Daniel,
I am very much aware of the default search order. Perhaps you missed the
issue. The user logged into my domain's web mail pages as he is used to
doing. When he logged in, he used his complete email address, which
re-directed him to his domain's unique web pages. However, his virtual path
was incorrect. This is a bug. If you do not see it as a bug, then you either
do not understand the issue that I am raising or you have not tried my
example. Try it. You will see what I mean.
Mike

Michael,
The Web Messaging and web files are a lot different than in version 4! Each
domain must have its own 'Top Directory' and if you wish each domain to have
unique web pages, you must copy the files in \imail\web to a \web dir under
the 'Top Directory' for that domain (of course those pages can also be
modified). IMail has a specific search order for those files and if it does
not find then correct one in that domains directory, it will use the
defaults in the \imail\web dir. See the KB for more info about directory
structures and Web Messaging.

Subject: [IMail Forum] Incorrect Path
Condition:
1. I just upgraded from IMail 4.x to 6.06. (4.x had only the built-in web
pages, I.E. no templates).
2. My root web mail site (I.E. the one associated with the machine) now has
its own unique web pages.
3. I create a unique set of web pages for a customer's virtual web mail
domain. That web mail domain has its own IP address.
4. Many of my customers have links on their web sites to my mail server for
easy access or even just a Favorite to my mail server. Because 4.x had only
the one set of web pages, those links or favorites point to my mail server
(I.E. Not to their domain on my mail server.) They also log in using their
complete email address.
End Conditions
Now, if one of my customers from Condition #3 clicks on the old link, uses a
favorite, or just plain types in the address of my mail server, he gets my
login prompt, enters his complete email address and password and clicks
login. What he gets is that customer's Menu page, but the virtual path is to
my web site. So any buttons that have the same file name and realtive path
in both directories get displayed from my root web site, not the customers.
If the names are different or the relative path is different, the buttons
are not displayed. These things are true for all objects linked from the
page, buttons (an image), other images, wav files, include files...
The reverse condition works correctly. Connect to the customer web site,
enter a complete email address for the root site, and the virtual path is
correct.
Having Fun - Dancing on the dark side of the moon,
Mike
