sumber : http://www.howtoforge.com/zimbra-collaboration-suite-open-source-edition-on-centos-p3

 

You will need to download ZCS from the Zimbra website.

cd /tmp

 wget http://files.zimbra.com/downloads/5.0.2_GA/zcs-5.0.2_GA_1975.RHEL5.20080130221917.tgz 

Next untar, change into the directory of the installer and run the installer.

tar xvzf zcs-5.0.2_GA_1975.RHEL5.20080130221917.tgz
cd zcs-5.0.2_GA_1975.RHEL5.20080130221917
./install.sh

The output should look something like:

You will see a warning like this:

You appear to be installing packages on a platform different
than the platform for which they were built

This platform is CentOS5
Packages found: zimbra-core-5.0.2_GA_1975.RHEL5-20080130221917.i386.rpm
This may or may not work

Install anyway? [N] Y

The system will be modified. Continue? [N] Y

The installation takes a little bit so if you are running low on coffee or need a potty break now is the time to take it. :)

Once the install is finished you are presented with the Main Menu. It looks like this:

Notice the asterisks next to the Admin Password. You need to set the Admin Password before you complete the install. To do this enter 3 at the prompt and hit enter. The menu changes to:

Now you choose 4. You will be prompted to change the password. After you change the password hit r which will take you back to the previous menu. Enter a at the prompt to save the configuration.

The installation will complete and you will be all set to access the administrative web interface.

6 ZCS Admin Web Interface

 

Just like Falko I'm just going to give a brief screenshot tour and leave it up to you to get more information from the Zimbra Admin Guide and the Zimbra Wiki.

6.1 Administration Login

You can access the admin web interface by going to https://you.domain.com:7071.

Note: The web interface is accessed via ssl. Make sure you put https otherwise you won't be able to access the site.

The web interface is fairly easy to navigate.

The best place to start is with domains. Right now you most likely have a domain like mail.geekdept.com. You are going to want people to send email to geekdept.com. So click on domains.

After you have added your domain you are probably going to want to add an email account. Click on accounts and add your first account.

There are a ton of features you can add. By default the Instant Messenger feature is turned off but I think it is a really cool feature. It works really well.

6.2 User Login

Now that you have an email account setup you can access the user interface. Point your browser to http://your.domain.com.

Log in with your full email address and the password that you set for it.

Send some test emails to another email account to verify that it is working properly.
You are all set! As long as you have setup your external mx records properly you should be good to go. Spend some time on the Zimbra Wiki and Forums and when you master it help others out.
