I don't even know if I said that correctly but my old server was able to login into
squirrelamail w/o having to type in /squirrelmail. My host switched it from /squirrelmail to /webmail2.

This is another box I just got so the new providers "need instructions" on how to do it. I'm starting to not like my new host. They can't do the simplest things without asking for instructions? Simple (hard things for me) things like installing php5 as cgi, recompiling GD with extra features, ditching pop3 for dovecot and etc...- all need instructions! I thought this stuff was supposed to be easy for "system admins". I guess not.

Anywho, if anyone knows how to do it, let me know! thankx
 
a simple way to do it would be to make a php script to forward to the url from when you key in /webmail2.

personally I dont many complaints about changing the url. but if anyone does know about changing this, I too would like to know.

Many ISP do their support with there third-party aka provider. that could be the reason why some times they dont know the "simplest of things". I know some things but not everything, we all learn new things each day so go easy on us :)

but yes on a serious note we should known the common things like how ftp works etc, etc.
 
Well with my previous host, they were good with the servers. Knew everything and didnt necessarily need "instructions" on doing something.

php script isn't efficient- i dont think because you'll have to have one on every domain I assume?

ah yes you have a good point their. sorry I thought you ment it was for your use only and on the one domain. I didnt think you were after the "what type of file do I edit on a dedicated box to get this link to work for everyone". would be useful to know if anyone has info on it......
 
PHP: 
#Start DirectAdmin Settings
Alias /config /var/www/html/redirect.php
Alias /phpMyAdmin /var/www/html/phpMyAdmin/
Alias /phpmyadmin /var/www/html/phpMyAdmin/
Alias /webmail2 /var/www/html/squirrelmail/

Yeah, I figured it out when I was snooping around looking at the httpd.conf file via the CP from my old box.

/webmail2 is what you type in after your domain. Now that we all know how to do it, cheers!

BTW- I replied to my new host: "you could of just said you didn't know how to do it". They needed "detailed" instructions to do what I did above in less then two minutes. O well.
