Hi

I would like to have RoundCube webmailer on my server. but I want to have it accessible over mail.customer.domain or www.customer.domain/webmailer.

Anybody any hints on how to do this? Please be detailed, my knowledge about the httpd.conf is somewhere in between amateur and intermediate...

Thanks in advance

Martin

maybe my post here will help
http://forums.gplhost.com/phpBB2/simple-sub-domain-question-vt1596.html?highlight=

for existing domains just drop the .htaccess into '/var/www/sites/'username'/'domainname'/subdomains/www/html/

and of course, if the site already has a .htaccess just append

Hi

I already saw the post. But what I want to achieve is having roundcube in one directory let's say /var/www/roundcube.

And I want it for every domain to be accessible by:

http://www.dom1.ch/roundcube
http://www.dom2.ch/roundcube
http://www.dom3.ch/roundcube

or

http://roundcube.dom1.ch
http://roundcube.dom2.ch
http://roundcube.dom3.ch

I'm not that good at apache conf to achieve this. DNS is no problem, but the apache conf makes me go mad...

Well, I really think that you MUST read the apache doc and understand it. Running a control panel doesn't mean that you should forget about any administration knowledge.

However, I have noted that so many people are asking for that /webmail link everywhere. I think I will add such functionality in the control panel for the next version.

Hi

that would be so great.

I know how to configure Apache by hand - for most cases. In some specialized cases like this one I just can't get through howto configure something like that...
This question, eventhough it will be a feature now, is actually off-topic in this forum. But I wanted to give it a try

There you go, I have added the option in our Git. Update to the latest Git and you will have such option. By default /webmail should be redirecting to roundcube (as roundcube is pulled by default by dtc-toaster), and you can change this to use squirrelmail instead.

Just wanted to add. If you want to set it as global in your apache.conf without upgrading to the latest Git, the following directive should be ok:

Code:

RedirectPermanent /webmail https://dtc.example.com/roundcube

I have found that the packaged version of roundcube does not really meet the needs that we have - in particular using 0.2 beta roundcube and language customizations. But has been quite simple:

Go to the DTC Admin Panel, General Config, Paths, and add /var/www/webmail or whatever to the path

Then make one file /etc/apache2/conf.d/roundcube.conf

Code:

Alias /webmail/   /var/www/webmail/ <Directory "/var/www/webmail/">         Options Indexes MultiViews         AllowOverride All         Order allow,deny         Allow from all         php_value magic_quotes_gpc 0 </Directory>

Then restart apache and every domain would have /webmail pointing to a shared roundcube installation.

Which is a totally lame way of doing things because it's not using SSL, so all email passwords are sent in clear text. You'd rather set global redirection to the dtc.example.com/roundcube ...

Well... For us our customers object far more to having to use anything under any other domain other than their own to submitting passwords in cleartext... so the only options come down to use of individual ports, frames, ...

For anyone else - that's up to him/her...

[gplhost]

Individual ports is doable. Frames are not an option, this will break lot's of browsers to have an HTTPS frame/iframe while the rest of the page is in HTTP.

Anyway, please reconsider: security is a LOT more important than just using their own domain...
