Install wordpress for home development : configure axigen email server part 1

At previous post I have written about :

  1. Install Wamp Server
  2. Add Fake Domain
  3. Install Email Server

All post use localhost aka home development.

In this post I’ll show how to configure email server together with our wamp server.

Problem

Little problem came when wamp and axigen installed by default installation.

Ports

Ports utilized in Wamp :

  • Apache (80)
  • MySQL (3306)

Ports utlized in Axigen :

  • CLI (7000)
  • Webadmin (9000)
  • SMTP (25)
  • POP3 (110)
  • IMAP (143)
  • Webmail (80)

As you see Webmail and Apache use same port (80) . One of the service need to change its port to make everything working well.

I choose to change webmail port to 8081.

Change Webmail port in Axigen

1. Start Axigen

Click Start -> All Programs -> Axigen Config Wizard

Click Next

axigen_config1

Domain Configuration

I enter winhows.net ( fake domain that I use on previous post).

Enter postmaster password and click Next ( I enter 123456 as password)

axigen_config2

Alias Configuration

Check both the option provided :

  • Add the localhost alias to this domain
  • Add the localhost.localdomain alias to this domain

axigen_config3

Click Next.

Check every service to enable  and make sure to change port of webmail to 8081.

axigen_config6

Click Next.

Check Interface that you want for relay email purpose.

axigen_config5

Click Finish and you’re set 🙂

Checking Service

By click Finish Axigen email server get reconfigured automatically. To check if all port is running OK now I use dos prompt.

Click Start -> Run

Type cmd and hit Enter.

command prompt will displayed and type this command :

netstat -an and press Enter.

Result in my Computer is :
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>netstat -an

Great, at this point the service configured properly.
