mail.domain.com = test page for ssl/tls-aware Apache

[robj]

I'm going to assume that the follow should not be displaying when I type mail.MYDOMAIN.com

Hey, it worked !
The SSL/TLS-aware Apache webserver was
successfully installed on this website.

If you can see this page, then the people who own this website have just installed the Apache Web server software and the Apache Interface to OpenSSL (mod_ssl) successfully...

How can I change mail.MYDOMAIN.com to redirect to squirrelmail or even a static page?

Thanks

You can use a virtual host like this in httpd.conf

<VirtualHost YOUR-IP:80>
    ServerAdmin [email protected]
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/squirrelmail
    ServerName webmail.yourdomain.com
    ServerAlias webmail.* mail.*
    ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/error_log
</VirtualHost>

Also can follow this:

Thanks for the help chatwizrd.

I have next to NO experience with apache, but will attempt both suggestions later tonight, then report back.

Here's a quick question that the tutorial doesn't make clear. Do i edit the virtual_host2.conf file? or the virtual_host.conf file? Or does it matter?

Secondly, should I add this:

<VirtualHost YOUR-IP:80>
    ServerAdmin [email protected]
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/squirrelmail
    ServerName webmail.yourdomain.com
    ServerAlias webmail.* mail.*
    ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/error_log
</VirtualHost>

to the user admin httd.conf. Or should this be added to /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf?

thanks

I misunderstood the process. I got it working a few days ago.

Revisited.

I did this awhile back and it doesn't seem to be carrying over to new domains. It worked for awhile, but not anymore.

I added a domain as an ADMIN, but mail.domain.com doesn't seem to work. Does this only apply changes to new users? new domains?

DirectAdmin doesn't create websites for anything but the website you've set up, and the website you've set up with a www leadin.

For anything else you're entirely on your own.

The instructions given were for how to it. It'll have to be done for every domain.

Or you can remove all of those you've already set up, and move the user-level htpd.conf file to the custom directory and then edit it to add the mail alias. Then when you add new domains, and rewrite old ones, the mail alias will visit the site mainpage.

To have it redirect to squirrelmail you should add to the user-level httpd.conf file (in the custom directory) a copy of what the instructions show, but modified to work for any domain.
