I've got squirrelmail 1.4.4 up and running. It's running as a webmail interface connecting to a non linux IMAP and SMTP server so I can check my mail on the road without using their bogged down webmail. Everything works fine, except the image on the login page doesn't display. When I look at the properties I see:

So I look at the virtual host entry and see

So I check for /usr/share/squirrelmail/images/sm_logo.png and see

So far so good I'd think, so I check the error logs and I find

Somehow the /squirrelmail/ subdirectory is getting lost. I'm sure it's a simple thing but I'm not seeing it. Anyone got any ideas?

It's getting lost cause your using it as a virtual host and it doesn't look at the squirrelmail folder as a directory path to images..

If you go to http://www.domain.com/squirrelmail/images/sm_logo.png I betcha a $100.00 bucks it shows up..

So what do you need to do: Probably easist thing to do is either put the full path of the image in the main index page for your squirrelmail.

I tried putting in the full path of http://mail.domain.com/squirrelmail/images/sm_logo.png and still got a 404 error. Apache logs for that show:

There isn't an index it re-directs to a login.php which is configured via config.php . If I put the full path in the config.php as /usr/share/squirrelmail/images/sm_logo.png I get the following:

Well, http://mail.domain.com/squirrelmail/images/sm_logo.png with the mail before .domain isn't going to work with the full path setup as a virtual host. You'll notice I said www.domain.com to test the full path to the directory.

What is the / directory path of your actual domain setup?

The root domain doesn't point to this linux box. I setup a subdomain that does nix.domain.com which points to /var/www/ and the debian ph page there. If I go to http://nix.domain.com/squirrelmail/images/sm_logo.png I still get a 404 and the following in the error logs:

Okay, apparently your not understanding what I'm asking.. post your httpd.conf file..

I thought I did, but apparently not. Forum post limits won't let me post the entire httpd file, so I put a zipped up version at http://nix.fallenchaos.com/~jchieppa/httpd.zip

If you truly have a sm_logo.png in your /usr/share/squirrelmail/images then you need to change your login page to have this instead:

Without the ../ since when you specify a virtual host with a directory, that becomes the root directory for that virtual host. So specifying a ../ is telling the browser to try and grab the image from /usr/share/images instead of /usr/share/squirrelmail/images hence the error in your logs..

I am the smartest man alive..

There are two different references to the logo.. one in the login.php and one in the config.php. Now the variables should be defined in the config.php and pulled from there. Here is what is listed in the config.php

Here is what is listed in the login.php

Modifying the <img src="images/sm_logo.png" gets me the following in the logs

the login.php is in the /usr/share/squirrelmail/src/ directory.. .so if I change the image src to ./images/sm_logo I see

[Wed May 11 09:44:19 2005] [error] [client 216.229.107.32] File does not exist:
/usr/share/images/sm_logo.png

and putting in the absolute path gives me the same doubling I posted in the inital thread.

I do see what you are talking about though, looking at the final html output from the login.php it's showing <img src="../images/sm_logo.png which explains why it's looking in /usr/share/ I just don't see why changing it in the config isn't updating that.

Make it easier for yourself then.. create an images directory in your src directory named the same thing, so its in both places. Or change your overall code to represent what and where the real logo should be located at.
