Before starting with this guide, it is important to draw your attention to one aspect:
You need root rights to give most of the commands shown in this guide. You can simply add “sudo” before any command (eg. sudo yum update). There is also the possibility to log in as root using the command: “ sudo su – ” and then enter the root password and in this case, you no longer have to enter “sudo” before giving commands.
However, it is good practice to avoid performing more actions as root than you need to. Sudo facilitates this by allowing you to run individual commands as root without having to log in as root and without needing an interactive root shell for tasks. If you feel too lazy you can go for “sudo su”, but you have been warned.
Requirements
- A clean minimal installation of CentOS/RHEL 7 or 8
It’s better to have a fresh new installation of OS, but in any case is important to consider that there are some services that are running anyway that may be in conflict with Zimbra, such as MTA, webserver, and mainly postfix. About this last one, in particular, we need to stop and uninstall it in order to have everything working fine:
sudo systemctl stop postfix sudo systemctl disable postfix sudo yum remove postfix
[root@mail maszmail]# sudo systemctl stop postfix [root@mail maszmail]# sudo systemctl disable postfix Removed symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/postfix.service.

- 8 GB of RAM
- At least 5 GB of disk space for software and logs
- FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name), for example “mail.domain.com”
- A & MX record for your Server
Step 1: Melakukan update System dan menginstall Package pendukung
In order to update the system, paying attention to the note above about SUDO, you need to type the following command:
sudo yum -y update

[root@mail maszmail]#
Step 2: Security Checking
Substep 2a: SELinux
Sometimes Security-Enhanced Linux could cause some problems, so it is better to check if it is enabled on your machine, and if it so, change the status to “permissive”.
First of all we need to check the SELinux status:
getenforce
If you find the response is “enforcing”, then type:
sudo setenforce 0
And then again check the status
getenforce
Now you should see the status changed from “enforcing” to “permissive”
[root@mail maszmail]# getenforce Enforcing [root@mail maszmail]# sudo setenforce 0 [root@mail maszmail]# getenforce Permissive [root@mail maszmail]#
NOTE: In some cases, you may want to completely disable SELinux. Refer to the following article to see how to do it.
Substep 2b: Firewall
You will probably have your OS firewall running on your server. In this case, you should open some ports in order to let everything work. Here is how to do that:
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port={25,80,110,143,443,465,587,993,995,9071,7071}/tcp
successsudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port={25,80,110,143,443,465,587,993,995,9071,7071}/tcp
sudo firewall-cmd --reloadPlease note that Ports 7071 and 9071 are used for Admin and proxyed Admin
[root@mail maszmail]# sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port={25,80,110,143,443,465,587,993,995,9071,7071}/tcp
success
[root@mail maszmail]# sudo firewall-cmd --reload
success
[root@mail maszmail]# sudo firewall-cmd --list-all
public (active)

protocols:
masquerade: no
forward-ports:
source-ports:
icmp-blocks:
rich rules:
[root@mail maszmail]#
Now we are ready for the next step
Step 3: Configure System Hostname
The first thing we have to do is to set hostname and FQDN to point to your server IP Address.
To set the hostname, just type:
hostnamectl set-hostname <hostname>
Where <hostname> is the name of your host (for example “mail.domain.com”)
[root@mail maszmail]# hostnamectl set-hostname mail.zmail.local
[root@mail maszmail]# hostnamectl
hostnamectl
Static hostname: mail.zmail.local
Icon name: computer-vm
Chassis: vm
Machine ID: 2537e10a6ef5443dae4fa39d6fb933ce
Boot ID: e63d32f6fd4e4516aa3513ae0539ff84
Virtualization: vmware
Operating System: CentOS Linux 7 (Core)
CPE OS Name: cpe:/o:centos:centos:7
Kernel: Linux 3.10.0-1160.el7.x86_64
Architecture: x86-64
[root@mail maszmail]#
Then we need to add the right IP in file hosts, so let’s type:
nano /etc/hosts
And then add the following line, leaving the others untouched:
<ip-address> <FQDN> <name>
Where <ip-address> is the IP address of your mail server and <FQDN> is the fully qualified domain name you want to use, for example:
[root@mail maszmail]# cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4 ::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6 192.168.1.101 mail.zmail.local mail [root@mail maszmail]#
Now save the changes you made and exit.
To verify that everything is right, let’s make a quick check on A and MX using the dig command (remember to replace “domain.com” with your own one:
dig -t A “mail.domain.com” dig -t MX “domain.com”
[root@mail maszmail]# dig -t A mail.zmail.local ; <<>> DiG 9.11.4-P2-RedHat-9.11.4-26.P2.el7_9.13 <<>> -t A mail.zmail.local ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; WARNING: .local is reserved for Multicast DNS ;; You are currently testing what happens when an mDNS query is leaked to DNS ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 50587 ;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 1 ;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION: ; EDNS: version: 0, flags:; udp: 1232 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;mail.zmail.local.

