Thread: To make roundcube-webmail to work

Hi folks,


Ubuntu 7.04 server amd64
webmin
usermin


I have roundcube-webmail running here but can't make it to work.


I found following howto;
RoundCube Webmail On Your ISPConfig Server Within 10 Easy Steps | HowtoForge - Linux Howtos and Tutorials

It requires ISPConfig to perfom Step-1.


However ISPConfig is conflict with Webmin. They are doing the same job.

Is there any way to complete Step-1 without ISPConfig? TIA


TIA


Remark: I'm running Linux users NOT virtual users

YOu don't need ISP Config - whatever that is

If you read some proper documentation on roundcube you'll be fine

What exactly are you trying to do on this server anyway??

Any Particular reason you're going with RoundCube ?

As its V0.1rc2 I'd be steering clear of it for the moment unless its for local testing.

No special reason. Some folks on Internet fourms recommend it. Also I'm interested on testing something new.

sudo apt-cache search roundcube

I installed one on one of my servers using apt and all I had to do then was just read the READMEs etc.,

It works fine, though it's not the fastest if you have a large IMAP directory / mailbox

I installed one on one of my servers using apt and all I had to do then was just read the READMEs etc.,

It works fine, though it's not the fastest if you have a large IMAP directory / mailbox

On the repo here I found only;

$ apt-cache search roundcube

Code:

roundcube-webmail - A browser-based multilingual AJAX-powered IMAP client

Therefore installed;

$ apt-cache policy roundcube-webmail

Code:

roundcube-webmail:

        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

But I can't start roundcube-webmail with;
https://localhost/roundcube-webmail

hanging there prolonged time.


https://domain.com/roundcube-webmail

Code:

Security Error: Domain Name Mismatch

The certificate belongs to "localhost". To change its owner? If YES, how to make it? Thanks.


Clicked [OK]

Code:

Error No. 1f4)

I don't know how to proceed further.


I don't have IMAP here but have;
$ apt-cache policy courier-imap

Code:
