System Requirements
To install iRedMail, you need:
- A FRESH, working RHEL, CentOS, Scientific Linux system. Supported releases are listed on page Features of iRedMail.
- At least 1GB of memory is required for production use.
- #上面说了一通说需要一个全新安装的系统,不要安装mysql、openldap、postfix、dovecot、amavisd等等,总之就是很新鲜很新鲜的系统。啧啧,可以吃了。
Preparations
Set a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) hostname on your server
Enter command ‘hostname -f’ to view the current hostname:
$ hostname -f mx.example.com #设置主机名
On RHEL/CentOS/Scientific Linux, hostname is set in two files:
- /etc/sysconfig/network: hostname setting
# Part of file: /etc/sysconfig/network #在redhat/centos之类的还需要改此文件。
HOSTNAME=mx.example.com
- /etc/hosts: hostname <=> IP address mapping. Warning: List the FQDN hostname as first item.
# Part of file: /etc/hosts #通过hosts文件设置ip跟主机名的映射,主机名放在最前面!
127.0.0.1 mx.example.com demo localhost localhost.localdomain
Verify the FQDN hostname. If it wasn’t changed, please reboot server to make it work.
$ hostname -f mx.example.com #确认设置的是否正确!
Enable yum repositories for installing new packages
- For CentOS or Scientific Linux, please enable CentOS/Scientific official yum repositories, and DISABLE all third-party yum repositories to avoid package conflict.
- For Red Hat Enterprise Linux, please enable Red Hat Network to install packages, or create a local yum repository with DVD/CD ISO images.
- 上面这几句可以忽视,如果是redhat,需要自动用iso镜像做一个yum源,并启用。推荐还是用centos比较靠谱。
