How to install Zimbra 8.0.0 mail server on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS



Install Zimbra Open Source on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS


Preparing before install Zimbra

# sudo apt-get update
# sudo apt-get install openssh-server  libgmp3c2  sysstat  sqlite3

  If you face Time related issues with server then use below command.
# sudo apt-get install language-pack-en 

And check by below command

# locale -a  
 # hostname   (check your hostname and set which you want to put your zimbra mail server name. 
 Eg: mail.bil.com 
# hostname mail.bil.com   (it's for temporary set hostname)
# vim  /etc/hostname       (it's for permanent set host-name)
mail.bil.com
:wq|  save it)
Now Download The latest version for now is Zimbra Collaboration Suite Open Source Edition 8.0.0 GA


# ls
# tar -xvf zcs-8.0.0_GA_5434.UBUNTU12_64.20120907144631.tgz
# ls
# cd zcs-8.0.0_GA_5434.UBUNTU12_64.20120907144631/
# cd

Install BIND9 for Network Address Transtlator (NAT 1-1)

In many case, your server didn't got public IP directly. But you got public IP by NAT by network device. In this condition you have to use Split DNS as Zimbra suggest (More Info)

# sudo apt-get install bind9

Now we will edit /etc/bind/named.conf.options by the line forwarders change to our DNS IP then append zone that the bottom of line

# sudo vim /etc/bind/named.conf.options
 

then create /var/cache/bind/db.mail.bil.com don't forget to change filename to match with zone file

# vim /var/cache/bind/db.mail.bil.com

  Then edit /etc/resolv.conf and change nameserver to 192.168.100.20
 
Now restart bind9 services
sudo /etc/init.d/bind9 restart
Test by dig command and it should return like below
#dig mail.bil.com   mx
; <<>> DiG 9.7.0-P1 <<>> mail.bil.com mx
