SquirlMail with Apache question.

waelaltaqi · 01-10-2007, 10:02 AM

i have SquirrelMail on Qmail IMAP backend. SquirrelMail is running great without no problem. right now, i can browse SquirrelMail by putting http://www.mydomain.com in the browser. i want to be able to browse SquirrelMail from http://www.mydomain.com/webmail instead.

here is SquirrelMail section in httpd.conf:

Code:

<VirtualHost 192.168.0.200:80>
ServerName mail.mydomain.com
ServerAlias mail.*
ServerAdmin postmaster@mydomain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/webmail
</VirtualHost>

what should i change to make SquirrelMail work as http://www.mydomain.com/webmail ?

thank you

Assuming you file layout is the same as mine, you could create

/etc/httpd/conf.d/squirrelmail.conf

containing

Alias /webmail /var/www/webmail

and that should do it (check squirrelmail hasn't already created this file)

Did you mean you can get webmail by browsing www.mydomain.com or mail.mydomain.com?

see this:

Code:

[root@mail conf.d]# dir
manual.conf  php.conf        python.conf  squid.conf  webalizer.conf
perl.conf    proxy_ajp.conf  README       ssl.conf    welcome.conf

it looks like squirrlmail didn't create the config file.

i want to run a website on the same server and i want the users to go to http://www.mydomain.com to get to it. i want to seperate squirellmail on the same server to run http://www.mydomain.com/webmail ....

there should be a way to setup the virtual to run off a diffrent url? any ideas?

thanks

Then create squirrelmail.conf as I suggested!

(if I wasn't quite clear - the contents of squirrelmail.conf should be the line "Alias /webmail /var/www/webmail")

i deleted the virtual server section and created the file and it worked like a charm. thanks for the valuable tip. and sorry for the stupid

question i asked in the previuos post.
