Zimbra ActiveSync with Z-Push v2
Install Zimbra ActiveSync with Z-Push on your Zimbra Community and enable mobile device support. This feature has been disabled but this trick will do it.
Setup Apache to access Z-Push
You need to setup your Apache server to access the folder where you are going to install your Z=Push files
vi /etc/apache2/sites-available/activesync.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin [email protected]
ServerName mobile.domain.com
# Indexes + Directory Root.
DirectoryIndex index.php
DocumentRoot /var/www/z-push/
Alias /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync /var/www/z-push/index.php
<Directory />
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off
php_flag register_globals off
php_flag magic_quotes_runtime off
php_flag short_open_tag on
# Logfiles
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/z-push/error.log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/z-push/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>If you want SSL support add this to your config also:
<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
<VirtualHost _default_:443>
ServerAdmin [email protected]
ServerName mobile.domain.com
# Indexes + Directory Root.
DirectoryIndex index.php
DocumentRoot /var/www/z-push/
Alias /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync /var/www/z-push/index.php
<Directory />
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off
php_flag register_globals off
php_flag magic_quotes_runtime off
php_flag short_open_tag on
# Logfiles

# SSL Engine Switch:

your SSL part of the Apache config is not configured good, Please paste the config or if you have other SSL sites maybe it’s overlapping with some of them.
Thanks
