Topic: No/wrong web server installed/running

==== Required information ====
- iRedMail version (check /etc/iredmail-release): 0.9.4
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: Centos 7
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL): mariadb
- Web server (Apache or Nginx): nginx

- Related log if you're reporting an issue:
====

Fresh install today on new cents vps.

I selected nginx during installation. Nginx wasn't installed, apache was. Apache wasn't started so none of th links work, /mail, /iredadmin. So I start apache and links still do not work. Checking apache access and error show nothing when I try to access the links.

What to do now.

Could you please check file "iRedMail-0.9.4/config", what's the value of parameters below?

export WEB_SERVER_IS_NGINX='YES'
export WEB_SERVER_IS_APACHE='NO'

Re: No/wrong web server installed/running

They are like this:

export WEB_SERVER_IS_NGINX='YES'
export WEB_SERVER_IS_APACHE='NO'

========

nginx -v
bash: nginx: command not found

Re: No/wrong web server installed/running

Why no "epel" yum repo? It's enabled by iRedMail by default, and nginx is available in EPEL repo.

Why does it show "Enterprise Linux 5"?

Could you please show us whole content in file /etc/redhat-release?

Re: No/wrong web server installed/running

Install said no epel and it wouldn't proceed until it was removed.
The new relic uses same install for Centos7 and RedHat Ent., it's just a label.
/etc/redhat-release = "CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core)"

Try again with updates sources list?  What exactly should be in the sources list to get the install to work?

Re: No/wrong web server installed/running

Try this:

*) Install CentOS 7 with minimal packages. But ssh is required.
*) Follow iRedMail installation guide to install iRedMail-0.9.4:
http://www.iredmail.org/docs/install.ir … .rhel.html

I can't install with minimal packages, all I can do it pick the OS and version. It's either failing from the sources list, which the instructions don't say what they should be or it's the networking info right at the beginning of installation docs (below).

Epel is in sources list by default. Installation won't proceed with it in there so I remove it. But you're saying install needs it for nginx.

What does this mean?
127.0.0.1   mx.example.com mx localhost localhost.localdomain
So I put the VPS ip in there or leave all as is except replace the "mx.example.com mx" with my info?

Re: No/wrong web server installed/running

Can't add email alias in the admin area?  $500 for the pro version?  Going to be not using this I guess. At this price it's multiples more than cPanel or Pleask annually which provide a lot more value and features. Was a waste of time I guess I should have checked the very limited features of the free version. Thanks anyway.

You can create it with sql command line tool by following this tutorial:
http://www.iredmail.org/docs/sql.create.mail.alias.html

And needless to say, you always have the right to choose the one you prefer. Good luck. smile
