Re: [SM-USERS] How to make /webmail link work ???

[Dan B. <dbo...@ss...>]

If you have FollowSymLinks turned on in your httpd.conf, you can just use Unix
symbolic links. I currently have a /squirrelmail symlink pointing to
/squirrelmail-1.4.2 (and it pointed to /squirrelmail-1.4.1,
/squirrelmail-1.4.0, and /squirrelmail-1.2.10 in the past). It makes upgrading
a breeze for me, and I can always go back to a previous version if there's
trouble. 

Also, I have a DNS alias set up (webmail and www both resolve to the same IP
address), with virtual hosting in httpd.conf:

    <VirtualHost *>
        ServerAdmin web...@ss...
        DocumentRoot /usr/global/web/squirrelmail
        Servername webmail.ssc.wisc.edu
        php_value session.gc_maxlifetime 28800
        php_value session.save_path /www/sm-sessiondata
    </VirtualHost>

So, either http://www.ssc.wisc.edu/squirrelmail or http://webmail.ssc.wisc.edu
will work for Squirrelmail.
