Topic: RoundCube at mail.example.com instead of mail.example.com/mail

==== Required information ====
- iRedMail version (check /etc/iredmail-release): 0.9.6
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: Debian 8
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL): MySQL
- Web server (Apache or Nginx): Nginx
====

Hello

I have a question regarding whether it is possible to have RoundCube at mail.example.com instead of mail.example.com/mail, and, as I have now, still redirect people to another site if they go to example.com.

Best regards,
Frederik

Add a new web host for "mail.example.com", set its document root to Roundcube directory.

Re: RoundCube at mail.example.com instead of mail.example.com/mail

Thank you for the fast answer.

I understand how to set it up now, however, I am not able to find the document root for RoundCube. I used the standard installer, and I am not able to find any guidance on the default document root for RoundCube.

Do you know where I should be looking for it, because there isn't one in /var/www/html.

Best regards,
Frederik

Re: RoundCube at mail.example.com instead of mail.example.com/mail

Hello

I found the document root, however, I still can't get it to work. I have the following nginx file which should lead example.com to /var/www/html and mail.example.com to /opt/www/roundcubemail. Can anyone tell why my mail still is on mail.example.com/mail instead of mail.example.com?

Re: RoundCube at mail.example.com instead of mail.example.com/mail

Note: iRedMail generates /var/www/html/index.html with a page redirection, please open this file and check whether this is the one generated by iRedMail. You may want to rename/remove this file for testing.
