Full Version: Cpanel on port 80
Hostony Board > General Support > HowTo
Alec
Purpose: Give access to cPanel (including webmail and WHM) at port 80 by
acting like a proxy. (For people behind strict firewalls)
This can be installed by server owner, reseller or end-users.

Installation instructions:

1. Download proxy script fromhttp://myplace.dk/php/cpanelproxy/cpanelproxy.php

2. Create subdomain "cpanel.yourdomain.com" or/and "webmail.yourdomain.com"

3. Put this script in that subdomain directory
(probably "public_html/cpanel" in FTP)

4. Create a file called ".htaccess"

5. Put this in the file:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/cpanelproxy.php
RewriteRule .* /cpanelproxy.php [last]


6. Upload it to the same directory as this script

7. (optionally). Repeat with "webmail" in stead of "cpanel" in subdomain and directory.


Known bugs:
- no https
- cPanel will say that you are logging in from "localhost". This might be
considered a security problem by some people.
- some symbols are replaced in webmail.

After following the directions, it seems to have had no effect. Am I missing additional steps?

Show me your cpanel or webmail link
doc-squared
It's just:
http://www.doc-squared.com/webmail
found on
http://www.doc-squared.com

or http://www.doc-squared.com/cpanel
typed directly into IE.

Subdomians cpanel.doc-squared.com and webmail. was not configured well. I've added them. Try to ping cpanel.doc-squared.com
doc-squared
Ping doesn't reply anything from my subdomains.

Also, will I have to access it through
http://cpanel.doc-squared.com

or

http://www.doc-squared.com/cpanel

??

I've added DNs entry for this subdomain and it must be working now or in a couple of hours after DNS propagation
doc-squared
Thanks, both of them ping fine now, and cpanel seems to work properly.

However, using webmail.doc-squared.com

just brings up the text of the cpanelproxy.php file.

Can you help with this last problem?

Brett.
Alec
It is fixed
There was a bogus script source in folder webmail
doc-squared
Thank you.

I'm also referring a friend to use your services.

Brett.
doc-squared
Unfortunately, I botched things using FrontPage.

Cpanel still works but webmail.doc-squared.com just gives a page not found error. Pinging webmail.doc-squared.com still works.


Brett.
Vanya
Is it ok now?
doc-squared
Almost. Now I get the text of the script instead of the actual login page.

Brett.
Alec
Now it's fixed
doc-squared
I do hate to spend your time more than once on a single issue, but . . .

Now I get the can't display page error at webmail.doc-squared.com.

And once you fix it, do you recommend that I lock the folder?

More appreciative than I'm saying,
Brett.
Stanly
Fixed, server was just rebooting.
You can't (and don't need) to lock it 'cause it is just an alias.
doc-squared
webmail.doc-squared.com

still doesn't work.

Looks like a DNS problem. It's working for me.
It should work on your computer in a few hours.
doc-squared
It works. Thanks, B.

If you're behind a firewall or nat, and can not open ports.
You can simply configure an external proxy in your browser.
You'll be able to find a non exhaustive list of public proxies at :

Just don't forget that proxy should be on port 80.

Hi,

I've tried to follow these steps to setup webmail on port 80.

I added a subdomain (webmail.noclue.net) 2 days ago, but pinging or trying to go to the domain fails immediately.

I just added the subdomain and put the files in the public_html/webmail directory, I didnt setup forwarding on that subdomain or anything, is that correct?

main domain name is forgottenhorde.net, would appreciate it if you could check it out.

Thanks

Edit : Its been a good few days now, plenty of time for DNS to update... any ideas on why webmail.noclue.net wont resolve at all?
Alec
webmail.noclue.net and webmail for yourmain domain name are working ok now.
ClydeB
Indeed they are, thanks muchly!
Bandon
Looks like that script is no longer available. Is there a new source?
