SquirrelMail

[alexrose]

Hello,

I bought a VPS that is using plesk and for webmail is installed horde.
But i want to use SquirrelMail.
So, can anyone help me to install SquirrelMail ?

Other questions would be:
- remove horde or keep both?
- from what url would be SquirrelMail accesible? i can access horde from; http://webmail.domain.tld for all my domains. Can this be done also for SquirrelMail ??

Thanks.


PS: The OS is RH
Linux version 2.6.9-023stab046.2-smp (root@rhel4-32) (gcc version 3.4.5 20051201 (Red Hat 3.4.5-2)) #1 SMP Mon Dec 10 15:07:07 MSK 2007

You can just yum install squirrelmail and configure it to work with the local Courier IMAP server (/usr/share/squirrelmail/config/conf.pl).

If you want to be able to access squirrelmail at webmail.domain.tld you'll have to hack up Plesk's config files. We use a global /webmail alias in apache ourselves, so we are not touching Plesk. Works just fine.

Oh right, RHEL on a VPS. Well, you can probably install yum. Or does it have up2date (you never know with those virtual servers)? You can also just get the rpm or install from source. Just make sure you keep it up to date somehow.

You can add an alias to your apache configuration (for instance by creating a new .conf file in /etc/httpd/conf.d/) like this: Alias /webmail /path/to/squirrelmail. You could also just put this in your httpd.conf, but I think the modular way of adding .conf files in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ is easier to maintain.

Also see the mod_alias docs.
