Howtoforge Debian prefect server ispconfig 3 - point /webmail to whole domain

[alogoC]

It's a very nice and useful tutorial...though i want to make my squirremail point to whole domain!

Example:

mail.mydomain.com/webmail

To be :

mail.mydomain.com

It's not very handy to have to put the /webmail in the end.I think it has to do with apache2 configuration...but i am a bit newbie to do it myself :o

If anyone could help...thanks! :)

look under /etc and squirrelmail/config_default.php
also when I used grep I got this;

squirrelmail/apache.conf:# users will prefer a simple URL like http://webmail.example.com
squirrelmail/apache.conf:# ServerName webmail.example.com
squirrelmail/conf.pl: print "Examples:\nhttp://webmail.example.org\nhttp://webmail.example.com:8080\nhttps://webmail.example.com:6691\n\n";


so I assume it is in the file /etc/squirrelmail/apache.conf

not sure tho I am a noob as well.
good luck.

PS Always make a backup copy of the files you want to edit (first) and put them in your home directory for safe keeping.

Good Luck!


(but just thinking out loud):...
There are few config files like apache or httpd.conf or etc.. plus the configuration files for webmail I know you can change your ports etc, and your question is really a valid 1 and I think it is related to your web services settings, cuz I have seen it happen before where you didnt not have to point to /webmail/ or whatever...
this is really the way the web stuff is set up, they usually point to /var/www/ as the "root" drive, so may be changing directories would help? ( did that once but it did not work? again I am sure there is a config file some place where you can edit so it points to another folder (of the web stuff) as the root.


BTW, sometimes your browser takes stuff out of the cache , I am not saying that is whats happening but sometimes it happens and refreshing (F5) does not help!
anyway sorry I could not help you.
