My host file should I leave it 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

or should I set it to 127.0.0.1 mymachinename.mydomain mymachiine name

I have edited a host file before.
thanks

What does your /etc/hosts look like now? Anything in /opt/zimbra/logs/zimbra.log?

[neocrypter]

When I edited it iput hosts to 127.0.0.1 mail.kckanar.com maiil

I just went to check the log and when I tried to cd /opt/zimbra/logs/ it said there was no such directory

[14319KevinH]

Your /etc/hosts file should have two lines. Can you post your entire file? Try /opt/zimbra/log

[neocrypter]

That is the entire file other than the commented out Documentation.

yeah it should look more like this (a.b.c.d is the ip address):
127.0.0.1 localhost

a.b.c.d host.domain.com host


hopefully the host name is also set up in the (local) dns so that this command displays a.b.c.d:
host `hostname`

[neocrypter]

Hmmm the a.b.c.d should be my ip its getting from dhcp right? and I didnt set anything up in local, this was from a 100% unmodified install of FC4 other then Yum updates and Yum installs that are listed in the other thread

[neocrypter]

ok so I did host `hostname` and I got this

Host localhost.localdomain not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

I'm not sure that DHCP puts the IP in the hosts file (but I'm sure I'll get corrected if it's wrong). You should be running your Zimbra server with a fixed IP address then modify the hosts file to reflect the change i.e.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

a.b.c.d host.domain.com host


with a.b.c.d set as the fixed IP address, that should solve your problem.

Ok again I think im up and running. But I cant seem to be able to accsess it via my internal network, even if i try doing http://127.0.0.1/ I get connection refused, and thats when im on the server boxen myself. any clues?
