How to change webmail link

[calimero1505]

Hi,

I want to use an url to let my users view webmail.
Is it possible to change the link for www.domain.com/webmail in DA at all so it does not use the existing webmail programm?

Hello,

Yes, just create your own skin and edit it however you wish. You could alternatively just redirect /webmail to a different location if you had something else in mind, just edit the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf files Alias for webmail.

In what directory normaly the skins are stored?

Global skins : /usr/local/directadmin/data/skins/*

Reseller skins: /home/reseller/skins/*

you guys have been so helpful with so much, and again pardon my ignorance.....but how do you access files such as ..../usr/local/directadmin/data/skins/* ......I just dont understand, is this something I can access through the file manager? I see quite a few on the threads the say /var/..... I just dont know what that means....sorry

Hello,

You'll need to do it as root from an ssh console. It cannot be done through the FileManager as the FileManager is jailed to you account's home directory, and wouldn't have permission anyway.

You can use something like Putty (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html) to connect to ssh as root. (you need to know the root password)

thanks alot, once again you have been real helpful, and dont make me feel like an idiot. How do I get my root password?

[DirectAdmin Support]

Hello,

There isn't really any way to retrieve a root password. If you've lost it you'd have to contact the datacenter and get them to boot up into single user mode and reset it. If you've never known what it is, then you can probably contact the people who gave you the server and they'll probably know it.
