Unable to login SquirrelMail

satimis · 12-09-2007, 04:13 AM

Hi folks,

Ubuntu 7.04 server amd64
SquirrelMail

I can't login SquirrelMail if w/o running "sudo iptables -F'. So I tried to find out which rule on /etc/rc.local obstructs the connection. To my surprise after comment out all rules there I still can't login w/o running "sudo iptables -F".

Adding following rules did not help;

Code:

# allows incomming port 143
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 143 -j ACCEPT

Replacing eth0 with Server IP address also did not help.

Remark: ran "sudo /etc/init.d/rc.local start" after changing /etc/rc.local

Please advise how to solve the problem. TIA

B.R.

Is squirrelmail on the same box as you imap server? If so, eth0 is irrelevant. You may need a rule along the lines of

iptables -A INPUT -p ALL -i lo --source 127.0.0.1 -j ACCEPT

Thanks for your advice.

Yes, squirrelmail is on the same box as imap server.

Performed following steps;

Edited /etc/rc.local

Copy and paste your line on "Input" section.

$ sudo /etc/init.d/rc.local start

Start Squirrelmail and login. Result is the same w/o improvement.

Do I need to make change on /etc/hosts ?

$ cat /etc/hosts

Code:

127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost
192.168.0.10    mail.satimis.com        mail

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

TIA
