http://xxx:81/webmail -> http://mail.xxx

Hey All,

I'm here again...

I install the Uebimaiu in my ISCConfig Server, but the port 81 in not accessible in many places, like in my work place.

I want to access my mail in the simple way, like: http://mail.domain. Actually I access in http://domain:81/webmail.

I read others posts about this issue, but many is so confused to me. I don't want the redirect solution, because I think in the places where uncommom ports 81 is not accessible.

Antecipated Thanks,

Hi there,

I have written three easy how to's which might help you to setup a webmail client running on port 80.

Please have a look here:

http://www.howtoforge.com/taxonomy_menu/1/75

You can choose between IlohaMail, SquirrelMail and RoundCube.
I did not wrote a how to for Uebimiau, but maybe the how to at http://www.howtoforge.com/telaen_webmail_howto might help you too.
(Telaen is based on Uebimiau).

 

Another question...

Hello Hans,

I will try RoundCube, the tutorial is very clear!

Are there another tutorial to setup http://domain:81 to http://admin.domain?

This mode is very helpful outsite my server network.

Thanks,

Vinicius

 

Have a look here: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4829&highlight=ispconfig+port

 

I followed the RoudCube Tutorial, is very simple and clear.

But, I have some one quention:

I already have a www.domain entry, I want to use RoundCube Mail for this domain. I add a co-domain webmail.domain forward to /webmail. I install the RoundCube Mail in /var/www/domain/web/webmail. When I access http://webmail.domain nothing happend, but when I access http://www.domain/webmail everything is good!

Is the problem in the main.inc.php? Or is in the forward or DNS Entry?

Thanks All,

Along the same lines...

Hi all, I am new to the forums. I had the same problem and it was a dns issue, not creating my webmail.domain.com record to point to https//domain.domain.com:81/xxx/xxx fixed 99% of it. However, I now have a very small problem. The forward / at the end of the address keeps it from working. Take it away and good to go. I tried both ways in co-domain setup forward but no luck. ANy ideas?

thanks Interprb

 

In the DNS-rescords of your domainname (at your DNS-provider), there is a A-record which points to your server.
Let's say: www.mydomain.tld points to your IP-address.
Make sure that webmail.mydomain.tld points to your IP-address as well.

 

Thanks Hans for your help. The dns records are ok. I error happens when a / is placed at the end of the address. It seems that the domain forward might add this. ?? I also noticed that redirect.php is added to the end
ex. https://domain.domain.tld:81/squirrelmail/src/webmail/login.php/ causes the error. You only get a login with no logo pic and can't log in. Take the / off the end and it works. Maybe in the ispconf co-domain script that adds the / ? I really don't know.

Thanks again.

 

Problem saving RoundCube Personal Settings

Hans,

I followed your RoundCube Guide, was very easy. But, I don't get save my Personal Settings. I configure Time Zone, Identity and others things, and save. I logoff and after I login this configs is missing.

I check the pormissions of all files, all have the www-data.

I don't know what happen.

Thanks,

Vinicius

 

Hi,

I have read about "saving identities" problem in RoundCube before.
I had the same problem when i used the .pkg package provided by ISPConfig.

I do not have these problems, since i've setup and use RoundCube according my Howto.

The only thing is that i still have to remove the .@www. within the emailaddress.

I've also read in RoundCube forums that it might help if you set your emailaccount to "default" within the RoundCube identities screen.

I would say, give this option a try.

Let me know your experience about this.

 

Hi Hans,

I find a way to manage this problem. First I erase all registers in the MySQL database with PHPMyAdmin, erase the table sessions and identities from Roundcube Database. After that, I login with the ISPConfig user like webx_AAAAA, I change and save my personal settings. And when I relogin my settings is correct...

I don't agree with my solution, but is functional.... I found in the Google, RoundCube User List, something like a patch, but I couldn't download it.

This my experience....

 

I did not have your problems, but your solution sounds great.
I'm happy that it works now for you.

RoundCube is getting better and better, we must not forget that it is still in beta.
However, the current version works really nice on my server.

 

Check your Vhosts_ispconfig.conf. You should find a rewrite rule there that does the forwarding. What does it look like?

 

Hi

I have installed following the instrucciones of this how to, but the following error appear in the login : DB error: Couldn't access users table (Unknown column 'id' in 'field list')

They can help me?

Thank you

 

I would sugest the easiest solution, I use at the moment:

create a manual vhost for mail.* which forwards everzone of zour hosted domains to a single installation of zour favorite webemail client.

in mz case I have installed squirrelmail and roundcube (you can use the tutorials of hans) into /var/www/webmail/web/squirrelmail and /var/www/webmail/web/roundcube
my /var/www/webmail/web/index.html is just a simple page which lets you choose between those 2 webmailers.
then I created the mail.* vhost pointing to /var/www/webmail/web/ and created mail.hosteddoamins.com DNS entries for all my hosted domains.
you need no redirect, the mail.* vhost will catch every access to mail subdomain of each of your domains....

I hope I made myself clear about this.

 

I am sorry, can you break it down a little more for me please.

 

I am having this problem as well. If I curl http://webmail.mydomain.com, it works just fine, but if I try to pull it up in a browser, forward slash is added and I get a page not found error. My webmail vhost entry looks like this:

Code:
