How To Install Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) On Ubuntu

By -
Zimbra combines email, calendar and address book tools in an integrated system. For the Web Client, this is all found at one address and under one login.Based on Postfix MTA, includes AJAX based web mail and calendering, antispan, search, backup, archiving, .... Built on top of Tomcat, MySQL, JAVA, Apache, Lucene, ClamAV, SpamAssassin, OpenLDAP and of course Postfix technologies. It rocks.




I will use the hostname mail.rahlabs.com in this tutorial together with the IP address 192.168.0.110. Adjust this to your needs, but make sure that mail.rahlabs.com has a valid MX record in DNS (Zimbra needs this!). I assume you want to create email accounts for rahlabs.com instead of mail.rahlabs.com, so you should have an MX record for rahlabs.com as well.

In this example the Zimbra server is in a local network (192.168.0.110 is a private IP address) behind a router, so make sure you use the router's public IP address (1.2.3.4 in this example) in the DNS records - of course this IP address should be static. If you have a dynamic IP address, you could use a service such as DynDNS.org, but keep in mind that most public IP addresses are blacklisted nowadays.

If your Ubuntu server is behind router, make sure that you forward at least port 25 from your router to your Ubuntu server

Step 1) Install ssh daemon
apt-get install ssh openssh-server

Step 2)Then edit /etc/hosts. Make it look like this:
127.0.0.1    localhost.localdomain    localhost
192.168.0.110   mail.rahlabs.com      mail
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
Step 3)Run
echo mail.rahlabs.com > /etc/hostname

Step 4)Restart System
shutdown -r now


Step 5) Disable Services
If this is no fresh system and you have some services already running (such as Postfix, Apache, OpenLDAP), you must disable them first before installing Zimbra. Otherwise Zimbra will fail to install.
For example, to disable Postfix on your system, run
/etc/init.d/postfix stop
update-rc.d -f postfix remove


Step 6)Install Zimbra
First install some prerequisites for Zimbra:
apt-get install curl fetchmail libpcre3 libgmp3c2 libexpat1 libxml2 libtie-ixhash-perl


Step 7)Afterwards, go to http://www.zimbra.com/community/downloads.html and download the Ubuntu 6 (.tgz) package to /usr/src, for example like this:
cd /usr/src
wget http://kent.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/zimbra/zcs-4.5.3_GA_733.UBUNTU6.tgz


Step 8)Afterwards, unpack the Zimbra .tgz file and start the installer:
tar xvfz zcs-4.5.3_GA_733.UBUNTU6.tgz
cd zcs/
./install.sh
The installer will ask a few questions. Answer them like this:

How to hack your xbox 360 completely

By Anonymous -

So you want to hack your 360. Have no idea where to start? This thread should give you a general idea on what you can do with your 360. Lets get started. First of all you'll need to determine the age of your console. This will give you a general idea of what hack you can apply. On the back of the 360 there is a sticker near the AV port (Phat*&Slim*) On that you'll find the MFR date as well as the Console Serial and Product ID. Determining the age of the 360 ​ ​ You'll need to write down your MFR date. This will roughly tell you what board you have in your 360. Xenon: 2005 - 2007 203w power supply, can be JTAGged and RGH'd (14699 only) & R-JTAGged. Zephyr: 2007 - 2008 203w power supply, can be JTAGged and RGH'd (Hard to achieve) & R-JTAGged. Opus: Only from RRoD Repairs from MS (rare revisions) 203/175w power supply, can be JTAGged and RGH'd & R-JTAGged. Falcon: 2007 - 2009 175w power supply, can be JTAGged and

Autonomous mobile additive manufacturing robot runs circles around traditional 3D printers

By Anonymous -

3D printing is revolutionizing the way objects are created, from plastic toys to ceramic dental crowns. But the seemingly boundless possibilities of 3D printing technology have one major limitation—the printers themselves, which are large, bulky, and stationary. Robert Flitsch didn’t like being constrained by the boxy shape of the 3D printer he used while he was a student at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. So this mechanical engineering concentrator developed a wheeled additive manufacturing machine that can literally run (or drive) circles around a traditional 3D printer. He recently launched a startup named Addibots (a  portmanteau  of additive manufacturing and robots), to develop and market his mobile 3D printing robots. “By making the additive manufacturing components completely mobile, you break free of all the workspace limitations of 3D printing,” Flitsch said. “But Addibots also greatly opens the field to many new application space

The power of Bluetooth 4.0

By -

Bluetooth, once trumpeted as the ultimate convenience, quickly proved a headache with plenty of pairing problems and inexplicable connection snafus. Bluetooth 4.0, the newest version of the technology, is about to change all that. The bad Bluetooth rep I personally use Bluetooth daily, and love it. My trusty   LG BHS-700s   works like a charm. For others, however, living with this technology can be frustrating. Often users are asked to enter annoying passwords before linking devices, and sudden reception drops or other software glitches make Bluetooth feel more painful than fun. Honestly I believe the bad old days of Bluetooth are behind us, especially with Bluetooth 4.0, AKA   Bluetooth Smart Ready , on the edge of mass adoption. Already available in the   Motorola Droid Razr   and   Droid Razr Maxx   smartphones plus Apple's   iPhone 4S , Bluetooth 4.0 is expected to hit more handsets and all manner of accessories this year. High-end handsets such as the Motorola Droid Razr
