life easier.
