Topic: Help with eGroupWare [SOLVED]

[seicosid]

Hi,

I've installed eGroupWare on my SME 7.5.1 server, as some people complained about the layout and general feel of Horde's webmail GUI.

When the users wanted to view their email on Horde, they used to go to - https://servername/webmail. Now, with eGroupWare installed they have to go to - https://servername/egroupware.

I'm sure you know users doesn't always like change . So........

What I would like to do, if possible, is to allow users to be redirected to the eGroupWare GUI when they go to the /webmail URL.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

.... as some people complained about the layout and general feel of Horde's webmail GUI.

I suggest an acceptable solution to your users may be to use dimp rather than imp.

yum install --enablerepo=smecontribs smeserver-dimp

After install, when you access webmail you will see another option to select dynamic imp, try it.

If you must persist with using egroupware you can create an Alias or a redirect that points at egroupware.
You could modify the existing webmail alias or I'm sure if you do some searching on these forums you will also find suitable answers.
The code in this howto may assist you to create what you want, you will need to modify the steps/values in the howto of course.

If you want to replace Horde you could set up a redirect from /webmail to /egroupware.

Alternately you could set up a friendly named ibay (say email) and redirect from that to egroupware.

In the html folder of the relevant ibay create an html document index.html containing to following:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=https://server/egroupware">

replacing server with the full url of the sme machine.

Good Luck
