Problem: Webmail access via HTTPS

[th0]

I replaced ISPConfig with Zimbra this week and I was immediately impressed with the features and ease-of-use. I am currently hosting 2 domains and all mail routing is fine and good. Here is my problem.

As I am already hosting a website/blog, I really need to use https for webmail so I can port forward this from my external router. I tried the command zmtlsctl and restarted zmcontrol stop; zmcontrol start. I did not have any luck with this.

I also found this link, but not sure if this work for my version.

hxxp://wiki.zimbra.com/index.php?title=Provide_HTTP%28s%29_Integration_with_Apache

Any assistiance will be highly appreciated.

Version

zcs-5.0.4_GA_2101.RHEL5.20080321150546

Platform

CentOS 5.0

well, https can be run on any port. It's default is 443, unless you override it. So you can do https://mail.domain.com:8080 and run zmtlsctl https and then change the zimbra mail port using zmprov.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I implemented what was suggested. The services restarted fine. However, port 443 isn't listening. I also tried port 8080 with limited success.

As I am hosting two domains using Virtual Host, can this contribute to the error.

[th0]

The primary reason for me to have the webmail on https (443) instead of 8080 so internal and external user can use the url - https://mail.domain.com.

I hope someone can assist me with this issue. In the meantime, I have to refer to google.

Thanks.

I also tried the following but with no success

./zmprov mcf zimbraMailPort 443
[zimbra@pop bin]$ ./zmprov gcf zimbraMailPort
zimbraMailPort: 443

[th0]

I still can't find anything related to my issue.

Can someone please assist?

Thank you in advance.
