Hi all.

I have followed the "email system for the home network 2.1", and I can send/receive mail from my client (workstation) through my server.

When I try to use Squirrelmail I get the following error:
Code:

Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to localhost:993 in /var/www/localhost/htdocs/squirrelmail/functions/imap_general.php on line 445


SquirrelMail version 1.4.3
By the SquirrelMail Development Team
ERROR
Error connecting to IMAP server: localhost.
110 : Connection timed out
 
Go to the login page
 


I know u probably need some conf files but please tell me which and I will post them.

I have tried using the ./configure script that comes with SquirrelMail and set it up to use IMAP server at localhost:993.

Here is my config.php (from Squirrelmail):
Code:

<?php

try
Code:
telnet localhost 993


if it connects and gives you a message/prompt then it's a squirrelmail problem


but imap usually runs on port 143 i think. 993 is the ssl version IIRC, does 143 work with the telnet if imap does not?

is courier-imap-ssl running? (seperate to courier-imap)

I doubt that squirrelmail can use imap SSL
change your port to 143 in the config
and start the standard imap server
Code:
/etc/courier-imapd start

Hmmmm...

I can't even ping localhost... :(

I've set up my default gateway to my internet ip in /etc/conf.d/net. Not really sure if it's supposed to be the lan ip instead.

Info: Box is with 2 NICs: eth0 - outside & eth1 - inside acting as router...

My routing table:
Quote:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
80.163.37.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
loopback localhost 255.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 lo
default x1-6-00-02-b3-0 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0


It's probably an error with this. the gateway "x1-6-00...." is dhcp assigned hostname on the outside (80.163.37.*)

You're probably right :lol:

This is my /etc/hosts:
Code:

# /etc/hosts:  This file describes a number of hostname-to-address
#              mappings for the TCP/IP subsystem.  It is mostly
#              used at boot time, when no name servers are running.
#              On small systems, this file can be used instead of a
#              "named" name server.  Just add the names, addresses
#              and any aliases to this file...
# $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/etc/hosts,v 1.8 2003/08/04 20:12:25 azarah Exp $

PostPosted: Wed Jun 09, 2004 7:55 am    Post subject: [SOLVED] iptables rule..... Reply with quote

Oh my god... :oops:

Found the error! When I had a look at my iptables script I found the following line:
Code:

iptables -A INPUT -p all -i io -j ACCEPT


Which, of course, should have been:
Code:

iptables -A INPUT -p all -i lo -j ACCEPT

io is not an interface... :lol: but lo is :wink: Sorry...

So this was just a typo..... :roll:


By the way. SquirrelMail can use SSL. It runs fine now.
