Okay after having issues setting this up with CentOS I tried setting it up on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
This time, I couldn't get iRedMail to configure. MySQL returned error at numerous steps at the time of configuration.
Here is the log of the configuration :

Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' exists!

*************************************************************************
* iRedMail-0.8.5 installation and configuration complete.
*******************************************************************I read on the forum that it could be because of MySQL being installed before installing iRedMail but it is not the case here.
I did setup a MySQL password during iRedMail setup and did a FRESH install on the server.
What went wrong?
