Title: Change port on sme 6
Post by: sme6 on April 19, 2004, 06:31:48 PM

I need to change the port that sme listens to http requests. is there anywhere that I can get documentation on how to do this for sme 6? I have found vaious for preious ersions but usually something is missing from sme 6 that was in a previous version. I have tried a bunch of things but nothing seems to work correctly..

yup I tried that but it didnt work one of the files he is talking about is non existant. 80Aliases00 35Listen80  has some similar sintax but not even close to what is shown on "http://www.familybrown.org/howtos/listen-port-howto.html" . I tried what I could changing the port number on 35Listen80 but it did nothing. I also had a problem trying to run the [root@e-smith /root]# /sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf command. This gave me an error wich might be the root cause of why it didnt work.  Either way I restarted and nothing ... need help

Hi - these lines in Dan's Howto create those two files.
Next, copy the files 35Listen80 and 80Aliases00 to that directory:

[root@e-smith /root]# cp /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/35Listen80 \ > /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/


[root@e-smith /root]# cp /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/80Aliases00 \
> /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/

A neat trick is to copy the line and right clicking at a command prompt will paste it, then you are sure the syntax is correct.
good luck
brian

Title: IT WORKS but ....
Post by: sme 6 on April 21, 2004, 12:47:39 AM

Thanks for the help

Got it to work but ....

here is what happens when I try that on sme 6 . the first file copy works good  the second does this.

[root@e-smith /root]# cp: cannot stat: '/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/80Aliases00': no such file or directory

What does this file do????

doesnt that \> just mean that it continues on the next line? i think thats what it was if I could remember correctly

Title: now I have webmail problems
Post by: sme 6 on April 21, 2004, 11:15:59 PM

cant access webmail page from networked computer this doesnt work. I already enabled the email on the server manager. http or https to test

http://esmith:8080/webmail/  doesnt work
so I cant access the mail page.

I also cant access the server manager from the actual sme box I guess it might be looking for it on the wrong port now but I dont know how to change it. any help???
it is trying to open

http://esmith/server-manager/

but should probably be opening

http://esmith:8080/server-manager/
wich is how I open it from a browser on my other computer...

any suggestions?

You can try http://yourserver:8000000000/webmail and it will not work

why don't you READ a little you only need to check http://your-server/webmail    or

http://ip-address/webmail

when I have it on the standard port 80 it works fine but if I switch it up to another port is when I cant access the mail.
