By default IceWarp Web Mail uses the ports 4096 and 4097 (SSL).
This means that an awkward URL has to be remembered or the webmaster must employ
other tricks to hide this (see frameset masking and URL redirection below).
By far the easiest method is to remove the need to specify the
port at all. Since the http protocol uses a port of 80 (443 for SSL), all that
is needed is to change the port used by IceWarp Web Mail to 80 (and SSL to 443),
then it will no longer be necessary to specify it in the URL.
Warning! If you have a webserver running on your server it will
already be using port 80 and port 443. You will need to reserve an IP address
for sole use by IceWarp Web Mail and bind this address to the IceWarp Web Mail
service. See the next page for important IIS info.
Inside your Web Mail installation directory there is a
directory called config. Find the file config.cfg inside of this.
[Settings]
Port=4096
SSL_Port=4097
Logging=0
Logging_Path=Bind_To_IP=
[Virtual-Host]
; [hostname]=[base path]
(If you need to bind IceWarp Web Mail to an individual IP
address then edit the Bind_To_IP parameter)
Change the Port parameter to 80 and the SSL_Port to 443, save
the file then restart the IceWarp Web Mail services.
Quite simply you can now use the following URL’s
Administrator Login
http://yourservername/admin
Normal User Login
http://yourservername
SSL User Login
https://yourservername
SSL Administrator Login
https://yourservername/admin
WAP User Login
http://yourservername/wap/
Microsoft IIS Information
Note : Microsoft IIS binds onto all IP addresses by default. In
order to overcome this an extra step is required. Logon to the server with
administrator privileges and issue the following from a command prompt :
cd c:\inetpub\adminscripts
cscript adsutil.vbs set w3svc/disablesocketpooling true
This then frees up IP addresses which IIS is not using (You
will need to change the individual website configurations from “All Unassigned”
to a specified IP.
Once this is done, you can choose an IP address which IIS is
not using, and run IceWarp Web Mail from there on port 80.
