Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) is a groupware product created by Zimbra, Inc. Zimbra Collaboration Open Source Edition version 8.0.8 is available for us to test, evaluate, deploy, customize and improve. I have prepared the steps to install and configure Zimbra Collaboration Suite 8.0.8 on CentOS 7.0. There are new features and enhancements available in the ZCS 8.0.8 Open Source release as below :
• Improved admin console usability when returned results are over the limit.
• GetEffectiveRightRequest in searchdirectory request loading improved.
• Fixed issued causing ZCS 8.0.7 Patch 1 breaking delegated admin functionality.
• Delegated admin ability to edit distribution list fixed.
• Delegated admin ability to edit account fixed.
• Delegated admin ability to edit resources fixed.
• Folders now accessible after a restore of users account.
• Ability to edit Zimbra Document in Briefcase.
• Share URL correct when selecting files in shared briefcase.
• Handling translation of IMAP metacharacters into regexes no longer causes high server load when IMAP LIST commands are issued.
• Updated EULA.
• MySQL version upgrade is performed prior to checking if upgrade is possible.
• Fixed issue during replication and MMR mode configuration causing masters to go into endless loop.
• Fixed typo in ZsMsg_fr.properties results in the share access URL not being embedded in the email.
Mail – MTA/Spam/Virus:
• zmmtactl restart is an option post 8.0.7 upgrade.
• Fixed issue causing zmmboxmove to exhaust LDAP connection pool during migrations.
1. Prepare for Fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for your zimbra mail server and make sure your domain mx record in configured properly.
2. Configure /etc/hosts and hostname.
3. Allow iptables to listen zimbra ports.
4. Disabled SELINUX :
[root@centos7 ~]# vim /etc/sysconfig/selinux
Change enforcing to disabled :
# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system. # SELINUX= can take one of these three values: # enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced. # permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing. # disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded. SELINUX=disabled # SELINUXTYPE= can take one of these two values: # targeted - Targeted processes are protected, # minimum - Modification of targeted policy. Only selected processes are protected. # mls - Multi Level Security protection. SELINUXTYPE=targeted
5. Stop sendmail, postfix or any MTA service :
[root@centos7 ~]# systemctl stop postfix [root@centos7 ~]# systemctl disable postfix [root@centos7 ~]# systemctl stop sendmail [root@centos7 ~]# systemctl disable sendmail
6. Install the required packages and libraries using the following command :
[root@centos7 ~]# yum install perl perl-core ntpl nmap sudo libidn gmp libaio libstdc++ unzip sysstat sqlite -y
7. Log in as root to the Zimbra server and cd to the directory where the ZCS Open Source Edition 8.0.8 archive tar file is saved. To unpack the file, type the following commands:
[root@centos7 ~]# tar xzvf zcs-8.0.8_GA_6184.RHEL7_64.20140925165850.tgz
8. Go to extracted directory and start the installation, do replace example.local to your own domain :
[root@centos7 ~]# cd zcs-8.0.8_GA_6184.RHEL7_64.20140925165850 [root@centos7 zcs-8.0.8_GA_6184.RHEL7_64.20140925165850]# ./install.sh --platform-override Operations logged to /tmp/install.log.3552 Checking for existing installation... zimbra-ldap...NOT FOUND zimbra-logger...NOT FOUND zimbra-mta...NOT FOUND zimbra-snmp...NOT FOUND zimbra-store...NOT FOUND zimbra-apache...NOT FOUND zimbra-spell...NOT FOUND zimbra-convertd...NOT FOUND zimbra-memcached...NOT FOUND zimbra-proxy...NOT FOUND zimbra-archiving...NOT FOUND zimbra-cluster...NOT FOUND zimbra-core...NOT FOUND PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE SOFTWARE.
