/webmail directly to webmail

Find this in your httpd.conf file (Located here: /usr/local/apache/conf/)

Code:

ScriptAlias /webmail /usr/local/cpanel/base/wredirect.cgi
ScriptAliasMatch ^/webmail/(.*) /usr/local/cpanel/base/wredirect.cgi
ScriptAlias /mail /usr/local/cpanel/base/wredirect.cgi
ScriptAliasMatch ^/mail/(.*) /usr/local/cpanel/base/wredirect.cgi

Comment all that out with pound signs before the lines (#) and then add these lines underneath that stuff...

Code:

##  NEW Squirrelmail Links
Alias /webmail /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail/
Alias /mail /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail/

## NEW Squirrelmail admin panel (old cpanel redirect page)
ScriptAlias /epanel /usr/local/cpanel/base/wredirect.cgi
ScriptAliasMatch ^/epanel/(.*) /usr/local/cpanel/base/wredirect.cgi

Then write out (ctrl^O) and then you'll have to restart apache to pull in the new changes. Type this:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart


Now log into your WHM and uncheck squirrelmail, horde, neomail, in "edit setup". This will turn it off so that once they're in there they can't go back to the webmail and get screwed up.
So the code in httpd.confbasically changes your old /webmail link to /epanel (you can change the epanel to whatever you want). So it makes the /epanel link goto the cpanel redirect page that will just have the password change thing, boxtrapper, autoresponder, and forwarder.
And your domain/webmail and the /mail (if you added both of them) will goto the squirrelmail directory instead of the cpanel redirect page.

Now.. in order for your clients to have access to change their email and stuff you'll have to find a way to give them access to the /epanel - the cpanel redirect page.

What I did, was reinstall squirrelmail into a new directory so that upcp doesnt overwrite it, and I modded squirrelmail to have an 'administrative' link to the /epanel so they could use all that. But thats up to you...

Would this still work with:

WHM 10.0.0 cPanel 10.0.0-R146
RedHat Enterprise 3 i686 - WHM X v3.1.0


And if so, would it be overwritten when Cpanel is updated?


Thanks,

I tried this on my box but I got an error as per the domains not having the SquirrelMail file path's in their allowed paths list. Did anyone fix this in the new WHM?


Thanks,

Mail Management Login and Menu user personalization...

Hi,

Any1 have any tip about personalizing both login and menu pages of Mail
Management/Webmail ?

I found at this site the login page, but couldnt find if there´s any hidden option...
such as .. open only /horde/ after login.

I´m a CPanel user, not an administrator.

I read your instructions, but i´m looking for a solution at the client side or with minimum
interaction of my ISP administrator.

 

Permissions for this alias

I know this is an old thread, but I tried to do what was suggested here and I end up with the following error when going to http://mydomain/webmail

>>>
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /webmail on this server.
>>>

I am not running phpsuexec,

I have looked and looked for something that may be preventing this from running.

Anyone have any ideas what could cause this? or how to fix it?

Thanks,
mb
