Hello Many of u ar tryng to change the domain.tld/webmail to webmail.domain.tld. So I have tryed for adout a week to come up fith something so...here ar the results. After installing squirrlemail there is a comand line in the how to install ISPConfi 3 tutorial and namely this Code: ln -s /usr/share/squirrelmail/ /var/www/webmail . ok u can make that comand and configure you mail client. After that make a new client in ISPConfig with a new site and the domain webmail.domain.tld. After this the folder /var/clients/client(nr)/web(nr)/web is creted "where nr is number". Now.... Code: ln -s /usr/share/squirrelmail/* /var/clients/client(nr)/web(nr)/web Now seting permisions Code: chmod +x /var/lib/squirrelmail/* Code: chown -R web(nr) /var/lib/squirrelmail So thats about it. Hope it works for u to. If this works send some feedback or thanx
Some additions Hi All Firstly thank you Robilaur for this great post, I have been trying for a while to sort this. I hope you do not mind but may I make some additions to your post that may help others that are trying to achieve this and also enable Squirrelmail over HTTPS. firstly I have posted my system spec so that if any one has similar then they will now that this works: Debian 5 Lenny ISPConfig 3 RC2 Squirrelmail Falkos (Perfect server setup for the above operating system) I followed Robilaurs instructions but just to clarify some things. Code: ln -s /usr/share/squirrelmail/* :/var/clients/client(nr)/web(nr)/web On a Dabian system you have to include /www in the symlink. e.g. Code: ln -s /usr/share/squirrelmail/* :/var/www/clients/client(nr)/web(nr)/web Also following Squirellmail's recommendations the command: Code: chmod +x /var/lib/squirrelmail/* Should be: Code: chmod 775 /var/lib/squirrelmail/ And you should also change the permissions of the users .pref folder otherwise you will get an error when trying to log in So change the .pref folder to: Code: chmod 664 [email protected] Now if you enable a site to have SSL then create an SSL certificate for it. now create a redirect by selecting redirect type (R) and redirecting to Https://webmail.yourdomain.co.uk. This means that if a user types in Http by accident it will auto direct to Https. You can now delete the old /webmail folder as it is no longer used. Code: rm -r /var/www/webmail That's it.... just for cleanliness sake only, restart Apache just to be on the safe side Code: /etc/init.d/apache2 restart I hope this clarifies a few things and also helps out others in the same boat.

this is due recent change of default webfolder location. change was made 02-Mar-2009. if one has not updated from SVN after that, Robilaur's original symlink works.
Hy all..... well thanx for the addition that u made...i was hoping that some of u whould come with additions so ve can make this work as good as it can. Thanx again
Even better would be a rewrite rule on the webserver level - Code: RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d RewriteRule ^(.+[^/])$ $1/ [R] RewriteRule ^/webmail/ http://webmail.example.com [R,L] Stick this in the "optional" section at the bottom of the site page in ispconfig and it will take all requests to a directory with no trailing / (this converts /webmail to /webmail/), and then takes /webmail/, and /webmail/* and redirects them to http://webmail.example.com.
