How to access MailScanner

[dbator]

Hi All,

Sorry with the newb question, but how to I go about accessing MailScanner web interface? I thought it was just: hostname.domain.name/mailscanner But I guess not? I try that and the page never loads. Do I need to do additional configuration?

Reading of the FAQs I know it may be a touchy subject, but, would I be able to get Baruwa 2.x configured and working with E.F.A 3.0.0.4 as the front-end?

Just connect to the IP or hostname of your EFA box.

EFA 3.x has nothing to do with baruwa anymore, we switched over to mailwatch as the frontend.
Baruwa uses a completely different setup which has changed so much in the past that it was a bit hard to maintain so mailwatch is the gui we use and keep using on this project.

Hi,

I tried both just the IP address, and also tried just the hostname. The pages just keep timing out.
I am able to get into Webmin no problem using IP:10000

Can I try restarting the MailScanner service from shell?
How can I verify that the service is running and configured properly?

if you login with ssh go top the option for system shell.

Then do a

Code: Select all

ps -ef f

you should see something like:

Code: Select all

apache    1584  1553  0 Aug17 ?        S      0:01  \_ /usr/sbin/httpd
apache    1585  1553  0 Aug17 ?        S      0:01  \_ /usr/sbin/httpd
apache    1586  1553  0 Aug17 ?        S      0:00  \_ /usr/sbin/httpd
apache    1587  1553  0 Aug17 ?        S      0:03  \_ /usr/sbin/httpd
apache    1588  1553  0 Aug17 ?        S      0:01  \_ /usr/sbin/httpd
apache    1589  1553  0 Aug17 ?        S      0:01  \_ /usr/sbin/httpd
apache    1590  1553  0 Aug17 ?        S      0:00  \_ /usr/sbin/httpd
apache    1591  1553  0 Aug17 ?        S      0:02  \_ /usr/sbin/httpd

meaning that apache is running and serving the mailwatch interface.

I ran:

Code: Select all

ps -ef f

I see the apache services:

Code: Select all

apache    1678  1657  0 09:35 ?        S      0:00  \_ /usr/sbin/httpd

When I SSH into the system, from the Configuration program, in option 11, I have chosen to enable port 443 for secure access, and chose to forward all port 80 traffic to 443 also.

I tried this also, but got the same results:

Code: Select all

https://IPaddress:443

**FIXED**

I was able to resolve the issue, thanks to a previous post of yours in the bug section of the forum entitled "EFA webgui (MailWatch) change to HTTPS"

Basically after checking the iptables, there was no entry to accept port 443. So I followed the instructions:

Code: Select all

-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT

And then

Code: Select all

sudo service iptables reload

And viola! I am able to access MailScanner web interface now by going to: https://IPofEFAserver

Thanks
