For an Email integrated with Ensim you should leave the POP3 and SMTP services alone and install Mailenable or Mailmax on the server instead.Ensim has the details here:
ensim.com/products/webppliance/…ndows/mail.html

Install Mailenable Standard (free) and then run the Integration Utility at
ensim.com/products/webppliance/…ailenable3.html

Ensim now shows an extra item in the control panel for email.

Please refer to the linkat

Download Windows binary for the latest version of PHP. Once you’ve downloaded it, unzip it into a C:\, rename the folder to “php”.
Open the PHP.INI-DIST file from C:\PHP folder, locate the following line
;cgi.force_redirect = 1
We need to uncomment this line and change the setting to 0 as shown below to run PHP under IIS, do the necessary changes and save the file as php.ini in your windows folder (C:\WINNT on my computer)
cgi.force_redirect = 0
Check the following link for configuring the IIS for php:
www.phpbuddy.com/sub_articles.php?other_articles=4
This could be one of the solutions to the standard problem are facing,we that of the name based Sites not starting on the same shared IP and Port 80Host headers is what allows you do do name based hosting. ie IIS looks at the httpd header information for the hostname and returns the correct site depending on that information.
Webppliance automatically sets up host

headers for the domain.com and www.domain.com
If you add additional host headers ( say you want domain.net aliased to domain.com) remember that Ensim does not add the additional domain to dns. You have to add that manually.
So, the next time we come across such a situation (which is not to infrequent as far as I remember), please try to implement the above and check out it it does really work.

This is one of the problems that we have constantly faced on window server. Although PHP seems installed, any .php pages fail to work on browser with the error message ” Page not found”
The problem is PHP and IIS are not configured to interact and so IIS fails to recognise a .php extension.
Use the following steps in this case and Pray to upparwala that it works (typical funda with Windows!!! )
To allow IIS to know how to handle CGI scripts with the .php extension, you must add a script mapping.
In Internet Services Manager, select your Web Site
Go to PropertiesGo to the Home Directory tab

Click on the Configure button

Select the App Mappings tab

Insert the following: d:\path\to\php\php.exe %s %s

This is the location of the PHP executable. In addition, you can also add a similar script mapping for the .php3 extension if you so desire. You should also mark each entry as being a Script interpreter so that you can mark you directories as having Script permission and not Execute thereby making them safer.
The reason for the two % arguments is to handle multiple parameters on ISINDEX queries, which are an obscure part of the CGI spec.

Well, one of my Mentors once told me ” If you know registry, you can control Windows or it controls you!! ”
So heres a method to install PHP support in IIS via registry (update to the above post)
WARNING

These steps involve working directly with the windows registry. One error here can leave your system in an unstable state. I highly recommend that you back up your registry first

===============================================
1.Run Regedit.
2.Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /System /CurrentControlSet /Services /W3Svc /Parameters /ScriptMap.
3.On the edit menu select: New->String Value.
4.Type in the extension you wish to use for your php scripts. For example .php
5.Double click on the new string value and enter the path to php.exe in the value data field. ex: c:\php\php.exe.
6.Repeat these steps for each extension you wish to associate with PHP scripts
The following steps do not affect the web server installation and only apply if you want your php scripts to be executed when they are run from the command line (ex. run c:\myscripts\test.php) or by double clicking on them in a directory viewer window. You may wish to skip these steps as you might prefer the PHP files to load into a text editor when you double click on them.
1.Navigate to: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
2.On the edit menu select: New->Key.
3.Name the key to the extension you setup in the previous section. ex: .php
4.Highlight the new key and in the right side pane, double click the “default value” and enter phpfile.
5.Repeat the last step for each extension you set up in the previous section.
6.Now create another New->Key under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and name it phpfile.
7.Highlight the new key phpfile and in the right side pane, double click the “default value” and enter PHP Script.
8.Right click on the phpfile key and select New->Key, name it Shell.
9.Right click on the Shell key and select New->Key, name it open.
10.Right click on the open key and select New->Key, name it command.
11.Highlight the new key command and in the right side pane, double click the “default value” and enter the path to php.exe. ex: c:\php\php.exe -q %1. (don’t forget the %1).
12.Exit Regedit.
13.If using PWS on Windows, reboot to reload the registry.
PWS and IIS 3 users now have a fully operational system. IIS 3 users can use a nifty tool from Steven Genusa to configure their script maps.
Windows and PWS 4 or newer
When installing PHP on Windows with PWS 4 or newer version, you have two options. One to set up the PHP CGI binary, the other is to use the ISAPI module dll.
If you choose the CGI binary, do the following:
1.Edit the enclosed pws-php4cgi.reg file (look into the sapi dir) to reflect the location of your php.exe. Forward slashes should be escaped, for example: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\w3svc\parameters\Script Map] “.php”=”c:\\php\\php.exe”
2.In the PWS Manager, right click on a given directory you want to add PHP support to, and select Properties. Check the ‘Execute’ checkbox, and confirm.
If you choose the ISAPI module, do the following:
1. Edit the enclosed pws-php4isapi.reg file (look into the sapi dir) to reflect the location of your php4isapi.dll. Forward slashes should be escaped, for example: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\w3svc\parameters\Script Map] “.php”=”c:\\php\\sapi\\php4isapi.dll”
2. In the PWS Manager, right click on a given directory you want to add PHP support to, and select Properties. Check the ‘Execute’ checkbox, and confirm
Windows NT/2000 and IIS 4 or newer
To install PHP on an NT/2000 Server running IIS 4 or newer, follow these instructions. You have two options to set up PHP, using the CGI binary (php.exe) or with the ISAPI module.
In either case, you need to start the Microsoft Management Console (may appear as ‘Internet Services Manager’, either in your Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack branch or the Control Panel=>Administrative Tools under Windows 2000). Then right click on your Web server node (this will most probably appear as ‘Default Web Server’), and select ‘Properties’.
If you want to use the CGI binary, do the following
1.Under ‘Home Directory’, ‘Virtual Directory’, or ‘Directory’, click on the ‘Configuration’ button, and then enter the App Mappings tab.
2.Click Add, and in the Executable box, type: c:\php\php.exe (assuming that you have unziped PHP in c:\php\).
3.In the Extension box, type the file name extension you want associated with PHP scripts. Leave ‘Method exclusions’ blank, and check the Script engine checkbox. You may also like to check the ‘check that file exists’ box - for a small performance penalty, IIS (or PWS) will check that the script file exists and sort out authentication before firing up php. This means that you will get sensible 404 style error messages instead of cgi errors complaing that php did not output any data.
4.You must start over from the previous step for each extension you want associated with PHP scripts. .php and .phtml are common, although .php3 may be required for legacy applications.
5.Set up the appropriate security. (This is done in Internet Service Manager), and if your NT Server uses NTFS file system, add execute rights for I_USR_ to the directory that contains php.exe.
To use the ISAPI module, do the following:
1.If you don’t want to perform HTTP Authentication using PHP, you can (and should) skip this step. Under ISAPI Filters, add a new ISAPI filter. Use PHP as the filter name, and supply a path to the php4isapi.dll.
2.Under ‘Home Directory’, click on the ‘Configuration’ button. Add a new entry to the Application Mappings. Use the path to the php4isapi.dll as the Executable, supply .php as the extension, leave Method exclusions blank, and check the Script engine checkbox.
3.Stop IIS completely (NET STOP iisadmin)
4.Start IIS again (NET START w3svc)

