webmail.server.example.com isn't there.

Hi folks.

I've made the mods suggested so that http://webmail.drsimon.co.nz should give a squirrel mail login, but it doesn't.

What I get is the standard

It works!

This is the default web page for this server.

The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet.

If, however, you go to http://drsimon.co.nz/webmail all is fine.

Here's my /etc/apache2/conf.d/squirrelmail.conf

Alias /squirrelmail /usr/share/squirrelmail
Alias /webmail /usr/share/squirrelmail

<Directory /usr/share/squirrelmail>
  Options FollowSymLinks
  <IfModule mod_php5.c>
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
    php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off
    php_flag track_vars On
    php_admin_flag allow_url_fopen Off
    php_value include_path .
    php_admin_value upload_tmp_dir /var/lib/squirrelmail/tmp
    php_admin_value open_basedir /usr/share/squirrelmail:/etc/squirrelmail:/var/lib/squirrelmail:/etc/hostname:/etc/mailname
    php_flag register_globals off
  </IfModule>
  <IfModule mod_dir.c>
    DirectoryIndex index.php
  </IfModule>

  # access to configtest is limited by default to prevent information leak
  <Files configtest.php>
    order deny,allow
    deny from all
    allow from 127.0.0.1
  </Files>
</Directory>

# users will prefer a simple URL like http://webmail.example.com
<VirtualHost 222.154.250.78>
  DocumentRoot /usr/share/squirrelmail
  ServerName webmail.drsimon.co.nz
</VirtualHost>

# redirect to https when available (thanks omen@descolada.dartmouth.edu)
#
#  Note: There are multiple ways to do this, and which one is suitable for
#  your site's configuration depends. Consult the apache documentation if
#  you're unsure, as this example might not work everywhere.
#
#<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
#  <IfModule mod_ssl.c>
#    <Location /squirrelmail>
#      RewriteEngine on
#      RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !^on$ [NC]
#      RewriteRule . https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}  [L]
#    </Location>
#  </IfModule>
#</IfModule>

I've obviously done something wrong somewhere but I've no idea what. I bet you have though!

Enlighten me, please.

Simon.

Can you try

<VirtualHost 222.154.250.78:80>
  DocumentRoot /usr/share/squirrelmail
  ServerName webmail.drsimon.co.nz
</VirtualHost>

in /etc/apache2/conf.d/squirrelmail.conf instead?

[Trunkles]

I inserted this

<VirtualHost 222.154.250.78:80>
  DocumentRoot /usr/share/squirrelmail
  ServerName webmail.drsimon.co.nz 
  ServerName www.webmail.drsimon.co.nz
</VirtualHost>

at the end of /etc/squirrelmail/apache.confbut to no avail. If I try http://webmail.drsimon.co.nz I get the standard Apache "It works!... no content has been added yet" screen, if I try http://www.webmail.drsimon.co.nz I get a server not found error. http://drsimon.co.nz/webmail and the www. version work fine.

Try

<VirtualHost 222.154.250.78:80>
  DocumentRoot /usr/share/squirrelmail
  ServerName webmail.drsimon.co.nz 
  ServerAlias www.webmail.drsimon.co.nz
</VirtualHost>

instead. Is the IP address correct?
