This is a RHEL3 machine with all updates. Installed the latest stable version using the RPM. Ran the config script but made minimal changes. When I attempt to browse I get: The connection was refused when attempting to contact my.server.name:2096 There's no firewall running. I can telnet to my imap server. Just can't get as far as a login prompt for SM. Any help much appreciated. TIA Brian |

Apache/1.3.33 dovecot-0.99.14-1.1.el3.rf RHEL3 updated to be current Nothing related shows in the mail log. In the httpd access log I get: "GET /webmail/src/configtest.php HTTP/1.1" 302 304 as a result of attempting to browse to the configtest, but nothing in the httpd error log. Nothing in the system log. I have no idea why the connection is being attempted on 2096. Where is this determined? Not much help I guess. Any idea where to look next? TIA Brian |

You're joking, right? ;) Please review your SquirrelMail configuration file by hand or by using the config/conf.pl script. Server settings including port number are contained therein. > Not much help I guess. Any idea where to look next? After reviewing your server setup in SM config, check configcheck and/or login and watch mail log. - paul -- Open Guild, LLC http://openguild.net/ Software.Systems.Solutions |

Nowhere do I see 2096. An earlier response stated that 2096 is very non-standard, so it seemed reasonable to wonder where that number was coming from. Presumably it's something to do with the way apache is configured. This is probably not a SM issue as you suggest, but given that I can get to html pages OK and it's supposedly a bog standard apache install, I had to wonder. And again - there are no messages to look at in the mail log - presumably because I don't get far enough to even attempt a login. Anyway - I'll go back to my apache config and try to work out what the issue is there. thanks Brian |

If I browse to: http://univexsystems.com/ I see the test page I have placed there in index.html If I browse to: http://univexsystems.com/webmail/ I get the connection refused on 2096 webmail is a symlink: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Jun 29 12:06 webmail -> /usr/share/squirrelmail/ So something about attempting to connect to squirrelmail is causing 2096 to be used. What or why - I know nothing! thanks Brian |

What or why - I know nothing! Sorry, I thought you were getting IMAP errors. Ben is right. Work out your firewall or web server - not SM issues at all. http://www.google.com/search?q=port+2096+refused First result on that page is already a bit helpful. I'm sure you can Google it yourself. -paul |

No difference. /usr/share/squirrelmail/index.php is unchanged - just the one line: header('Location: src/login.php'); thanks Brian -- Brian Parish Managing Director Univex Systems Pty Ltd Phone: 1300 73 64 54 Mobile: 0414 325 521 |
