8.3 Configure Web Server

• Startup the "DHCP" virtual machine (see 8.2 Startup Web Server virtual machine)

Now you could log in directly in the virtual machine as user root, but connecting through SSH from your host PC, makes it possible to copy and paste text into the console window

• Open "Command Prompt" on your host computer

Write what is highlighted in red

Instead of writing "teddy", then write the username you have created on the master virtual machine:

C:\Users\teddy>ssh teddy@192.168.0.128

teddy@192.168.0.128's password:write your user's password here

[teddy@localhost ~]$ su

Password:write the root password here

Write what is highlighted in red, but write your own organization name instead of "yddet.dk":

We have tried to make the name SquirrelMail as transparent as

possible. If you set up an organization name, most places where

SquirrelMail would take credit will be credited to your organization.

If your Organization Name includes a '$', please precede it with a \.

Other '$' will be considered the beginning of a variable that

must be defined before the $org_name is printed.

$version, for example, is included by default, and will print the

string representing the current SquirrelMail version.

[SquirrelMail]: yddet.dk

Write what is highlighted in red, but write your own organization title instead of "Teddy's webmail":

If your Organization Title includes a '$', please precede it with a \.
