Download Zimbra Installation
\nLatest Version 8.6.0 GA Release
\nhttp:\/\/www.zimbra.com\/downloads\/zimbra-collaboration-open-source<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Move Zimbra Download File To New VM
\nI downloaded the package to my local Windows workstation. From a Windows machine, an additional tool is required.\u00a0 There are a few options but I downloaded and used WinSCP v 5.5.2. It works.<\/p>\n
Copy downloaded Zimbra .tgz file (in this case zcs-8.6.0_GA_1153.RHEL7_64.20141215151110.tgz) from local workstation to \/tmp\/ directory on new VM. Simple click, drag and drop copies the file.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Decompress and Install Zimbra
\nFrom the CL, decompress the file by running the following command:
\ntar xzf zcs-8.6.0_GA_1153.RHEL7_64.20141215151110.tgz<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Navigate to the newly created\/renamed directory:
\ncd zcs-8.6.0_GA_1153.RHEL7_64.20141215151110<\/p>\n
su root
\n.\/install.sh<\/p>\n
To uninstall (which you will need to do if you run into issues with the installation)
\n.\/install.sh -u<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Change admin password to a more complex password \u00a0(this is the admin console login)
\n\u201cr\u201d to return to previous screen
\n\u201ca\u201d to apply the changes
\nYes to save config to file
\nEnter to save to default config file
\nYes to modify system<\/p>\n
Save config in file: [\/opt\/zimbra\/config.23168]
\nMoving \/tmp\/zmsetup01072015-114839.log to \/opt\/zimbra\/log<\/p>\n
When complete, change user to zimbra
\nsu \u2013 zimbra<\/p>\n
Check status of Zimbra
\nzmcontrol status<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Verify Mail Server is Operational
\nOpen a browser and navigate to https:\/\/mail.yourdomain.com\u00a0(webmail console)<\/p>\n
Login using admin and password<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Open a browser and navigate to https:\/\/mail.yourdomain.com:7071 (admin console)
\nLogin using admin and password<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Once logged into your admin panel, continue configuration
\nConfigure->Global Settings->MTA<\/p>\n
Add hostname of your server (in this case, mail)<\/p>\n
Added New Domain yourdomain.com<\/p>\n
Setup admin@yourdomain.com with Global Admin rights<\/p>\n
Deleted domain created at setup mail.yourdomain.com<\/p>\n
Create user accounts<\/p>\n
Create distribution lists<\/p>\n
Create aliases<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Production<\/p>\n
To put this server into production, you will need to:
\n1. Contact your ISP and request a PTR record or reverse DNS.
\n2. Acquire a certificate from a trusted source.
\n3. Setup an MX record with your domain registrar<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

Changing the Page Title<\/p>\n
As zimbra user (su \u2013 zimbra):
\nvi \/opt\/zimbra\/jetty\/webapps\/zimbra\/WEB-INF\/classes\/messages\/ZmMsg.properties
\n[change value for zimbraTitle = <new value>]
\nvi \/opt\/zimbra\/jetty\/webapps\/zimbra\/WEB-INF\/classes\/messages\/ZhMsg.properties
\n[change value for zimbraTitle = <new value>]<\/p>\n
The first is for the advanced client and the second is for the basic client.
\nYou will need to restart jetty and clear your browser cache\/restart browser to see change take effect<\/p>\n
