Question
www and http not working
- Posted April 17, 2013
Hello,
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-iredmail-on-ubuntu-12-10-x64
I have installed iRedmail successfully using the above tutorial. The SSL that InstantSSL provides is a 90 days free trial. After that we have to pay. So I avoided “Step 4 - Add SSL Certificate” in the above tutorial.
Now I have 2 weird problems:
-
I am not able to use www with my domain name in the browser or in the ping. www.mydomain.org/iredadmin shows “Server not found”. Ping works only without www.
-
I am not able to use http, but https works. https://mydomain.org/iredadmin works fine, but http://mydomain.org/iredadmin shows “Not Found” page.
Could you please help me to understand what went wrong ?
THanks.

To help others with the similar issue with www not working: <br> <br>I have resolved this issue by adding a CNAME Record alias. <br>Name: www <br>Hostname: @ <br> <br>I think the https://mydomain.org/iredadmin is fine. Secure connection, Better that http. So I will temporarily stick with that. But I didn’t buy an SSL certificate though and currently using a self-generated certificate.
I’m having a similar problem. iRedmail is installed and working, but only accessible on the IP address of the server via https:// if I try and access it via the domain on https:// I get 500 error.
