20	Congratulations! You now have a brand new Zimbra Server! Take some time to verify things: # Type: sudo su - zimbra # Type: zmcontrol status The services status information is displayed. All services should be running: [[administrator@zimbra ~]$ zmcontrol status Host zimbra.yourdomain.com antispam Running antivirus Running convertd Running ldap Running logger Running mailbox Running mta Running snmp Running spell Running stats Running zmconfigd Running [administrator@zimbra ~]$
21	If services are not running, type zmcontrol start.
22	We're now ready to log into the admin interface at https://zimbra.yourdomain.com:7071
23	That's it for now! Hope you learnt stuff..... :) Courtsey : http://tanglesolutions.com
