    I've installed squirrelmail from .pgk.
    I can login into squirrelmail through https://domain.tl:81/squirrelmail/src/login.php and it works fine.
    I created "webmail" and "mail" records in dns manager and webmail.domain.tld and mail.domain.tld subdomains both whit redirect to https://domain.tl:81/squirrelmail/src/login.php.
    When put in browser http://mail.domain.tld i can reach squirrelmail login page without logo and i can't login into webmail nothing occurs, the page remains the same (login page).

    Any idea?

    Thanks in advance.

    Right-click on the missing image and go to Properties. What image URL is it trying to load?

    Does mydomain.tld point to your server? Does the image exist on the server?

    Yes Falko,

    The domain is hosted in the same server.

    And does it point to your server, i.e., is its DNS record ok?
    You can check with the dig command.

    Does the image exist?

    Yes, results of dig command are Ok.

    This is a redirect rule un apacheconf.

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^webmail\.myowndomain\.com\.ar [NC]
    RewriteRule ^/(.*) https://mydomain.tld.com.ar:81/squirrelmail/src/login.php/$1 [L,R]

    I use mail.domain.tld as "co domain" domain.tld and set redirect to 81 port and that works, try that.

    Very strange. I host 3 websites on my server. For all of them I have created the co-domain webmail. etc. .tld and created the forward (using the panel) to https://www. etc. .tld:81/squirrelmail/src/login.php

    For 2 of the 3 domains this works; the other refuses to do this. I have ticked the "Create DNS" option for all of them.

    The weird thing is that the full path, when entered, does work?!?!

    The only difference is that I own the 2 working domains whereas the 1 that does not work is forwarded to my server from another ISP; could that be causing the problem?

    Your problem is in the redirect path, instead of redirecting to ../login.php, just redirect to /squirrelmail

    The problem is that the redirect seems to automatically add a / at the end and ../login.php/ just does not seem to work right ;)

    Falko/Till, is this standard behaviour for redirects or is this a minor bug?

    The forwarding feature is meant for forwarding to a different directory, not file, that's why we have the / at the end. Maybe we can change that.

    Any change of this being changed in a future release? I had it working before but now that I reinstalled I can't figure out the easy way to do this redirect anymore....

    Luckily almost everything else was pretty well documented so it didn't take me too much time to do a full reinstall of the server with security etc :)
