Need help: Redirection - webserer and mailserver (webmail)
|
|
| Robertico 2005-03-22, 6:12 pm |
| Hi,
I'am running a webserver on FreeBSD and Apache2. I'am also running a
mailserver with Squirrel webmail.
Now i want to redirect http://mail.mydomain.nl to
https://www.mydomain.nl/webmail/login.php.
(www.mydomain.nl is my normal website.)
Undermentioned modifications of my httpd.conf file didn't do the job.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName mail.mydomain.nl
ServerAdmin robertico@mydomain.nl
Documentroot /usr/local/www/data/webmail
Redirect / https://www.mydomain.nl/webmail
</VirtualHost>
Or maybe there is a better solution to redirect mail.mydomain.nl to my
webmail login.php.
Please some advice.

Well, it's correct (besides the fact that if you have a Redirect / the
DocumentRoot directive doesn't have any sense). What kind of error or
problem do you obtain? Did you restarted the server after the modification?
What apachectl configtest return?

Even www.mydomain.nl redirects to https://www.mydomain.nl/webmail/login.php
and not only mail.mydomain.nl.

Yes

Syntax OK

That make me think that 'mail.mydomain.nl' is the first VirtualHost defined
in your file. When Apache can't understand for sure which VHost you want
he gets the first one in the list.
Now, there are many reasons why Apache could get confused, the first
is because you are connecting trought a proxy that mangle the request,
the second is that you have mixed IP addresses and not-ip-addresses
defined VHost (like NameVirtualHost ip.address.here and then using
* in the Vhost definition).

I have only one VirtualHost, as defined in my first post.

No
I have this also in my httpd.conf:
Alias /webmail "/usr/local/www/data/webmail"
<Directory "/usr/local/www/data/webmail">
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
AllowOverride None
Options FollowSymLinks
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

Yep right, I already tried this using the following:
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
NameVirtualHost 10.0.0.10
#
<VirtualHost www.mydomain.nl:80>
ServerName www.mydomain.nl
ServerAdmin robertico@mydomain.nl
Documentroot /usr/local/www/data/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost mail.mydomain.nl:443>
ServerName mail.mydomain.nl
ServerAdmin robertico@mydomain.nl
Documentroot /usr/local/www/data/webmail
Redirect / https://www.mydomain.nl/webmail
</VirtualHost>
With the following error message:
[error] VirtualHost www.mydomain.nl:80 -- mixing * ports and non-* ports
with a NameVirtualHost address is not supported, proceeding with undefined
results
And without the specified ports it doesn't work.

Don't use IP. If you use NameVirtualHost (name based) use *.
> <VirtualHost www.mydomain.nl:80>
Ditto. You already specified the server name in the block, so use *:80
> <VirtualHost mail.mydomain.nl:443>
Ditto. And if you use port 443 you need to enable SSL or you'll
receive errors related to the use of HTTP over HTTPS.

Can you write the exact syntax for my VirtualHosts based on my previous
post.
I still received errors from Apache (even when i changed it as you advised).
I have enabled SSL. Linking from www.mydomain.nl to my webmail and log-in is
not a problem.

Something like...

NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.mydomain.nl
ServerAdmin robertico@mydomain.nl
Documentroot /usr/local/www/data/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName mail.mydomain.nl
ServerAdmin robertico@mydomain.nl
Redirect / https://www.mydomain.nl/webmail
</VirtualHost>
Note: I removed the 'DocumentRoot' option in the mail.mydomain.nl since
you're redirecting the whole thing to another 'server' (running https).
So you don't need the DocumentRoot directive after all.
Note2: this is based on the idea that SOMEWHERE you are also defining
SSL support and have another <VirtualHost> defined to handle https
on port 443.

Well, if you have only ONE virtualhost, that will be used anytime,
no matter what you require. You need at least two Vhost, one for
the 'webmail' and one for the 'normal' website.
