Dear friends,

I can't seem to get webmail access externally working.

From local simply http://localip/webmail is working fine.
But from external, what are the settings i need to edit ?

I read from some other thread, there are some settings in /etc/opt/scalix-tomcat/connector/ajp/app-symail1.webmail.conf
ProxyPass /webmail ajp://localip:8009/webmail
ProxyPass /webmail ajp://externalip:8009/webmail

and in,
/etc/opt/scalix-tomcat/connector/jk/app-symail1.webmail.conf
JkMount /webmail* localip
JkMount /webmail* externalip

service scalix restart,

it doesnt work....

just wondering what are the minimal configuration to change to enable external access of webmail, i cant find the documentation else wher.e...
pls assist to advice...thanks for taking time helping..







i need the webmail to be accessible internally and externally, then i tried to add another line for external IP:

It should be as simple as this....

modify the following two files:

/etc/opt/scalix-tomcat/connector/ajp/instance-symail1.conf
/etc/opt/scalix-tomcat/connector/jk/instance-symail1.conf

Change the Virtual Host definitions in both to listen on all ports...

<VirtualHost *:80>

and if you want ssl and its defined in the files

<VirtualHost *:443>

save the changes and restart the tomcat service.

service scalix-tomcat restart

You should then be able to access via external ip (assuming you've allowed access through firewall or port forward etc)
