Topic: webmail url doesn't work - How do I do it?

[J-L Boers]

E-Smith 4.0.1 and Dan Browns webmail addons installed and configured.

I can get to webmail and use it (I verified it's working well). However the url
http://mydomain/webmail does not work. I must use http://mydomain/horde/imp in order to get the IMP logon page.  From this point on, all works well.

I have searched the lists and have not really found an answer. How do I make webmail show up with the    http://mydomain/webmail    url?

Many thanks,
J-L

the /webmail is an enhancement that will come with 4.1, on 4.0 and 4.0.1 the /horde/imp is the url to use,  unless you want to install to a different place manually then you can setup a ibay and put the webmail install in there.

I can't give you the official answer, but I can tell you what worked for me.

I edited the http.conf file in /etc/httpd/conf

I added the following line:

Alias \webmail  \home\e-smith\files\primary\html\horde\imp

I added it here:


Alias \webmail  \home\e-smith\files\primary\html\horde\imp

#====================
# End of aliases                
#====================

Then did a - service httpd restart - on the console

The upside is it works.  The downside is that if something ever triggers a
/sbin/e-smith/signal event/console-save, then your settings will be lost and you have to re-input them, and restart httpd.  For me I tested this and did lose the settings in the httpd.conf file, but the /webmail still worked.  I tested it on several machines.  I am not using a proxy server at all.

I looked at editing the templates, specifically 80Aliases00, in /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/hpttd/conf/httpd.conf, but it had some code in it.  Being a newbie, I didn't want to change or mess it up, and I don't know how to add my own template, or use the template-begin file.

Hope this helps.
