Unable to Customize the SWA Login Page

[stevemurphy]

I just upgraded to Scalix 10 today and followed the instructions to set up the custom webmail login page, but cannot get it to work.

It looks like a critical step is missing in the instructions. Has anyone figured out what step 9 is in swa_custom_login.tgz?

I looked at the html for these sample login files and noted that whenever they referenced files it started with /webmail/file.blah so I assumed these files have to be placed in the very root of the website. For me this is var/www/html

All of them work fine from here, so for example I can now launch (phoney domain name for instruction purposes) www.coolestwebmail.com/default.html and that custom login works fine. Interestingly though if I renamed it to index.html like instructed it would not launch as the default page when you go to www.coolestwebmail.com. I was able to get around this by renaming the file index.php now when users go to www.coolestwebmail.com they only see my custom login with *no* trailing /webmail in the browser address!

Thanks very much, Signor Dude, for your assistance. What you prescribed worked perfectly. Placed the modified "index.html" file (actually used the "default.html" from the admin kit and renamed it) in the /var/www/html directory. I then placed my company's logo gifs in the /opt/tomcat-scalix/webapps/webmail/img directory. Presto, we now have our own login page.
