ISPCONFIG 3 & Centos 6.4 - ALMOST right but...

ISPCONFIG and DNS AND Another Question! Having fun.

I think I was just not waiting long enough - it does update the allow-transfer fields in named.conf.local.

Till - I see instructions for incorporating Roundcube with ISPCONFIG 3 and Wheezy (Debian). I dont see such instructions for Centos 6.4 - and (to be honest) I dont want to screw up the install...

could you check them and see what we need to install with Centos 6.4? I'd paypal you an extra donation
I see it uses apt-get but dont want to use that if it fails or causes other problems.

what should we try to get RoundCube up and going?

also - somewhat of an annoyance - my server shows no issues, but I'm getting the odd 30-60 second inability to get ISPCONFIG to update a screen.
I'm not sure if its verizon (FIOS) or something else - can you think of a way to check what might be doing this? I recently moved a server to my house and switched ISP. is there anything out there for centos that might detect some intermittent DNS failure that lasts 30-60 seconds and then clears up?
additional donation would be appropriate
cdb.

ps LOVE ISPCONFIG. Really. super nice software.

 

roundcube install

Ok i'll give that a try - it includes the ISPCONFIG3 plugins?

and the 30-60 seconds is the browser hanging which is ridiculous when I'm in my home and the server is 10 feet away.

not sure if its a server problem or an internet/router/wireless problem. tuff to see where to start!
but the server logs dont seem to show any unusual behaviour

 

roundcube install

I'm installing as per instructions - which are not quite right there is no 'servers' tab but the packages tab I found and it says 'install now' so I clicked on it and now it says 'installation in progress' how long should it take?

also dont see the roundcube.conf file you say get it from github where is it?
cdb.

 

roundcube install

oh - after doing the 'package' install do I still need some of the manual install instructions? does it create the remote user itself? or do I need to do those after the package install is complete?

 

roundcube getting close

I found a roundcube.conf in another install and modified it sufficiently I think:

but when I log into:
https://www.myserver.com:myport/webmail
the roundcube signon appears but no server name is available
and entering a valid account and pw gets 'invalid server name'

any ideas?

roundcube install

do you specify the servername as part of the url? not seeing where it would be indicated
cdb.

 

roundcube server url

I mean the url to identify the server name to associate with login and password?
it does use the ISPCONFIG3 database right?
with squirrelmail you had to add a ?servername=xxx.com to the url when you visited the server.

 

roundcube not listening?

nothing seems to be listening on 8081 where is that specified?

 

apps.vhost

ok - found the file apps.vhost --
but there is nothing in the document root.
should it not be /var/www/apps/roundcube?
or should something not be in the /var/www/apps directory?
(I see its listed below as /var/www**//**apps - anything missing?)

ISPCONFIG3 and more fun

still playing around with ISPCONFIG 3 and yes I've read the manual. but a question - I'm running centos 6.4 on a poweredge 2970 server that has the Dell Perc 6 raid controller installed. anyway to get ISPCONFIG 3 to report on this hardware raid status? currently it only will report on software RAID from what I can tell so the status is not listed. it would be wonderful if I could see how the hardware controller is doing from within ISPCONFIG

 

roundcube and raid

I'll get the info on the perc 6.

still no joy on roundcube. when I access it via xxx.com/webmail I see the following pop up in the error log at /var/www/apps/roundcube/logs
But the roundcube webmail login screen has only fields for username and password. no pulldown for server no place to put server.
and any entry gives 'invalid server name'.

and accessing any www address with :8081 gives the generic apache2 'your website is here' page. nothing to do with roundcube...
digging through more logs...

roundcube problems

no other server and as far as I know its set to use localhost (the server field is blank).
when I correct the conf files and restart httpd and try to access the port 8081 all I see is 'no permission to access /index.php' messages...

 

roundcube vhost?

I notice in the installed packages the user it lists is ispapp1 but the vhost has
SuexecUserGroup ispapps ispapps

in the mod_fcgid.c block but not in the mod_php5 block.
I added it there as well surely.
both the document roots and the directories were originally
/var/www//apps
in the vhost I changed that to /var/www/apps/roundcube
but thats not likely to be correct is it? surely we want to come in to a different root than the /webmail aliased in roundcube.c.

what should the vhost files have as DocumentRoot?


oh -- I corrected the problem in accessing webmail properly...
I changed $rcmail_config['default_host']='' to ='localhost';

now logging to:
www.mydomain.com/webmail

and now logging with the full email address (including the domain)
eg [email protected]
pw xxxx
brings up roundmail properly!

maybe I dont need the vhost anymore!
