Using cPanel webmail on DO droplet

Posted on July 20, 2020

Hi, I got a web app running on a droplet. The domain is hosted via namecheap. I would like to use the built-in(roundcube) email in cPanel(via namecheap account).

currently, the url of mydomain.com/webmail is redirecting to the default site, and not not the webmail login page (as it should).

Can you help me configure the droplet so that I will have a subdomain or a url that redirects to the cPanel’s webmail service?

I’m using the DO nameserver, and already setup A records.

Hello, @greencup556

If you access the droplet’s IP address on port 2096 this should redirect you to the webmail/roundcube’s login page:

https://IPaddr:2096

Note: Replace IPaddr with the actual IP address of your droplet.

You will receive a warning message about the certificate but you can ignore it and continue.

Hope that helps!

Regards, Alex
