WebMail Lite Login Page

Sandeepan · January 23, 2018, 6:59pm

I’ve installed WebMail Live via softaculous. and configured it to run from this subdomain.
I want to have a login page with username only so that I dont have to type in my domain name each time I login.
Is there any tool/menu-option to do so or I have to do it manually by editing index.php or some other file.
Please inform how to do so.

135 Login
136
137 DefaultOn
138
139 sandeepan.info
140
141 On

It didn’t solved my issue

I’m trying to do the following

If my username is user, then I’ll be entering user in the login page at email.sandeepan.info and @sandeepan.info will be appended to “user”

Hi,
This would depends on the WebMail script you’re using.
A documentation of it might be helpfull.
I personally do not recomend edditing anything without knowing what each part actually do.

Hi,
I never used WebMail lite but i will try to use some common sense and reading some docs.

But when you create a new account, do the script (WebMail Lite) require any username?

Please have a look at my first post in this thread.
I’ve configured it correctly but the settings.xml file is getting overwritten with default one each time I commit a change

@PlanetGamingGG, These are my settings from the beginning, or at least it is supposed to be.
135 LoginFormType → Login
139 LoginAtDomainValue → sandeepan.info
141 UseLoginWithoutDomain → On

However, my settings.xml file is getting overwritten with default one I guess

Hmm… If you’re sure it’s being overwritten, I can’t do anything about it and only Admin can check it.

But to test it, try to add a comment inside the xml file and save it, then see if the comment get overwritten or not

Configuration files should never be overwritten on their own. Or at least, not by the hosting system or by Softaculous.

It’s possible the software itself tries to fix the configuration files, but I don’t know enough about AfterLogic’s software to tell whether that’s the case.

Sandeepan · January 24, 2018, 10:29am

@Admin, can you verify from your end.
This is where the file is.

Sandeepan · January 24, 2018, 11:00am

@Admin
I’ve found the issue (probably)

There are two files in htdocs\data\settings\ directory

settings.xml
settings.xml.bak

As the name suggest, settings.xml.bak file contains a backcup copy of all the configuration information and is continuously overwriting the settings.xml file.

When I tried to change the settings.xml.bak file, it crashed the system.

Is there any workaround ?

I simply want a gmail-styled login screen where it will not ask me to type in @ sandeepan.info each time I login.
