Hello all

I have been having this problem for a while now. I am trying to get hivemail working, the part I'm stuck on is the part where is asks me to direct all mail to a php script called 'Hivemail_process'. I will cut the part of the instructions I am talking about. I am running XMail (the latest) on windows xp professional with the latest versions of Apache and MySQL. I don't know how to do this, help would be greatly appreciated, please help soon, I'm running out of hair!

Quote from the instructions.

And last but not least, we need to 'tell' the server to direct all
mail to the script you just uploaded. To do so, we edit the valias
file for your Web site. This file is usually located at
/etc/valiases/example.com, but it might be different on your server.
Ask your host if you are not sure there this file is. Once you know
the file location, log in to telnet or SSH and type the following:

pico /etc/valiases/example.com

(replace the path with the real path). If you can't use pico, try
using the vi text editor by typing:

vi /etc/valiases/example.com.

In that file, you need to add a new line, that looks like this:

*: |/home/example/hivemail_process.php

Where /home/example/hivemail_process.php is the complete path to the
hivemail_process.php file you uploaded earlier. If you are not sure
where this file is located, type this command (outside of the file
editor) to find where it is:

find / -name hivemail_process.php -print 2>/dev/null

For example, if your file is at
/home/hivemail/etc/hivemail_process.php, this is the line you will add
to your valias file:

*: |/home/hivemail/etc/hivemail_process.php

After you added the line, save the file and exit the file editor.

No - I'm not an answering script ... Group: Admin Posts: 1776 Member No.: 427 Joined: 18-January 03	Zarien, I have tried to send you a mail but looks like you server is not accessible. Can you check it out? For webmail I suggest you to use UebiMiau. It works nice under windows server too because it needs only plain php, no need for mysql. -------------------- Bye, Sasa ------------------------------------------------------------------- All electric machines work on smoke...when the smoke escape from machines, they don't work anymore Windows: "Where do you want to go today?"
