Hi All
I have a working setup of Apache serving Roundcubemail and Owncloud, proxying through Nginx without fast_CGI.
Users connecting to
https://webmail.example.com must enter https://webmail.example.com/rouncubemail because of the limitations of the Roundcubemail Owncloud plugin that displays owncloud inside roundcubemail.
The only way we have been able to get the plugin to work is to set things up as below:
$rcmail_config['owncloud_url'] = 'http://webmail.example.com/owncloud';
with the corresponding apache vhosts:
<VirtualHost 172.21.11.48:80>
ServerAlias "webmail.example.com"
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 172.21.11.48:80>
ServerAlias "cloud.example.com"
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/owncloud"
</VirtualHost>
If roundcubemail is appended to "/var/www/html" as one would expect the plugin stops working. The owncloud URL must be an absolute URL with no subdomains.
and Niginx
server {
listen 443;
root /var/www/html/roundcubemail;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
server_name webmail.example.com;
ssl on;
ssl_certificate /etc/pki/tls/webmail.example.com.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/pki/tls/private/webmail.example.com.key;
ssl_session_timeout 5m;
error_log /var/log/nginx/proxyerrorlog;
ssl_protocols SSLv3 TLSv1;
ssl_ciphers ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT56:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+EXP;
ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_pass http://172.21.11.48:80;
}
location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
}
So my question is how is this situation best handled? so users can enter https://webmail.example.com.
Can it be fixed with in Nginx or something else. I found the Nginx documentation impenetrable (that regex stuff and my dyslexia ) and have so far only managed to enter a rewrite loop or end up with https://webmail.example.com/index.php/roundcubemail so any tips greatly appreciated.

P.S We can't use fast_CGI becuase the webserver is an IBM s370 and rebuilding it is a royal pain in the ****.
