 |
|
Hi,
I run an exchage 2000 server, and hence need to run IIS for the webmail part of exchange. However I hate IIS and would idealy like to use Abyss as my webserver.
Is there any way to run both types side by site on the same server ?
If not, can I run them on spperate servers, but then what happens with my router ... Which machine do I forward port 80 too ?
Any help would be great.
Thanks, Paul. |

You can choose to run IIS and the webmail on another port (8000 for example) and run Abyss on port 80. In such a case, you should condigure your router to open 2 forwarding ports.

How would that work then ? At the moment, to get to the webmail, you have to go to www.doman.com/exchange. If I changed the port would people have to go to www.domain.com:8000/exchange ? Thats a bit of a hastle isn't it ??
Is there anything I could do with subdomains ? For example if I get a subdomain called webmail. Is it possible to specify that webmail.doman.com should forward to www.doman.com/exchange ?? |

It depends on the subdomain configuration. Some can do the redirection for you. Another solution is to have abyss on port 80 and to define in the web site the directory exchange. Inside that directory, put an index.html file that redirects people on www.domain.com:8000/exchange after 1 second.

I am not sure you understand the conscept. MS Exchange [email server] or any other email server can listen to any port. Same goes with Webserver like Abyss. You need to configure your Router of all inbound to the specific port where your X server is listen to. If you Exchange is listen to Port 3200 for an example and your Abyss is on Port 80. Then set your Router to Port Forwarding to 3200 and 80. For any user to trying to connect to your webserver at port 80, they will use their client browser as usual but to get to the mailserver, you will need to preset the link to port 3200. You can set it in several way... either in your webpage or from your DOMAIN. If you do not like it to display from the webpage, then set it in your DOMAIN like this.... mail.mydomain.com. Just make sure the setting from your DOMAIN is set to port 3200. :D :wink: 8)
