Router port mapping & client login error

[neilmc]

I'm using fetchmail to pull mail from our existing mail server while trialing Zimbra.

I've also got webmail set up for the other server (using squirrellmail). While trialing Zimbra, I want to port forward port 2705 to port 80 on the zimbra box.

So a user would use http://ourdomain.com:2705 to access Zimbra externally. I get the login page ok but login fails, reporting a service error.

I can set users to access via PPTP VPN for now, so it's not drastic.

Has anyone else tried redirecting ports via a router to Zimbra? Security setting somewhere?

After the login error, edit the URL in your browser (which probably says http://host/zimbra/mail) to read http://host:2705/zimbra/mail - does that give you the inbox?

If so

zmprov ms <hostname> zimbraMailPort 2705
tomcat stop
tomcat start

Ahh, that will probably be it.

I'll check later and post back. Thanks!
