darkwoof Posted April 22, 2003 Posted April 22, 2003 Since the Horde web mail interface provided by TCH was blocked by my school, I've installed another web mail software for my web site. The software is V-Webmail (http://www.v-webmail.co.uk) recently gone open-source). I've tried squirrelmail, but I don't quite like the interface. V-Webmail also has some extra feature in functionality. For some reason, the software would work for some time, but upon returning to it another day, it would be down. Waiting out for a few more days and logging back again, it would work. The problem occurs at the login screen. When the software fails, I would get Internet Explorer's "Cannot Find Server or DNS Error" error message. Sometimes the screen merely refreshes. In both cases, the URL shown in the titlebar shows: "http://email.alphainitiative.com/htdocs/login.php?vwebmailsession=" (You'd realise the sessionID is missing from the URL, compared to when it was working). Could it be a session problem? Strangely, when I checked the error logs in CPanel, the log is empty. Thanks in advance. Quote
KevinW Posted April 22, 2003 Posted April 22, 2003 I'd be happy to try to install v-mail myself and see what happens - but chances are I cannopt get to it until Wed. Anyone else have time to look into it? -kw Quote
TCH-Rick Posted April 22, 2003 Posted April 22, 2003 I may be able to play with it tonight. I'll let you know. Quote
darkwoof Posted April 24, 2003 Author Posted April 24, 2003 Thanks guys. Any luck with it so far? Quote
KevinW Posted April 25, 2003 Posted April 25, 2003 Darkwoof --- just noticed that as of today (April 24th), there is a new version of v-Mail available - version 1.5 - Click here -kw Quote
darkwoof Posted April 25, 2003 Author Posted April 25, 2003 Again? I've been updating V-Webmail to v1.5 for 4 times now in the past 2 weeks... The first version of 1.5 came out on the 14th or 17th of april if I remember correctly... the rest are minor changes and bugfix. None solved the login/authentication problem so far. I'll try to update with this one again though. Never hurts to try... By the way, I found this post in the support mailing list: ----- To: "Gilles Levesque" <glevesque@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>,<v-webmail@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [v-webmail] Re: RE : Can I use v-webmail to connect to remote email servers?

For example, to > check mail on my Yahoo or Hotmail account? No, you can not use v-webmail to accesss your Yahoo or Hotmail accounts (is anyone using those free accounts for anything serious?). There is a problem, whether on Apache, PHP, v-webmail or a library that makes v-webmail unusable on RH7.3/8.0 systems (the one's I have at hand to test). It seems to be related to sessions and authentication, but that is just guessing. Falling back to Squirrelmail... sorry. Love the way v-webmail looks, just does not works under my current configuration. ----- I wonder if the "unusable" part refers to the login/authentication problem? Quote
darkwoof Posted April 29, 2003 Author Posted April 29, 2003 Great.... now it doesn't seem to work, AT ALL... Any PHP developer here who could look at the code and provide a fix? Quote
