Hi Good day to all,

I am having a mail server running on postfix and squirrelmail.

i have setup secure http (https), which currently i am log in to my webmail using

https://www.abc.com/webmail

My questions:-
1) i couldn't find webmail directory inside the /var/www/html (where the DocumentRoot points to).

How can i make it when i type https://www.hurray.com it will go directly to the webmail (Squirrelmail)


Please advice.


Many Thanks

rgds.

well firstly you'll need to setup apache with openssl

then you'll need to make a virtual domain and make the root directory of your virtual apache server to go to /usr/local/share/squirrielmail/ or were ever your squirreilmail is

hi all of here how doing ...iam looking for postfix understanding
from A to Z please iam waiting now ....



regards.....

there isn't really a lot to know about setting up postfix what distro are you useing, you might want to setup webmin, that has an exellent postfix web interface, if you just start postfix, start dovecot (or whatever imap/pop server your using) and start apache.

Then you should be able to login to squirrelmail with any local user name and password.

start looking though your /etc/postfix/main.cf file

you also might want to have a look at this

there is a bit of information on my website listed below if you want to look around that to see mail server setups.

Hi Paul, thanks for your HOWTO..

1) I follow ur guide and got the cert created successfully but when i view my cert it is only valid for one year which suppose to be 1825days (5 years). This is what i key in when creating.

#openssl req -new -x509 -days 1825 -key ca.key -out ca.crt

How can i increase the days?
