SquirlMail Problem

[mmills]

I have setup a small web server that will host mabye 3-5 sites.
I have it running but I cant login to the squirlmail via password, I get an error.

login (http://indyhost.uni.cc/webmail/src/login.php)

I setup a demo account:

demo

demo123

I have port 143 open for this service, do you have to have pop and smtp open aswell?

[knute]

Are you setting this up for pop or imap?

According to the error, it's looking to connect to port 110. The timeout is most likely because you either haven't told your firewall to open that port, or you have yet to restart your firewall.

Since you want to use 143, I would suggest that your squirrelmail config is not set up correctly.

From a quick perusal of squirrelmail's website, in the config director there's a perl script calld conf.pl, that's the recommended way of configuring squirrelmail. My guess is that there's a default port number in there somewhere that you may need to change.

Another option is (that if you are running squirrelmail on an apache server), that your server isn't routing the login requests properly. (IE: port 110 rather than 143.)

HTH

hmm, well, I had pop3 on my router for 110 and IMAP for 143, at one time they were both open. I dont have a firewall present, just a d-link router, so Im not sure what the issue is, I didnt have php enabled, and I changed that, so Im not sure what the issue is, im thinking its port related, becuse I can get to the login screen.

I downloaded this centOS (http://www.nuonce.net/bq-cd.php) ISO and loaded it this morning and then installed this (http://ns2.solarspeed.net/downloads/BQ-5102R-Squirrelmail-1.43a.pkg) squirlmail package. since everything is running off the interface, Im looking for some direction on this, I found the new current version on BlueQuartz Server and ran with it.

The only other issue I have is that I loaded my index and images to the web directory and now I cant seem to find it via the web.

When I try to login with the link you gave and the demo account, the message that I get is:
Error connecting to IMAP server: localhost.
110 : Connection timed out

So the login is looking for your actual server to be running on port 110 rather than port 143. So then it's a misconfiguration somewhere.

Where exactly did you put them? Does that location match the Apache configuration file (I know, simple question, but it has to be asked:)).

Just in quickly scanning back over this thread, the phrase d-link router popped out at me. Might wanna check your router configs as well.

[mmills]

Ok, 1st, my d-link router is set up like this

port 110, 143,80, 25,443, enable to 192.168.0.199

and the whole where is was loaded to Im not sure, take a look at this (http://bluequartz.org/docs/fc1kit/bqwizard.html) , this is the fedora version, but the interface is the same

[mmills]

also, just to make sure my stuff was talking, I did a security run on all my ports, and they all talked back via "telnet". so all the services are talking properly.

So im thinking it has to be software, Im about an inch from ripping out the squirlmail and looking for something that supported by the software vendor.

I setup squirrelmail with courier-imap, everything references localhost, all that is open is port 80 for the web interface. No other config changes needed (besides editing the php to do stuff to teh username entered before passign it off to authentication for the way i create my users). Used default debian configs, just apt-get install squirrelmail php4 courier-imap

[mmills]

the OS is centOS, the webadmin is bluequartz, and unless I ream my system, that wont work, unless I am unaware of a way of making that work. :rolleyes:

[mmills]

well I found that there is a issue behind this problem, I can telnet into the ports, and send email via telnet but I cannot connect properly, so I will rework the system and post a new thread if I have anymore issues.

thanks for the support guys. :p