Substep 3a: Add a Static IP Address
We need a static IP for our mail server, so if your server uses a DHCP dynamic IP Address, then we need to edit our network interface card and configure it to use a static IP Address.
There are different ways to do that. To see how it works, please refer to the following guide:
Different ways to set a Static IP Address on CentOS / RHEL
Step 4: Download and Install Zimbra
Now it’s time to finally install Zimbra. First of all let’s download the latest version, just typing the following command:
—————– For RHEL/CentOS 8 —————–
wget https://files.zimbra.com/downloads/8.8.15_GA/zcs-8.8.15_GA_3953.RHEL8_64.20200629025823.tgz

Extract the downloaded .tgz file using the tar command (the name of the file could vary depending on the one you choose to download):
tar xvf zcs-8.8.15_GA_3953.RHEL8_64.20200629025823.tgz
Then go to the extracted folder:
cd zcs-8.8.15_GA_3953.RHEL8_64.20200629025823
[root@mail maszmail]# tar -xzf zcs-8.8.15_GA_3869.RHEL7_64.20190918004220.tgz [root@mail maszmail]# ls -l total 249812 drwxr-xr-x. 8 503 503 4096 Sep 17 2019 zcs-8.8.15_GA_3869.RHEL7_64.20190918004220 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 255802491 Oct 5 2019 zcs-8.8.15_GA_3869.RHEL7_64.20190918004220.tgz [root@mail maszmail]# [root@mail maszmail]# cd zcs-8.8.15_GA_3869.RHEL7_64.20190918004220 [root@mail zcs-8.8.15_GA_3869.RHEL7_64.20190918004220]# ls -l total 24 drwxr-xr-x. 2 503 503 127 Sep 17 2019 bin drwxr-xr-x. 2 503 503 31 Sep 17 2019 data drwxr-xr-x. 3 503 503 34 Sep 17 2019 docs -rwxr-xr-x. 1 503 503 8873 Sep 17 2019 install.sh drwxr-xr-x. 3 503 503 18 Sep 17 2019 lib drwxr-xr-x. 2 503 503 4096 Oct 3 2019 packages -rw-r--r--. 1 503 503 369 Sep 17 2019 readme_binary_en_US.txt -rw-r--r--. 1 503 503 428 Sep 17 2019 README.txt drwxr-xr-x. 3 503 503 76 Sep 17 2019 util [root@mail zcs-8.8.15_GA_3869.RHEL7_64.20190918004220]#
And now run the install script:
sudo screen ./install.sh
Note: To help prevent an upgrade (or install) session from terminating before it is completed, it is suggested and recommended to use the “screen” command. It is important when the upgrade includes restoring a configuration that has a large number of accounts. The syntax is very simple. Just type : < screen ./install.sh >