If you want to do some operation in OS windows under other user then you can use following steps..

  1. When logged in as a non-privileged user, browse to your system folder, usually C:\windows\
  2. Shift-right-click on any exe file for example click on “explorer.exe”.
  3. Select “Run As” and provide the credentials for the local admin account.
  4. A dialog box will pop-up asking you for a valid username and password. Enter one of a user that has the required administrative privileges to run and manage that program.
  5. If you give a wrong username or password an error will pop-up:
  6. If you gave a valid username and password then Explorer will open giving you the full permissions to manage it and any programs you run from within that window will run with admin privileges.

If you want to do that from the command prompt then do that by using following command

runas /user:computername\Administrator commandWhere computername is the name of your computer
username is the name of the user you’re trying to run the command as (e.g. Administrator). command is the command you’re trying to run (e.g. a batch file, an .exe file ).
For example:
C:\>runas /user:pro1\Administrator “explorer.exe”

Enter the password for pro1\Administrator:

Attempting to start explorer.exe as user “pro1\Administrator” …
Thats it no need to logout from current login and login with other user…
Enjoy…

If you are getting ” Starting named: /usr/sbin/named: symbol lookup error: /usr/sbin/named: undefined symbol: dns_resolver_setudpsize ” Error while starting named on Linux server then just verify your /etc/resolv.conf and then just do …..

yum -y upgrade bind-libs

And here you go to start Named fine …

Cheers ….

Dont worry about converting to MailDir on server …follow this ….

A) /scripts/convert2maildir

choose option 1.. Backup all mail folders on this server
3.. Start maildir conversion process

B) /scripts/courierup –force

C) /scripts/eximup –force

D) /scripts/upcp –force

E) /scripts/convert2maildir

choose option 3… to convert partially converted mail accounts

Cheers …

If you are getting following error while creating the subdomain

Error reloading bind on ServerName: rndc:

Then you need to check the named configuration file that is /etc/named.conf something is messed up there.

Try to reload the named and if its giving you any error lke
Error reloading bind then run this script

/scripts/fixrndc

If its that even gives you any error then

!! /var/named/domain.com.db does not exist, unable to locate.
!! Run /scripts/cleandns to remove zone without corresponding files.
!! Or locate the proper zone file and place in /var/named and rerun
!! This script with the following options: /script/fixndc -fv

Then run /scripts/cleandns and reload named that will solve your problem. )

1. If you are getting this error in your inbox of your squirrel mail account

ERROR:
ERROR: Could not complete request.
Query: SELECT “INBOX.Drafts”
Reason Given: Unable to open this mailbox.

ERROR:
ERROR: Could not complete request.
Query: SELECT “INBOX.Sent”
Reason Given: Unable to open this mailbox.

then it simply means that there is some problem with the sent and Draft folder in your email accounts just create that at its loacation and assign the proper file permission to both the folders as well as check the other configuration file in perticular format which is been needed there as by your mail services you are using on the server.

fo example if you there is imap configured there for your account then you can do this

Go to

cd /home/UserName/mail/Domainname.com/emailIDUsername/.Sent

mkdir new; mkdir cur; mkdir tmp
chown username.mail *

2. If you have below mentioned error
Warning: main(../config/config.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail/functions/global.php on line 18

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required ‘../config/config.php’ (include_path=’/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/lib/php/:.’) in /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail/functions/global.php on line 18

then run

/scripts/fixwebmail and if you get somrthing like this:

[/scripts]# ./fixwebmail
chown: failed to get attributes of `/usr/local/etc/cpanel/base/webmail/data’: No such file or directory
chmod: failed to get attributes of `/usr/local/etc/cpanel/base/webmail/data’: No such file or directory

then execute via SSH
cp -p /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail/config/config_default.php /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail/config/config.php
Thats it refresh your inbox page of squirrelmail now and you wont see those errors there… )
