Requirement
You need SSH access to the server.
Step 1:
Login to your server via SSH as root user.
Step 2:
Navigate to following directory.
cd /etc/httpd/conf/extra/
Create backup file
We will modify httpd-alias.conf file.
Before making any change, let us first make a backup copy of this file.
cp httpd-alias.conf httpd-alias-backup.conf_
Edit the file
Open httpd-alias.conf in any text editor. I am using here nano.
nano httpd-alias.conf
In this file find this line.
Alias /roundcube /var/www/html/roundcube
Change the above line to:
Alias /mail /var/www/html/roundcube
Save the file using keys: ctrl + o
Exit the nano editor using keys: ctrl + x
Restart Apache
service httpd restart
Done!!
