webmail subdomain doesn't work

[C4talyst]

Hello,

I have a fresh install of WHM/cPanel with one domain moved to it for testing. All seems well with our implementation, however, when you try to hit webmail.example.com, we get the default cPanel Apache page that says:

Great Success !
Apache is working on your cPanel® and WHM™ Server

Anyone know what could be causing this?

This is resolved, I just needed to check the following option under "Tweak Settings":

Add proxy VirtualHost to httpd.conf to automatically redirect unconfigured cpanel, webmail, webdisk and whm subdomains to the correct port (requires mod_rewrite and mod_proxy)

It should be http://example.com/webmail OR Example Web Page instead of webmail.example.com

While not the best method for accessing webmail, webmail.example.com (which only uses port 80) is acceptable as of version 11.23 of cPanel/WHM when the aforementioned tweak setting is enabled.

1. Create an ‘A’ record for the sub-domain ‘webmail’ in the DNS zone file. It should look like :

domain.com. IN A XX.XX.XXX.XXX
localhost.domain.com. IN A 127.0.0.1
domain.com. IN MX 0 domain.com.
mail IN CNAME domain.com.
www IN CNAME domain.com.
ftp IN A XX.XX.XXX.XXX
cpanel IN XX.XX.XXX.XXX
whm IN A XX.XX.XXX.XXX
webmail IN A XX.XX.XXX.XXX
webdisk IN A XX.XX.XXX.XXX

2. Put the following code inside .htaccess in the sub-domain folder ( virtual sub-domain which doesn’t have an entry in httpd.conf

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^webmail.domain.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.webmail.domain.com$
RewriteRule ^.*$ “http\:\/\/domain\.com\/webmail” [R=301,L]
