M2: success on FC4 in Xen machine

Hi,
I just got M2 network edition working on FC4 in a Xen machine.

What I did was make a very minimal FC4 install, and then install zimbra.
I ran into the following issues:

- fetchmail required

- compat-libstdc++-33 required

- compat-db required

- libssl.so.4 required
The solutions are quite straight-forward:

- yum install fetchmail

- yum install compat-libstdc++-33

- yum install compat-db

- ln -s /lib/libssl.so.0.9.7f /lib/libssl.so.4

- ln -s /lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7f /lib/libcrypto.so.4
Then install zimbra.
You will get warnings on fetchmail and libstdc++ during installation if they are missing; the compat-db was reported missing when stopping zimbra; not sure it is really needed.

The libssl and libcrypto are known issues from M1.
Now let's enjoy shared calendars!

Sietse

I would be very interested in more detail on this. I am running Xen with Debian 3.1 for the dom0 and FC4 for a domU. I've installed the zimbra package for FC4 but after running 'zmcontrol start' I get this:
Host zimbra.chromedcomputing.com

ERROR: service.FAILURE (system failure: getDirectContext) (cause: javax.naming.CommunicationException localhost:389)
My /etc/hosts looks like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain locahost

192.168.0.92 zimbra.chromedcomputing.com
and my DNS server matches the last line of my /etc/hosts.
No other errors I've spotted, install goes without error and 'ldap start' is successful.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Can you telnet to port 389 after you start LDAP? It may not be running.

Solved this one - the ip_tables module was loaded but not the iptable_nat module was not - much better now.

Ok, we're making progress, but still have an error.

The install goes ok, and the services start up.

But, when accessing the admin panel I only get a grey screen under Firefox. Under IE I get the following errors (see attached)
I diff'd the page source on my server and the demo.zimbra.com server - the output is the same (except the the id code) so it must be an internal server problem.
Any thought's would be appreciated.
