symlink on index.php file

I have roundcube stored in /etc/zpanel/panel/etc/apps/webmail/ and I want to point it from webmail.mydomain.com. So I have created a subdomain, created a new home directory for that domain and a symlink like this:

ln -s /etc/zpanel/panel/etc/apps/webmail/index.php /var/zpanel/hostdata/zadmin/public_html/webmail_mydomain_com/index.php

so now I should be able to point webmail.mydomain.com and accessing to roundcube but it doesn't work, I get a white page and nothing loaded.

Any suggestion?

thanks

  • Just copy the file.

  • It cannot work, I cannot simply copy index.php because it has to be in the right directory in order to work.

  • What does your error log say?

    Do you have selinux enabled?

    Are proper permissions set?

    You should symlink the directory, not index.php.

  • you might want to rename topic, when I clicked on it, it went to a 404 page:

    This thread is now an exclusive club.

  • I don't know why but I changed title and now the thread is available.

  • @joepie91 is right, you shouldn't be linking only index.php, it won't work. You need to link the whole subdir.
    And besides make sure that FollowSymLinks are set if u r using apache.

  • The problem is that with zpanel I can create a subdomain's home directory inside public_html and I cannot make a symlink with existing directory..

  • Have you asked zPanel developers?

  • I just left a message on the forum.

    @ledzgio link it as a subdirectory and set a redirect there from subdomain root. Or delete original dir and create a symlink instead.
    Anyways this isn't a good way to do. Usually when you have a software installed somewhere and want to link it to subdomain you just setup a correct location/alias in config files.
    I'm not familiar with zPanel though.

  • Replacing these lines:

    php_admin_value open_basedir "/var/zpanel/hostdata/zadmin/public_html/webmail_mydomain_com:/var/zpanel/temp/"
    php_admin_value suhosin.executor.func.blacklist "passthru, show_source, shell_exec, system, pcntl_exec, popen, pclose, proc_open, proc_nice, proc_terminate, proc_get_status, proc_close, leak, apache_child_terminate, posix_kill, posix_mkfifo, posix_setpgid, posix_setsid, posix_setuid, escapeshellcmd, escapeshellarg, exec"

    Options FollowSymLinks Indexes
    AllowOverride All
    Order Allow,Deny
    Allow from all

    with:


    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all

    did the trick. I don't know if it is correct but it just works.

    That is a really really bad idea. You just effectively turned off the cross-user security in zPanel.