Zimbra Packages
Before installing them, here is a brief description of Zimbra packages:
- Zimbra Core: This package includes the libraries, utilities, monitoring tools, and basic configuration files. Zimbra Core is automatically installed on each server.
- Zimbra LDAP: User authentication is provided through OpenLDAP® software. Each account on the Zimbra server has a unique mailbox ID that is the primary point of reference to identify the account. The OpenLDAP schema has been customized for the Zimbra Collaboration Suite. The Zimbra LDAP server must be configured before the other servers. You can set up LDAP replication, configuring a master LDAP server and replica LDAP servers
- Zimbra MTA: Postfix is the open source mail transfer agent (MTA) that receives email via SMTP and routes each message to the appropriate Zimbra mailbox server using Local Mail Transfer Protocol (LMTP). The Zimbra MTA also includes the anti-virus and anti-spam components.
- Zimbra Store: The Zimbra store includes the components for the mailbox server, including Jetty, which is the servlet container the Zimbra software runs within. The Zimbra mailbox server includes the following components:
• Data store. The data store is a MySQL® database.
• Message store. The message store is where all email messages and file attachments reside.
• Index store. Index and search technology is provided through Lucene. Index files are maintained for each mailbox. - Zimbra SNMP: Installing the Zimbra SNMP package is optional. If you choose to install zimbra-SNMP for monitoring, this package should be installed on every Zimbra server.
- Zimbra Logger: Installing the Zimbra Logger package is optional and is installed on one mailbox server. The Zimbra Logger installs tools for syslog aggregation and reporting. If you do not install Logger, the server statistics the server statistics section of the administration console will not display.
Note: The Logger package must be installed at the same time as the mailbox server. - Zimbra Spell: Installing the Zimbra Spell package is optional. Aspell is the open source spell checker used on the Zimbra Web Client.
- Zimbra Apache: This package is installed automatically when Zimbra Spell or Zimbra Convertd is installed.
- Zimbra Proxy: Zimbra proxy can be configured as a POP and IMAP proxy server and for reverse proxy HTTP requests. This package is normally installed on the MTA server or on its own independent server. Zimbra proxy can be installed on more than one server. When the zimbra-proxy package is installed, the proxy feature is enabled. Installing the Zimbra Proxy is optional.
- Zimbra-memcached: Memcached is automatically selected when the zimbra-proxy is installed. At least one server must run zimbra-memcached when the proxy is in use. All installed zimbra-proxies can use a single memcached server.
Select the packages to install
In the end, type “Y” to modify the System. Now it will start downloading the Zimbra-related packages and it can take time depending upon your internet speed.
The system will be modified. Continue? [N] Y
Once all the Zimbra packages are installed in the backend we are almost done.
First of all, we need to set the correct domain after getting DNS error to the primary domain that you added DNS entry for:
DNS ERROR resolving MX for mail.domain.com
It is suggested that the domain name has an MX record configured in DNS
Change domain name? [Yes]
Create domain: [mail.domain.com] domain.com
MX: mail.domain.com (<ip-address>)
After that, we need to set the admin password. To do so, in main menu enter “7” and then “4” in the next one. After that, press “r” to go to previous menu and then press “a” to apply the changes.

You have the option of notifying Zimbra of your installation.
This helps us to track the uptake of the Zimbra Collaboration Server.
The only information that will be transmitted is:
The VERSION of zcs installed (8.8.15_GA_3869_RHEL7_64)
The ADMIN EMAIL ADDRESS created ([email protected])
Notify Zimbra of your installation? [Yes] No

[root@mail zcs-8.8.15_GA_3869.RHEL7_64.20190918004220]#Last Check
One last step will be to check if Zimbra services are running. To do so, you have to proceed this way:
First of all, let’s go out from the package folder:
cd ..
Now we have to access the Zimbra server by typing:
sudo su - zimbra
We can now make a check of Zimbra services to see if they are all running:
zmcontrol status
[root@mail ~]# sudo su - zimbra
Last login: Wed Jul 19 13:47:41 WIB 2023 on pts/0
[zimbra@mail ~]$ zmcontrol status
Host mail.zmail.local
amavis Running
antispam Running
antivirus Running
dnscache Running
imapd Running
ldap Running
logger Running
mailbox Running
memcached Running
mta Running
opendkim Running
proxy Running
service webapp Running
snmp Running
spell Running
stats Running
zimbra webapp Running
zimbraAdmin webapp Running
zimlet webapp Running
zmconfigd Running
[zimbra@mail ~]$
[zimbra@mail ~]$
NOTE: If you were to reboot the system and do the same thing a few of these services may not be working, due to DNSMasq that might be yet to start to work completely when you send the command after the reboot. In this case just type:
zmcontrol restart
To stop and then restart all the services.
You could eventually start directly the ones that are not working, but stopping and restarting all of them is a faster way and gives also a more reliable result.
Step 5: Access Zimbra Admin Portal & Web Mail Client
In order to access the Zimbra Admin Portal, type the below URL in Web Browser:
https://<mail.domain.com>:7071/ or https://<ip-address>:7071
To access the Zimbra Mail Web Client, type the following URL in the browser
https://<mail.domain.com>
Note: For both URLs, we can use the user name as “admin” and the password that we set during the installation.
