Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) is a groupware product created by Zimbra, Inc. It is widely used in the world. Users can share folders, contacts, schedules and other things, using a very rich web interface. Currently the latest version of Collaboration Suite is Zimbra 8.6.0. It brings new features, improvements in Mail server and it provides a better web client experience. Click here to view the new improvements and fixes in Zimbra Collaboration Suite 8.6.0. In this tutorial, I will explain how to install Zimbra 8.6.0 on RHEL 7 or CentOS 7.
Prerequisites
- CentOS 7 server.
- root access to the server.
- A fully qualified domain name ( FQDN ) for your Zimbra mail server mx record and ensure your domain is configured correctly.
First you need to do some initial setup in the server
1. Configure /etc/hosts and hostname
2. Allow iptables to by-pass all zimbra ports.
3. 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
4. Stop any MTA services installed in the server
[root@centos7 ~]# systemctl stop postfix [root@centos7 ~]# systemctl disable postfix [root@centos7 ~]# systemctl stop sendmail [root@centos7 ~]# systemctl disable sendmail
5.Update the OS
[root@centos7 ~]# yum update -y
6.Install the required packages and libraries by issuing the following command :
[root@centos7 ~]# yum install perl perl-core ntpl nmap sudo libidn gmp libaio libstdc++ unzip sysstat sqlite -y
