Redirect question {SERVERNAME} for webmail

[Herbert]

In /root/ispconfig/isp/conf/vhost.conf.master i put this:
Redirect /webmail "https://{SERVERNAME}:81/webmail"

The problem is i get in my vhost.conf
Redirect /webmail "https://domainname.tld:80:81/webmail"

How can i get: Redirect /webmail "https://domainname.tld:81/webmail"

I don't know all the vrariables from ISPConfig, i try everything but no result.

You're editing the wrong configuration file. You should redirect your main web server to the ISPConfig server. I'm working on something similar, but still struggling with the rewrite rules, as I have a more complex setup. I require several different rewite rules, and currently they interfere.

But if someone has a good suggestion ......

Ok, but i need it also for more than 50 differend domains, a redirect to the webmail for one domain is verry simple.
Every virtualhost must have a own rewrite rule or redirect.

Why don't you put:

Redirect /webmail "https://domainname.tld:81/webmail"

in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf? That way one entry will work for all domains.

Redirect is, as is says, a redirect. It's not a proxy. It means, you need to be able to access port 81 on your client, which may well be blocked in a large corporate network..
Sometimes Internet access is restricted on such corporate networks and you want to access your webmail over a regular port 80, which is normally not closed down. Hence the reason to use rewrite/proxy and no redirect. This post still does not answer the OP

To the original post from Herbert:

There is no such variable without the part appended. If you need this variable, you will have to create your own and add it to the make_vhost function in the file /root/ispconfig/scripts/lib/config.lib.php

Ok thanks, i have done..

// Variablen zuweisen
$mod->tpl->assign( array( SERVERNAME => $servername.$web_port,
IP => $web["web_ip"].$web_port,
SERVERNAME1 => $servername,
DOCUMENTROOT => $document_root,
SERVERALIAS => $serveralias,

I get with {SERVERNAME1} the domainname without :81
In the file vhost.conf.master i put:
Redirect /webmail "https://{SERVERNAME1}:81/webmail"
Its works..
But a redirect is not good, i need i Rewrite Rule
The rewrite rule must working from http to https and nothing works.

To rewrite http to https appears to be a bad idea. I have the same route investigated yesterday, but it has lead me nowhere. Also https --> https rewrite seems to be a bad idea according to several hits I got in Google. It may lead to middleman attacks. So I have decided to run ISPConfig on a dedicated IP and modify it to run on port 80. That will also run Squirrelmail/phpMyAdmin on port 80. But remember it is SSL over port 80 .
ISPConfig will use the other IP addresses on my server. There's a thread in these forums somewhere, but it seems I'm unable to track that now.

A good suggestion is http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=157

I've had some success using http proxy stuff.

ie: say this is my URL for ispconfig: https://www.fred.com:81
I then setup a new SSL vhost ( https://www.bill.com) containing this:
SSLProxyEngine On
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass /ispconfig https://www.fred.com:81/
ProxyPassReverse /ispconfig https://www.fred.com:81/
ProxyPass /design https://www.fred.com:81/design/
ProxyPassReverse /design https://www.fred.com:81/design/
ProxyPass /squirrelmail https://www.fred.com:81/squirrelmail/
ProxyPassReverse /squirrelmail https://www.fred.com:81/squirrelmail/

Not really sure what Im doing ! - just copying something I did when setting
up ntop.

With the above set-up ispconfig seems to work just fine - ie: over port 80,
proxied to port 81. - via https://www.bill.com/ispconfig/

However the squirrelmail doesnt quite work - once I've logged in to
squirrelmail ( via https://www.bill.com/squirrelmail. ), I see my mail OK but
the URL , annoyingly , changes to :
https://www.bill.net:81/squirrelmail//src/webmail.php
ie: seems to go back to port 81.

Bit stuck now - maybe someone can take this forward ?
