I give credit to the original poster over at vps.net. The answer is out there you just got to SEARCH HARD and learn to read.

METHOD 1

Create the Zimbra VPS and then login to it via SSH, once logged in issue the following commands:

Code:

    su - zimbra
zmlocalconfig -e ldap_url=ldap://localhost:389
zmlocalconfig -e ldap_master_url=ldap://localhost:389
zmlocalconfig -e ldap_port=389
zmlocalconfig -e ldap_host=localhost
/usr/local/bin/zimbra-conf DOMAIN ADMIN_PASS

Replace DOMAIN with the domain you want it to setup so that it sets up mail.domain.com and replace ADMIN_PASS with a proper password.

The last command may show some errors but it doesn't seem to affect anything so once its done restart the VPS and once restarted browse tohttps://VPS_IP:7071 and login with admin@domain.com and the admin password you entered.

Method 2

Create the Zimbra VPS and then login to it via SSH, once logged in issue the following commands:

Code:

    su - zimbra
zmlocalconfig -e ldap_url=ldap://localhost:389
zmlocalconfig -e ldap_master_url=ldap://localhost:389
zmlocalconfig -e ldap_port=389
zmlocalconfig -e ldap_host=localhost

zmcontrol stop
/opt/zimbra/libexec/zmsetservername NEW_HOSTNAME
zmprov createDomain domain.com
zmprov ca admin@domain.com test123 zimbraIsAdminAccount TRUE

Replace DOMAIN with the domain you want it to setup so that it sets up mail.domain.com and replace test123 with a proper password.

The last command may show some errors but it doesn't seem to affect anything so once its done restart the VPS and once restarted browse tohttps://VPS_IP:7071 and login with admin@domain.com and the admin password you entered.

Hope that helps!
