I would like to access the http://domain.com/webmail through http://email.domain.com what would be the correct way to do this through ispconfig?
Thats a subdomain vhost in apache and not an alias. You will have to create a website email.domain.com in ISPConfig, select php mode mod_php and then add: DocumentRoot /usr/share/squirrelmail in the apache directives field. You might have to add ":/usr/share/squirrelmail" to the PHP open_basedir field of the website as well.
thanks again, "Thats a subdomain vhost in apache and not an alias." I can not add a 'vhost subdomain' through Sites > Websites > Subdomain (Vhost) ?? but excuse my ignorance ... but I found hundreds of articles on how to do this in apache ... the ones I tried not work. could you please suggest a tutorial or more specific page? "You will have to create a website email.domain.com in ISPConfig, select php mode mod_php" I create as "Sites > Add new website" or as "Subdomain (Vhost)" ??
Sure, you can do that, but it does not make much sense for that what you described above. I asked you to create a new website and not a vhost subdomain.
Here is your tutorial: 1) create a website email.domain.com in ISPConfig, select php mode mod_php 2) Add: DocumentRoot /usr/share/squirrelmail in the apache directives field of that website. 3) Add ":/usr/share/squirrelmail" to the PHP open_basedir field of the website.
i did that... but only appears that page "It works!" the only thing I did different was that instead of email.dominio.com, I used webmail.dominio.com I have to do any changes to the dns zones?
Then you must have set an IP address in your apache default vhost file so that it takes precedence over other vhosts. Change the Ip address in the vhost file back to _default_ or change it to * and restart apache.
you know any specific tutorial that I can follow to change the correct apache files without destroying my server? there any other way to add this IP to the list? in order to use the ispconfig and not need to change any configuration of the server?
The steps I posted above are the ones that i used on friday on a custmer serve, so they should work. but it mighte be that oyu changed already things before that make them fail now. You can add the Ip under System > Server IP in ispconfig.
happened some strange things here. I would like to your help again, for kindness... I will describe and detail what I did, and what happened: 1) i have one certain domain, as domain.com 2) in dns zones, i added a new zone record to this domain 2.1) a added a cname record, in the hostname i put 'webmail' and in 'target hostname' i put domain.com. (with dot at end) 3) i added a site, and: 3.1) in field 'IPv4-Address' i put the ip address of my server, that was previously added to "System> System> IP Server addesses" 3.2) in field PHP i put 'mod-php' 3.3) in tab 'Options', in 'PHP open_basedir' i added :/usr/share/squirrelmail at the end 3.4) in tab 'Options', in 'Apache Directives' i added DocumentRoot /usr/share/squirrelmail after that, the webmail.domain.com show the squirrelmail correctly. but, happens that when I open all the domains that have on my server, for example, aaa.com bbb.com ccc.com etc.com ... all of them open the squirrelmail. they all open the same squirrelmail without the subdomain 'webmail'... then, i back in Sites, and i edited the domain.com, i remove the Ip address and back the * in field. well, that made all the sites returned to normal and the webmail.domain.com works normally. I wonder if I did something wrong.... I did?
you have to select the IP address in all sites instead of *. If you mix ip address and * on a server, then all request will go to the site that has the ip address selected. regardless of the domain name.
right, then the correct is, or let all with *, or set all with their respective and correct ip, is it?
