Roundcube, ISPConfig, Nginx

[onastvar]

Hi,

I've decided to try roundcube instead of squirrelmail. Installed Roundcube in subfolder /webmail under domain1.com (/var/www/clients/client0/web1/web/webmail/) webmail is currently accessible via http://domain1.com/webmail/

I can login with any email account and it works fine. I'm trying to find out how can I make it available under other domains.

1) Right now I can only access webmail via http://domain1.com/webmail/
I'd like to make it accessible via http://webmail.domain1.com

2) I cannot access webmail under other domains

http://domain2.com/webmail/
http://domain3.com/webmail/
http://domain4.com/webmail/

I'm not sure how to make this work. I know it's possible. Do I need to add code to NGINX Directives under each site? Anyone have similar setup, please advise?

Thank You!

You can install roundcube using the apps vhost, so every user can access roundcube (or everything you install there) in this way:

domain1.com:8081/roundcube
domain2.com:8081/roundcube

Software installed in the apps directory /var/www/apps must be owned by the user and group ispapps

Please note that /var/www/apps is the location in debian/ubuntu and I can't assume the location in centos for example.

Another option is create the subdomain webmail for each domain and redirect it to the desired location.

Cheers!

That approach worked - Thank You Pititis!

When I go to subdomain http://webmail.mydomain.com
everything works fine as soon as RoundCube loads I see this in my URL

http://mydomain.com:8081/roundcube/index.php

How could I setup http://webmail.mydomain.com to display all the time, when I am in my webmail (roundcube)?

I'm very much interested in this too. Currently I use this nginx location:

location /webmail {
root /var/www/;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
location ~ ^/webmail/(.+\.php)$ {
try_files $uri =404;
root /var/www/;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_scrip$
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_buffer_size 128k;
fastcgi_buffers 256 4k;
fastcgi_busy_buffers_size 256k;
fastcgi_temp_file_write_size 256k;
fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
}
location ~* ^/webmail/(.+\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico|html|xml|t$
root /var/www/;
}
}

BUT I need to have a subdomain webmail pointing to /var/www/webmail for the simple reason that for most of my domains use CloudFlare (the free version which doesn't support HTTPS) and so I can't enable HTTPS for domain.tld only for i.e. webmail.domain.tld and bypass CloudFlare for that subdomain.

Any ideas on how to do this with ISPCFG3+nginx?

Create a new vhost (webmail.example.com) and add your directives to the nginx directives field. Inside the location block, you add

root /var/www/webmail;

Thanks, I created a new vhost called webmail.example.com and used this location and so far I haven't found any problems with it :-)

location / {
root /var/www/webmail/;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
location ~ ^/(.+\.php)$ {
try_files $uri =404;
root /var/www/webmail/;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_buffer_size 128k;
fastcgi_buffers 256 4k;
fastcgi_busy_buffers_size 256k;
fastcgi_temp_file_write_size 256k;
fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
}
location ~* ^/(.+\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico|html|xml|txt))$ {
root /var/www/webmail/;
}
}

Thanks! That also worked perfectly in my environment.
