Address of webaccess

Postby kejpa » Tue Jan 13, 2009 3:26 pm

Hi,
I'm a bit embarrased :oops:
What address has my webaccess login page?

I would very much like it to be http://www.kejpa.com/webmail but it isn't.
Strangely, on the server it is to be found as http://mandrake.kejpa.com/webmail (the servers name's mandrake)
I read the HowTos/ApacheConfiguration (http://www.scalix.com/wiki/index.php?ti ... figuration) and looking in the conf files I found that it should be http://<hostname>/Scalix/web, which it isn't either.

So please help me to make the address what I'd like it to be :wink:
TIA
/Kjell

It is http://<fqdn>/webmail - the FQDN being the full name of the server. so if your server is named host.domain.com it will be at http://host.domain.com/webmail. You can use apache to create virtual hosts that have different names, but it needs to be set up correctly on the mail server and your DNS server. If you want to do this, I suggest you read up on it on the Internet, it's not something you'd do right from the start. Some of the stuff is quite tricky to get exactly right (especially SSL support).

Hi,
I don't want the fqdn of the server to be in the public dns, I just want www.domain to be there.
If thought that I maybe could create an Alias in the httpd.conf file and that way access the webmail by www.domain/webmail, what directory should I point at? I've tried to find it but I'm lost :(

Plz help me, TIA

You need to add the mod_ajp / mod_proxy connections back in. Look in /etc/opt/scalix to see how it's done exactly. And DNS is needed to work - www.domain,com MUST point to the Scalix server, otherwise this won't work as connections won't arrive there.

In my /etc/opt/scalix/ dir there's only one file "instance.cfg" which contains

Code: Select all

OMNAME=mandrake
OMHOSTNAME=mandrake.kejpa.com
OMDATADIR=/var/opt/scalix/me/s
OMAUTOSTART=TRUE

Should I change OMHOSTNAME?

There's no info whatsoever about how to add mod_AJP/mod_proxy in /etc/opt/scalix :? :?:

The DNS works, from anywhere I can reach www.kejpa.com

TIA

Sorry, I meant /etc/opt/scalix-tomcat, actually.

There's no information there either :(
I changed "instance-mandrake.conf" both in ajp and jk dirs from

Code: Select all

<VirtualHost mandrake.kejpa.com:80>

to

Code: Select all

<VirtualHost *:80>

and after restarting I now can access the webmail from computers in my localnet by using mandrake/webmail, but still not using www.kejpa.com/webmail

Very confused!

Does mandrake.domain.com and www.domain.com point to the same IP address in DNS? And is this the IP address of the Scalix server?

There's no entry for mandrake.kejpa.com in the public DNS, but it's the same computer as www.kejpa.com and the same as the Scalix server.

Then change <VirtualHost mandrake.kejpa.com:80> to <VirtualHost www.kejpa.com:80> and see if that works (after restarting apache)

Yup!
Then www.kejpa.com/webmail works. At least from my local nets :)

I'll be back if it fails from outside my house.

Thank you very much!
