I am moving our website off to a new hosting company, so nomealaska.org will be on a different server, different IP address. We are keeping our email server on the existing in-house server however, and unfortunately it is also named nomealaska.org.
When traveling we access our work email by logging into nomealaska.org/webmail. That redirects to https://www.nomealaska.org/webmail. Here is what the new hosting company suggested we do to handle keeping our ability to log into webmail: " Since the overall domain of nomealaska.org will point to our web server, the address https://www.nomealaska.org/webmail will no longer work as it does in its current form. On your DNS server, we'll probably have to setup something like https://mail.nomealaska.org so that it points to the IP address of your mail server. We can then add a redirect for http://www.nomealaska.org/webmail so that it routes to your server. That will mean registering a new ssl certificate for your mail server so that it runs on https://mail.nomealaska.org. " I'm not sure what all I need to do to make this change. In my /etc/httpd/conf.d/blueonyx.conf file I have this: RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^:]+) RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT} !-d RewriteRule .* https://%1:444/error/forbidden.html [L,R] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^:]+) RewriteRule ^/admin/?$ https://www.nomealaska.org:81/login.php [L,R] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^:]+) RewriteRule ^/siteadmin/?$ https://www.nomealaska.org:81/login.php [L,R] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^:]+) RewriteRule ^/personal/?$ https://www.nomealaska.org:81/login.php [L,R] Assume I'll maybe want to make some changes there such as https://mail.nomealaska.org in place of existing? Is this the easiest/best way of handling this? I have several users who only use webmail (squirrelmail) for accessing their accounts so they have email stored on the server. Hate to be much of a disruptor for them. Advice warmly welcomed. A nice outline of steps involved? cheers, JD -- Jim Dory Engineering City of Nome PO Box 281 102 Division St. Nome, AK 99762 907.443.6604 http://www.nomealaska.org _______________________________________________ Blueonyx mailing list [email protected] http://www.blueonyx.it/mailman/listinfo/blueonyx
