after I had server all setup and had ISPconfig installed i decided to install the squirrle mail and now the mail section in ISPConfig no longer works. i cannot creat email accounts or anything. Is there any thing I can do to fix it or i have to re-install the the whole server?
You used a wrong alias for squirrelmail. If you use alias /mail instead of the alias /webmail as described in the perfect setup guide, the ispconfig mail section will fail.
I honestly don't remember that alias, but when I access my server http://videoserver.publicvm.com/webmail the squirrel mail login page comes on. So the alias might be correct Any other thoughts of what might have gone wrong?
There must be a alias for "/mail" somewhere in your apache files. try to search it with grep: grep mail /etc/apache2/conf.d/* grep mail /etc/apache2/*
the grep command brings up, between others, this two lines /etc/apache2/conf.d/squirrelmail.conf:Alias /webmail /usr/share/squirrelmail /etc/apache2/conf.d/squirrelmail.conf:Alias /mail /usr/share/squirrelmail What should I now? Just delete the /mail alias?
Thank you so much it did work. I deleted the alias restarted the server and it works. thank you, Thank you
