Install Zimbra Collaboration Suite 7 on Centos 5.5 – Part 2

In the Part 1 of this tutorial, we have setup everything required by Zimbra Collaboration Suite 7.0.0 GA Release.

In the second part, we will install the ZCS 7.0.0. GA into the Centos 5.5


Download the ZCS 7 directly from its website

wget http://files2.zimbra.com/downloads/7.0.0_GA/zcs-7.0.0_GA_3077.RHEL5.20110127201734.tgz

Once it is downloaded completely, extract the file and start installing.

tar zxf zcs-7.0.0_GA_3077.RHEL5.20110127201734.tgz
cd zcs-7.0.0_GA_3077.RHEL5.20110127201734
./install.sh --platform-override

If we install Zimbra Collaboration Suite on Centos, we have to add ‘–platform-override’ when run the ‘install.sh’ script. Otherwise the installation will stop because the system is not detected as Redhat OS.

The following are the log when installing the ZCS.

VIOLA. The Zimbra 7 has been successfully installed. As you see in the server status above, make sure that all services in the Service column are green (no red sign). If so the ZCS 7.0.0 are ready to use.

In the Part 3, I will show you how to add email account, domains and send emails to each other. Also troubleshot if any.
