SWA Logo Modification in Scalix 10

[jpkovacic]

I've installed Scalix 10 (upgrade from 9.4.2) for my company's Enterprise E-mail system. I've been asked to change the Scalix logo to my company's logo on the SWA login page. Another forum posting specified that this could be changed via the "index.jsp" in the tomcat /webapps/webmail directory. However, I was unable to locate this file in that directory of Scalix's tomcat version (/opt/scalix-tomcat). Is there a different approach that needs to be taken for SWA logo modification in Version 10? Is the index.jsp file located somewhere different with the "scalix-tomcat" version?

Thanks,
Joe K

The file /opt/scalix-tomcat/webapps/webmail/WEB-INF/web.xml contains a section marked <welcome-file-list>.

To use index.html or index.htm as the default page, you need to change it to read:

Code: Select all

<welcome-file-list>
  <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
  <welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
  <welcome-file>index.htm</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>

and restart tomcat with

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/scalix-tomcat restart

Where would be index.html or index.htm located after restarting tomcat.
Also the following line:
<welcome-file>index.htmls</welcome-file>
shouldn't it be:
<welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>

And finally how/where is /webmail alias created?
I don't think that posting the custom 'index.html' in DocumentRoot is the greatest idea, it's a patch of the problem not a solution, and what if we run other stuff then Scalix only under Apache?

Any comments /suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I had already edited htmls to read html before you posted.

index.html should be placed in /opt/scalix-tomcat/webapps/webmail

I assumed that still when it's posted in:
/opt/scalix-tomcat/webapps/webmail
the index.html is not disolayed it picks up the old one after restarting tomcat of course.
here are the files:

/opt/scalix-tomcat/webapps/webmail

Any suggestions?

I made a slight mistake. The web.xml file needs to be order-specific so, you need to move the index.jsp line to below the index.htm/l lines and restart tomcat. Everything should work.

This time it works, thanks for your help.
BTW where is the configuration for that alias /webmail, since we don't want to run apache on port 80 (http) but 443 (https) only it will be nice to know the specifics for that alias.
Thanks again.

As this post is being referenced in response to the same question from other users, I need to add the following caveat.

If you upgrade or re-install SWA for any reason, the modifications you make to index.html and web.xml will not be retained.

So, prior to an update of any sort, please take a copy of those files and make the changes again once the update has completed successfully.

Cheers

I guess a lot of things have been changed with new version. The directory structure has changed considerably and I guess some XML files also changed. I can't find "<welcome-file-list>" in web.xml file. Could someone write down how to change Scalix logo to the company logo please? Thanks in advance...

Hi yuceli:

The SWA path changes in version 11. Look for web.xml in

Code: Select all

/var/opt/scalix/XX/tomcat/webapps/webmail/WEB-INF

where XX = the name of the Scalix instance, which defaults to the first and last letter of the host name. Then specify your custom login page at the end of the file in this stanza:

Code: Select all

    <welcome-file-list>
        <welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
        <welcome-file>index.htm</welcome-file>
        <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
    </welcome-file-list>

if you use index.html inside the /webmail folder.

Here's a write up on how to change the webmail login page in the wiki that was helpful.
