Webmail

Hi Guys,
I have installed ISPCONFIG3 in Debian 5 Lenny and it is working fine. But web-mail returns an error 404 . Please give me helping hand to solve this issue. Thanks in advance.

 

Is any body to help ?

 

What url?

Hello jacksmerv,

What is the url you are accessing your webmail from?
Did you follow the Perfect Debian setup guide for the install?
What webmail client are you using?
Have you created the Symlink to your webmail client to the /var/www/webmail dir?

Webmail is pretty easy to setup and you should be able to access it right away using the Perfect setup guide.
Please provide the above info and we will go from there.

 

ln -s /usr/share/squirrelmail/ /var/www/webmail

is linked

it was working during the installation after ispconfig it is not working it gives 404 error

 

what adress are you typing when you try to access to your webmail ?

xx.xxx.xxx.xxx/webmail ?

<yourdomain.com>/webmail ?

something else ?

 

i have tried with IP and also with mydomain name/webmail. It gives the 404 error

 

Ok so we know its linked.

What about the permissions and owner on the webmail dir?
Code:

Code:

# cd /var/www; ls -alh

And for squirrelmail
Code:

Code:

# cd /usr/share; ls -alh

Also are there any errors in your apache error log about this?
Code:

Code:

# tail /var/log/apache2/error.log

 

try also

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

and tell us is any error is displayed.

 

# cd /var/www; ls -alh
