Enabling web tools

Invalid language file

cd /var/www/mail/cgi-bin/vqadmin/html

e.g.: cp de de-de

but be aware!

some browsers have set e.g. "de-DE" (the second "DE" is UPPERcase!)

so you have to cp de de-DE

You may get

Invalid language file

error if your browser uses a default language encoding other than the ones that are supported by vqadmin. The quick solution is to copy one of the language files with a new name.

Example:

assume your vqadmin is installed in /var/www/mail/cgi-bin/vqadmin/

than you can do

cd /var/www/mail/cgi-bin/vqadmin/html

cp en tr

that solved my problem with Turkish encoding.

Thanks for the greate site.

What is the default User Account , Domain Name and Password for qmailadmin ?? After this process ??

To secure the documentroot directory i add this in the vhost configuration :

        <Directory /var/www/mail/>
                deny from all
                Options -Indexes ExecCGI
                AllowOverride All
                Order deny,allow
        </Directory>

In All directory definition in the Vhost configuration i add :

-Indexes in Options command.

>In your instruction what FQDN do you use to access the webmail interface?  mailadmin.yourdomain.tld/webmail

Refer to http://qmailrocks.thibs.com/roundcubemail.php for the webmail part

>Why do you suggest the hostname be different from the mailadmin.yourdomain.tld?

It's to avoid changing the default apache configuration. I just make the changes into a virtual host

Thanks. 

 In your instruction what FQDN do you use to access the webmail interface?  mailadmin.yourdomain.tld/webmail

Why do you suggest the hostname be different from the mailadmin.yourdomain.tld?

If you are not able to add a new domain in vqadmin , try tail -n 20 /var/log/apache2/mailadmin.yourdomain.tld-error.log

If you see something like "Warning: Failed to delete dir_control for yourdomain.tld" then check your mysql connection settings in /home/vpopmail/etc/vpopmail.mysql

Hello Omur,

First of all thanks you for your feedback ! I'm currently adapting this guide with some of your suggestions.

For your problem, did you follow this instruction :

You first need to create appropriate name record in your DNS system. I advice you to create mailadmin.yourdomain.tld pointing to your server IP.

Then, create a virtual host corresponding to this new name record. Create the file /etc/apache2/sites-available/mailadmin.yourdomain.tld as following :

Normally with the instruction

DocumentRoot /var/www/mail

in the the vhost, you do not need to put "mail" in your URL.

and with the instruction

Options ExecCGI

within Directory /var/www/mail/cgi-bin/ the cgi should execute instead of download

Please note that mailadmin.yourdomain.tld could not be your server name because the default apache debian package has special instruction. It should be another name for the same server

There's a problem here, or I've missed something.

First;

http://mailadmin.yourdomain.tld/cgi-bin/vqadmin/vqadmin.cgi

gives error, I've changed it to /mail/cgi-bin/vqadmin/vqadmin.cgi

but my browser now trying to download vqadmin.cgi file instead of opening it on browser. Now I'm stuck on this page.
