Hi all,

I'm running Debian on my server with a standard LAMP setup with Bind and Vmware. I am virtualising another copy of debian on this so that I can host Zimbra in a clean environment.

I have one external IP address and a domain name to go with it. I want traffic that goes to internal.domainname.com to go to my copy of zimbra in the VM rather than to the host machine's apache server.

I've been suggested to use iptables - but despite my best efforts I can not get this to work. There are quite a few threads in this sort of area - but none seem to come to a usable conclusion. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What exactly is it that you're having problems with? If you need to open ports in the firewall then this article should help: http://wiki.zimbra.com/index.php?tit..._Configuration

If you are running your VM in a NAT environment then you'll ned to use a Split DNS set-up, article here: http://wiki.zimbra.com/index.php?title=Split_dns You will also need a valid /etc/hosts file, details in the documentation here: http://www.zimbra.com/docs/os/latest...stall/#1057019

There is actually a support forum at Zimbra for the Open Source user (which I guess you're using). Your problems have more than likely been answered already if you search there.

Thanks for your post.
What I am actually trying to achieve is less to do with zimbra than it is to do with my DNS and networking setup.

I am trying to get it so that when a user goes to domain.com they get taken to my homepage - which is running under apache, but when they go to internal.domain.com they go to my copy of zimbra instead. If I had two IP addresses this would be easy - but I need both of my servers on my internal network to respond to different subdomains on the same IP.

Hope this clarifies somewhat.

FYI as dedicated zimbra mail server taken the port 80
so u unable to use others domain inside the server but there ia a way to do that, by pointing zimbra to use another port eg, 81

then you have to use apache virtualhost and proxy pass to point MAIL domain to use port 81 instead of port 80 , and reserve port 80 to ur sub/domain


i can provide step by step if this is the thing u need because i have done this on my mail server , user login will not need to care about the port

cheers
