Hai,

Iam new to linux. One week back I have installed RHEL5.0. In this I have configured samba server for my end users(who uses windows 98 systems). And I installed fetchmail, postfix and deovcot. I would like to install the squirrelmail for web access.

I require your help in installing the same. I downloaded the squirrelmail and installed. When i try to connect via by web browser, iam unable to see the login screen.

And also iam having doubt in installing courier imap. I tried in the google. but iam unable to understand the way they produced. Can you please help me in step by step configuration please.


Here iam using 2 NIC cards, one is for internal use and the other one is for external use.

my internal ip is 192.168.100.x
and the external is 192.168.1.x


Sorry for disturbing all of you.


Thanks and warm regards,

A.K. kannan

Squirrel Mail is a pretty straightforward install, but you need all the other components that it connects with. It is a php web application. So, you need to be running Apache and php within apache. You put the squirrelmail distribution in the web tree. Then there is a configuration script you run that is perl that sets up the config file. Before you do that, however . . .

Squirrel Mail is a mail client. Not a mail server. You connect to it via the web. It takes your login and connects over localhost to the mail server on your server. So, you need the appropriate mail server set up.

I would first make sure all your mail services are working. Test with the usual clients (Thunderbird, Eudora, whatever). Make sure you can connect with imap as well.

Then test your web and php stuff. Only when you know all that is working, jump into squirrel mail.
