CNAME Problem Cannot redirect properly

[mohdyasar]

I have launched a new webmail system called wmail.myweb.com

i have 3 websites on the same server called
abc.com
def.com
ghi.com

I am using cpanel 11

I have created cname for wmail.abc.com to pint to wmail.myweb.com

What I want is wmail.myweb.com to be used as a standard webmail across all domains.

I tried to do that, but it actually gives me the server default page which resides on the IP of wmail.myweb.com

Can someone guide as to anything needs to be done on website wmail.myweb.com

Thanks

Put this in your apache pre include
<VirtualHost 123.123.123.123:80>
ServerName wmail.*
ServerAlias wmail.*
ProxyPass / http://wmail.myweb.com/
ProxyPassReverse / http://wmail.myweb.com/
</VirtualHost>


or


<VirtualHost 123.123.123.123:80>
ServerName wmail.*
ServerAlias wmail.*
DocumentRoot /home/username/public_html
</VirtualHost>

changing the documentroot to the webmail location on your server

Dear johnmigen

Thanks for your reply, but I did not understand the part "Put this in your apache pre include"

Do I have to put it in the httpd.conf file, simply, or something special, please advise.

Thanks

[johnmigen]

Yup, place this in your httpd.conf or for simplicity, go to your whm, under apache setup, include, preinclude. Then it will do the rest for you.

Hi

I did try it

1. If a try the following the page does not open
<VirtualHost 123.123.123.123:80>
ServerName wmail.*
ServerAlias wmail.*
ProxyPass / http://wmail.myweb.com/
ProxyPassReverse / http://wmail.myweb.com/
</VirtualHost>

2. I get internal server error when i try the below:
<VirtualHost 123.123.123.123:80>
ServerName wmail.*
ServerAlias wmail.*
DocumentRoot /home/username/public_html
</VirtualHost>

Can you suggest something

[mohdyasar]

I am doing it through WHM, does that make a difference

[johnmigen]

For 1 to work, you need to install mod_proxy

For 2, if you run suphp you might need to place additional parameters inside the virtualhost, refer to your httpd.conf for samples of virtualhost created by apache, replicate the virtualhost and make amendments to suit your requirement.

Hi

I am use suphp, I tried it does not go through can you please write me teh entry which would go with suphp, also I will not be able to install mod_proxy as well.

Please advise.

[mohdyasar]

Hi there, did you find some time, to answer my query, most appreciated if you could.

Thanks...

[johnmigen]

To install mod_proxy, you can use apache update to install. Once you are all set, then you add these entry:

<VirtualHost 123.123.123.123:80>
ServerName wmail.*
ProxyPass / http://wmail.myweb.com/
ProxyPassReverse / http://wmail.myweb.com/
<IfModule mod_suphp.c>
suPHP_UserGroup username username
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_disable_suexec.c>
User username
Group username
</IfModule>
</VirtualHost>
