I am lost

martinezjr · Postby **martinezjr** » Fri Apr 24, 2009 12:26 pm

I DOWNLOADED ZCS-5.0.14_GA_2850.F7.20090303145157.TGZ AND FOLLOWED THE QUICKINSTALL.PDF DIRECTIONS. BUT I KEEP COMMING UP WITH THE SAME ERROR WITH THE MX AND DNS NOT RESOLVING THE "DOMAIN".
SO AFTER SEARCHING THIS FORUM ALL MORNING AND DOING THE THINGS REQUESTED IN THOSE ITEMS, I STILL HAVE COME UP WITH THE SAME ERROR.
ATTACHED ARE MY LOGS, NETDIAGRAM, AND SEVERAL OTHER ITEMS THAT I SEE REQUESTED WITH THIS ERROR. WHAT ELSE SHOULD I DO?

COMPUTER FOR ZIMBRA:

DELL GX240

1.2 GB RAM

20 GB HDD

FEDORA 7 (FEDORA 9 KEPT GIVING ME ERROR WITH PERL)

One thing that I noticed is that: "dig hcjbc.dyndns.org mx" doesn't return an answer. You'll have to add an mx record for that subdomain.

Ok, even with all that I have done seting up small networks, I have not ever had to set up a dns server. So I am lost. I did install BIND9 on another machine (Fedora 9) and I have spent the today trying to find documentation on how to administrate it, but no luck. Can some one point me in the right direction to add the mx and a records?

The split DNS is for an install of BIND on the Zimbra server itself, if you want to add the records to an already installed on your LAN then search the forums for a thread titled 'DNS in a Nutshell'.
BTW, your hosts file is incorrect and it should only have the following entries:



# Do not remove the following line, or various programs

# that require network functionality will fail.

127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost

10.100.177.180  BCIntranet.hcjbc.dyndns.org     BCIntranet

Obviously you'll need to have the IP and FQDN (plus your internal domain name) of your Zimbra server in the last line.

martinezjr · Postby **martinezjr** » Tue Apr 28, 2009 10:18 pm

I will read up on the Split-DNS again and try to figure it out and look up webadmin.
I have the extra record in the host file because this machine was a webserver hosting an intranet site connected to a mysql server.
thanks

I got zimbra install but I have a whole lot of errors in the install pertaining to javax and ldap. I was able to get the DNS installed and running. What do I need to do next?

The problem is caused by the fact you have no MX record for your domain name, your domain name is actually this: hcjbc.dyndns.org What you are using above (BCmysql.hcjbc.dyndns.org ) is the Fully Qualified Domain Name of your server (FQDN) and is not correct. You should modify your DNS server to reflect that and use the correct domain name.
BTW, I'd recommend you change all your DNS records (and your hosts file) to have all the domain name and server FQDN in lower case, you may hit problems later on if you leave it as mixed upper/lower case.
In addion, you should only have one entry in your DNS server on the Zimbra server and it shoould be like this:

; generated by /sbin/dhclient-script

search hcjbc.dyndns.org
nameserver 10.100.177.180
