[SOLVED] simple squirrelmail login redirect question

scottmusician · 09-15-2011, 12:38 AM

Hey everyone,

Although my squirrelmail login page comes up correctly as:

https://mail.mydomain.com/src/login.php

users are getting 404 errors after logging in, because a successful login is taking them to:

https://mail.mydomain.comsrc/webmail.php

any ideas on where to change this?

Thanks!

Are you sure there is no slash "/" after mail.mydomain.com? If that's the case you should get a "Server not found" or something like that because of the wrong domain name (mydomain.comsrc).
Getting a 404 error means that the domain part is correct and you're trying to access a page that does not exist. In this case check the web server error_log to see what this page is.

after checking again in firefox, the error isn't a 404, but:

Server not found
Firefox can't find the server at mail.mydomain.comsrc

I've checked the ./conf.pl script settings, certainly no reference to mydomain.comsrc in there... but i'm not sure where else to look?

In this case it's not a squirrelmail misconfiguration.
It looks like you're doing some sort of URL redirection and you have forgotten the trailing slash.
If you're running apache check in httpd.conf and/or .htaccess for the respective directives

hi there!

Yes, sorry for not posting it before.

I had actually setup a redirect so that my https://mail.mydomain.com was the default login page for apache (for instructions on how i did this, see http://www.linuxmail.info/squirrelma.../#virtual-host ). as a part of this, i had to change the code in my .conf file from:

Code:

redirect permanent / https://mail.mydomain.com

to

Code:

redirect permanent / https://mail.mydomain.com/
