Webmail redirects to defaultwebpage.cgi after easyapache upgrade

[LordLiverpool]

Hello cPanel

Today I upgraded EasyApache3 to EasyApache4.

Then one of my customers said their Webmail was inaccessible.

A coincidence????

http://webmail.domain.tld

is redirecting to

http://webmail.domain.tld/cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi

Email is accessible via WHM > cPanel
Email is accessible via the 2096 port i.e: nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn:2096.

I've checked it's the same for all domains on my VPS.
I've checked the DNS zones, they're all appear to be unaltered.
I've tried restarting Apache.
I've tried gracefully rebooting my VPS.

But the issue persists.

Can anyone please help?

What happens when you go to domain.com/webmail?

 

[LordLiverpool]

Bingo! It works!!!

domain.com/webmail redirects to domain.com:2096 (I can live with that.)

What's important is I can see the Webmail Login and I can login and access the email.

Thank you very much.

Back to business then.

When I saw your suggestion, this was my reaction:

It is Friday though, so there's that.

Hello,

This is likely related to the use of a custom Apache template. You can look for files named .local in the following directory to see if that's the case on your system:

/var/cpanel/templates/apache2_4/

You may want to remove or move the .local files in this directory out of the way until you have a chance to compare them with the updated default templates stored in this directory. Once you do that, you can run "/scripts/rebuildhttpdconf" and access to webmail.domain.tld should work again.

Thank you.

@cPanelMichael

Thanks for replying!

I looked in /var/cpanel/templates/apache2_4/

But couldn't see any .local files (see screenshot below)

I also looked in apache1, apache2, dovecot2.2 and dovecotSNI but there were no .local files in them either.

Cheers

Hello,

You may also want to browse to the "Domains" tab in "WHM >> Tweak Settings" to verify the "Proxy Subdomains" feature is enabled. If so, and if the issue persists, feel free to open a support ticket using the link in my signature so we can take a closer look.

Thank you.

@cPanelMichael

Once again thanks for replying, I'm grateful for your help.

OK so I tweaked subdomains as you told me:



Now when I goto: domain.tld/webmail for a split second I see this screen, before the usual webmail login screen:



However if I go to webmail.domain.tld then I don't see the extra screen.

Any ideas why?

Cheers.

Hello,

That is the "Connection Selection" page. It will appear to visitors who navigate to a site that is experiencing a connection or firewall problem (ports 2095 or 2096). It doesn't happen when using the proxy subdomain URL because proxy subdomains use ports 80 or 443.

Thank you.
