Virtual Host for RoundCube

Question

i have RoundCube setup on a ubuntu 10.04 server, and it works perfectly when browsing to address.tld/roundcube

however I would like to be able to go to mail.address.tld

for this I have added the following virtual host config:

<VirtualHost mail.address.tld>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
ServerName mail.address.tld/roundcube
DocumentRoot /var/www/roundcube
<Directory /var/www/roundcube>
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/roundcube>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    allow from all
</Directory>

The Roundcube page is able to open however the PHP functions do not work correctly. I would like to resolve that.

Provide some details, what functions are not working ? What error messages are you getting ? — topdog, Jul 23 '10 at 07:01
The functions that are not working are things like reading mail and basicly anything dynamic on the page. replying, deleting forwarding and viewing messages in the viewing pane. — Grishanko, Jul 23 '10 at 22:48
what version of roundcube are you running? 0.3 stable? 0.4 beta? or the one that came with Ubuntu 10.04 (which is buggy)? — James, Jul 25 '10 at 05:55

It looks like the ServerName line is wrong. Just delete the "/roundcube" at the end.

Please use the following and tell us, what your findings in /var/log/yourdomain.error.log are.

<VirtualHost mail.address.tld>
  ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost 
  ServerName mail.address.tld 
  DocumentRoot /var/www/roundcube 
  ErrorLog /var/log/yourdomain.error.log 
</VirtualHost>

I made this change however the problem is still occurring. Any other ideas? – Grishanko Jul 23 '10 at 22:47
Did you create a DNS entry for mail.address.tld? – ddeimeke Jul 24 '10 at 13:13
Yes I did, and the page does resolve correctly. – Grishanko Jul 24 '10 at 15:24
Added an alternate definition to the answer. – ddeimeke Jul 25 '10 at 05:24
Here is a section of the logs: [Tue Jul 27 13:16:14 2010] [error] [client 64.91.77.185] Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible: /var/www/roundcube/program/js/jquery-1.3.min.js, referer: http://mail.domain.tld/ [Tue Jul 27 13:16:19 2010] [error] [client 64.91.77.185] Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible: /var/www/roundcube/program/js/jquery-1.3.min.js, referer: http://mail.domain.tld/?_task=mail&_mbox=INBOX – Grishanko Jul 27 '10 at 18:21

Got it!

I allowed symlinks in Apache

Then modified the the symlinks to point to the full path of of the javescript file. By default it was using a relative path.

ln -s /usr/share/javascript/jquery/jquery.min.js jquery-1.3.min.js

Thank for the help everyone!
