POP3 SMTP FTP problem

arsu · Nov 11, 2005

Hi!

I have installed Ubuntu using http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_ubuntu_5.10 and after many hours of work and a lot of help from this forum i've managed to make it work, well, with a few exceptions:

1. I want to know if it is possible to acces https://mydomain.com:81/webmail something like http(s)://mail.mydomain.com and if it posible ... how?

2. I can't connect to the server with a mail client to retrieve and send mails from my account (if i access it via https://mydomain.com:81/webmail it's work just fine). It says something like "Incoming server 'mail.mydomain.com' not found".

and

3. I cannot access ftp://ftp.mydomain.com via web browser (i can connect with a ftp client), i believe that it don't allow anonymous connection. How can i fix that.

and...i almost forgot.... under System/Administration/Login Screen Setup Xserver tab i deleted whatever war written there (Servers to start) by accident and now i get some sort of error every time server restart. Can somebody just copy paste that?

Please help !

My /webmail/inc/config.php looks like this:

Please create DNS records (A records) for mail.mydomain.com. Then it will work.

3. I cannot access ftp://ftp.mydomain.com via web browser (i can connect with a ftp client), i believe that it don't allow anonymous connection. How can i fix that.

Does ftp.mydomain.com exist in DNS?

Also make sure that ns1.mydomain.com exists in DNS.

I think you're basically having DNS problems because of non-existant records.
