Changing the default loading page advance client to basic client

[juan]

Hi,

how do i change the default page from the advanced client to basic client?

[mmorse]

Welcome to the forums,
Would making a url pointer to to http(s)://server.domain.com/h/ (or zimbra/h/) be enough?

Or there's a few 'disable advanced client' RFE's in.

I have add an entry in Zimbra Wiki on how to change default page Advanced Client mode to Basic Client mode. You can access it here

[Rangga Kusuma]

i think this thread kind like i needed. but in my case I dont want to add new webserver (i dont want to add more presure to my server) and i want to add an alternative webclient (claros) for webclient UI (is this possible?...) which is using tomcat.

can u suggest what should i do. i know zimbra client is more than enough, but because my bos need a client that include jabber chat included, well u know the rest...

ok, back to my question what should i do to set in tomcat if port 80 is called than my webclient is viewed insted of zimbra default client and how to revert them if zimbra finally have jabber chat included.

thx in advance,

best regards

Change the standard client to another port: Changing default page Advanced Client to Basic Client - ZimbraWiki You can then make url pointers to it (other links and/or your dns) and have the zimbra tomcat port 80 landing page redirect if you want.

This is already coming in v5: Bug 14181 - Force Basic HTML Client for Users based on COS

i think i have a problem. i try following procedure on the above wiki and yes after i execute ms [server_name] zimbraMailPort 8080. the setting on tomcat/conf/server.xml change from 80 to 8080.

but i cant get it up even after i use "tomcat restart" or even zmcontrol stop then start. only port 8080 was not active, for zimbraAdmin I still can access it using 7071. if i revert back to 80 all work as usual and i can access web page normally.

wandering why.... :?

[anthony.rasat]

Check if there is application already using port TCP/8080, e.g. Squid HTTP Cache usually using TCP/8080. Normally in Linux you can check it with command line (as root):

# lsof -P -i -n|grep 8080

Make sure there is no other application already using that particular port.

thx for replying my question, antony.rasat .

ok about whether port 8080 is use, i have test it using "netstat -ap | grep :8080" but this return nothing. but if i use "netstat -ap | grep :7071" it returns showing 7071 is being use by java so it conclude that zimbraAdmin is up but zimbra still down.

but if i use "lsof -p -i -n| grep 8080" it returns like it should. after that i want to know what is lsof command use of. i only know that lsof is for list of open file. are u sure if lsof command returns true than port 8080 is realy up? because using netstat it returns nothing(my knowledge is low...).

but maybe there is more to set in the zimbra webapps? because if i revert back than port http is back up and normal.

please help.....

best regards,

About using lsof, I would say it is just matter of preference, I think I enjoy asking directly to kernel about child processes Your way would do just fine.

I'm gonna show you lsof result from my test machine. It's Pentium 4 2.4GHz, 1GB RAM, 80GB HDD running Zimbra Open Source edition 4.5.6_GA_1044.FC5 on Fedora Core 5 kernel Linux-2.6.20-1.2320.fc5. It contains 405 users and its Apache Tomcat constantly being pressured using Siege benchmark apps (emulate 150 concurrent user connections, ~1300 transactions per second). Its IP address is 192.168.10.70.

But first I'm gonna show you my iptables rules.

[root@mail ~]# iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination
[root@mail ~]#

None. Zip. "Look Ma, no firewall!" Check your firewall rule first, disable it if you have to.

Next, the processes.

You should notice TCP 80 is listening for connection attempts. Now, I'm going to change web client port to TCP 8080 as in your situation.

Web client is now listening on port TCP 8080.
Now let us see yours.
