>Description:
I have an intranet server (thorheim.holland) which has an URL /horde/imp, his works fine.
I created an Alias /webmail/ "/usr/local/apache/htdocs/horde/imp". Later I changed this to
Alias /webmail "/usr/local/apache/htdocs/horde/imp" only now when I type in:
thorheim.holland/webmail/ it works OK, when I type thorheim.holland/webmail it redirects me to
www.thorheim.com/webmail/ which obviously doesn't exist. It is not my domain either.
>How-To-Repeat:
Have an intranet server with the same name as a real domain (pref. .com) ??
>Fix:
no
