Hi all,

I wanna do a Custom login page but when i copy out the codes in email server's index.pl and atmail.pl. I find that the form in atmail.pl submits to itself ??
Cant seem to find any threads in forum on creating a custom login page too, any clues to any threads ? must have been talked to death right ??

Just make your form submit to atmail.pl as well but on the webmail server instead of your own, it will work fine.

I had copied the exact set of codes from index.pl and changed only the action to :
http://216.157.131.123/atmail.pl

HOwever, upon entering the details and submit, it shows me the following error message :

Error connecting to mail server - Does the domain exist and accept incoming connections? (): Invalid argument

My values entered are definitely correct but it doesnt work ..
any other sets of files to copy or codes to change ??

I had set up a A record for webmail.mydomain.com to point to 216.157.131.123.

Okay, i stripped off all the html tags and use just the code below, subst. mydomain with my actual domain name.

<form action="http://webmail.mydomain.com/atmail.pl" method="post" name="loginPage" target="_top">

<input name="username"type="text" size="7"> <BR>
<input name="password" type="password" size="10"><BR><BR>
<input type="hidden" name="MailServer" value="mail2.mydomain.com"> <BR>
<INPUT type="hidden" name=LoginType value="simple">
<input type="hidden" name="pop3host" value="mydomain.com"><br>
<input type="hidden" name="Language" value=""> <BR>
<input type="hidden" name="MailType" value="pop3"><BR><BR>
<input name="Submit" type="Submit" value="Login">
</form>

but it still cannot, throws me some access errors.
Is the code above correct ?

Got this error with the codes above. ...

Content-Type: text/html Software Configuration Error
The error message follows: Cannot read html/English/simple/simple.html: No such file or directory

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Check the permissions are correctly and the parent directory has execute permissions. For example use the following comamnds, where /home/httpd/html/atmail is the directory installed on your server :

chmod 755 /home/http/html/atmail ; chmod 755 /home/httpd/html/ ; chmod 755 /home/httpd/

***gadgetgal99*** · #12 06-28-2003, 05:00 PM

avex. if you copied the cuurent version, it has a javascript in it that creatres the mailserver name that would have overided your mailserver name. That might be why it didn't work. Glad Nranqyn's script worked for you

***aVex*** · #13 06-28-2003, 05:06 PM

possible, i used a plain vanilla version too, but it gave me another error which was the one i pasted above. guess there was something wrong with my syntax.. =p

Waiting for matrix to use your script for our logout pages !!
Hope it is soon .... =)

***gadgetgal99*** · #14 06-28-2003, 05:14 PM

We went to Singapore the year before last for a few days before spening a nice relaxing week on Bintan Island ... must say I could spend a whole week in Funan Mall going through all the computer stores ... yeah I'm a computer geek
