Re: [users@httpd] Troubles with Multiple Domains Single IP and web
redirect
Thank you, but that did not help.
It does not tell me how to alias
a site to another
ie. vhost mail.foo.com www.foo.com/webmail/

Thanks for all the help.
I will look at this tonight, but I believe the last one
is going to be where I start.
When I say alias, what I mean is that Apple has
included SquirrelMail and it has a Script alias
to /usr/xxx/squirrelmail. All domains have the
alias added if you click WebMail in the Server Admin.
Anyway, I think the feedback has been great.
Sorry if I was confusing and I will definitely
let you know if I have issues. I will also hold onto
this message regarding multiple domains sharing SquirrelMail.
Again thanks for all the great help!

This is confusing to me. The webmail stuff has got to be dynamic webcontent, CGI, PHP or something like that. You should be able to place the actual code wherever you want. And what do you mean with Mac OS X has an alias to the webmail directopry? Is this some kind of stuff included with the OS? And does "alias" mean the same as "symbolic link" here?

You either use a separate webmail application installation for each domain, or you use a webmail application that can understand virtual hosts.
On one of our web servers we have one installation each of two webmail apps and one wapmail (SWebMail, SquirrelMail and pofHQ wapMAIL). We then have virtual hosts that sets the info the webmail apps need to distinguish between the domainas. Like this:
<VirtualHost 10.0.6.253>
ServerName mail.foo.org
ServerAlias mail.foo.org.internal-address
DocumentRoot /var/www_webmail
SetEnv USERNAME_PREFIX foo_
SetEnv MAIL_DOMAIN foo.org
SetEnv MAIL_HOST mail.foo.org
ScriptAlias /mail /usr/lib/cgi-bin/sqwebmail/sqwebmail
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 10.0.6.253>
ServerName mail.bar.se
ServerAlias mail.bar.se.internal-address
DocumentRoot /var/www_webmail
SetEnv USERNAME_PREFIX bar_
SetEnv MAIL_DOMAIN bar.se
SetEnv MAIL_HOST mail.bar.se
ScriptAlias /mail /usr/lib/cgi-bin/sqwebmail/sqwebmail
</VirtualHost>
As you can see, both domains above pints to the same document root.

Forwarding from what to what? The only "forwarding" Apache does is either proxying or redirecting. Would one of thsoe work? You could tell it to redirect all requests for "mail.foo.com" to "www.foo.com/webmail". Using virtual hosts.

I'd suggest you reread the documentation for Apache.
ServerName sepcifies the servers name.
ServerAlias specifies an alias for the servers name.
DocumentRoot specifies the path to the document root.
Alias specifies aliases for paths.
Redirect redirects the client to something else.
For more complex stuff, there's also mod_rewrite to play with.
I really don't understand what you want your config snippet above to accomplish. If you explain what it is you're trying to do, we might be able to help you do it.
You could do something like:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.foo.com
DocumentRoor /path_to_foo_site/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName mail.foo.com
DocumentRoot /path_to_foo_site/webmail/
</VirtualHost>
Maybe that's what you want to accomplish? Or maybe it's more like:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.foo.com
DocumentRoor /path_to_foo_site/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName mail.foo.com
Redirect / http://www.foo.com/webmail
</VirtualHost>
Or maybe you want something completely different?

No, Mac OS X has an alias to the webmail directory
so the domain does not have the webmail directory
in it's actual path. We could do it that way, but
what happens if one of the other domains decides they
want webmail also. So I am trying to do a web forwarding type thing
but within apache. DNS all points to the same place.
There has to be a way to say something like
<virtualhost *:80>
ServerName mail.foo.com
ServerAlias mail.foo.com www.foo.com/webmail/
</virtualhost>
But it is not working for me so I know I am missing something.

Couldn't you do a document root and point it to
/var/www/vhost/foo.com/webmail (substitute your directory path here)
