URL Redirect PHP script for Horde

I nearly got mad implementing horde in virtualmin. Though this section will not tell how the Horde was setup. Anyways, HORDE needs to work under /horde framework. I know this can be fixed up in registry.php file and can be used as /groupware or something.But the best should be a PHP redirecting script that will call the HOST name and add up the siffix /horde/imp like that.

Well, let’s come to the precise point-

I want that any domain user will type http://mydomain/webmail and will see Horde IMP- the IMAP version of the Horde frameworked webmail

So how to do this? 2 things need to be done-

Create a /webmail alias & redirect path in Apache Default Server to /var/www/horde
Create an index.php file inside /var/www/horde
Put the following code in index.php<?
$host=$_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’];
echo “$host”;
?>

<?php
header(“location:http://$host/horde/imp”);
exit;
?>
By default Horde creates a /horde in Apache default server alias & redirect section which sends back to /usr/share/horde installation path

That’s it! You’re done. But, you need to restart apache after updating your alias & redirect job.

In case your PHP code gives a blank output!

Then you can use the following html code with java embeding-

<html><head>
<meta http-equiv=”refresh” content=”0; URL=/horde/imp”>
<script language=”JavaScript” type=”text/javascript”>
<!–
function redirect() {
setTimeout(“window.location.replace(‘/horde/imp’)”, 0); }
–>
</script>
</head>

That should do as well!
