Jamie Cameron - 2014-01-24

What gets logged to /var/webmin/miniserv.error when you open that page in Webmin?

Unfortunately, nobody else has reported this.

Jamie, I also reported this ...

https://sourceforge.net/p/webadmin/bugs/4352/

and mine looks exactly the same except I am running FreeBSD 9.2

Also the path to webmin is /usr/local/etc/webmin/ but I do not have a file called miniserv.error there but there are 3 other miniserv.* files.

On FreeBSD, try looking in /usr/local/var/webmin instead.

I found fragment (repeately) in my: /var/log/webmin/miniserv.error

May be this will help

Same for me. Nothing about cron jobs but getting the same errors as jvdsleen. However I don't think they are relevant to the issue we are both experiencing.

As I stated in my original topic, if I change the Webmin Theme to say Caldera, the Edit Cron page loads correctly.

I have tried 5 different browsers with the "Blue Framed theme" and all crop the "Edit Cron" page.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

Jamie Cameron - 2014-01-25

Even with the "Blue Framed Theme" I don't see this error, sorry.

What if you switch to the "Grey Framed Theme" ? That is the new default in Webmin anyway.

Exactly the same result and I've attached an image of it. The only suggestion I can make at this time is to remove Webmin and then putit back on.

Is anyone seeing this issue on a non-FreeBSD system?

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

Mark H - 2014-01-26

Well I have now done a completely thorough removal of Webmin deleting left behind directories / files and re-installed. It is still the same which is a real shame.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

Jamie Cameron - 2014-01-26

So if you remove Webmin completely and then install the older 1.660 release, does the Cron module start working?

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

Mark H - 2014-01-26

Well another user has replied to my "Webmin" topic ...

https://sourceforge.net/p/webadmin/discussion/600155/thread/997f2861/

but his theory on the issue is well off. However he is correct regarding trying to "Create a new database" under "MySQL Dabase Server.

I will remove 1.670 and replace it with 1.660 to see if it works with that version.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

Mark H - 2014-01-27

I'm happy to report that all is well with 1.660. Screenshot attached of "Edit Cron" page and the "Create a new database" under "MySQL Database Server" is also fine.

Hay
changing themes doesn't work for me
so:

I'm not an perl programmer

When i look in the squid-lib.pl I see (in my opinion ) on row 20 a strange declaration

when this row fails the '$version' variable isn't initialized and therefore other rows aren't evaluated right

Q:
Must row 20 not be like : $version='2.2' ;

I think those squid errors occur if squid isn't installed ...

The squid errors are a separate bug which will be fixed in the next release.

Regarding the Cron problem, if anyone who is seeing this is interested in granting me remote root SSH and Webmin access to a system that is experiencing this, it would be much easier to debug. Email me directly at jcameron@webmin.com if that is possible.

Ok, I found the cause of this, and have fixed it on your system.

For other users, the fix is at https://github.com/webmin/webmin/commit/1a8c49b45fc7b07e65159798f21fc8a921cb2269

An even better fix will be coming soon.

  Hay,
  
  Since the upgrade to 1.67 is is impossible to edit an cronjon . The lower part from the edit screen does't appear, neither the save, run , save as buttons. (Tested on several browsers)
  I also saw in de process list (system, running processes) that all started edit-cronjob process keeps visible.
  
  My service-provide can't help me with this bug so that's why post it here because there must be more users affected by this bug.

Thanks Jamie.

I note you have marked it as "On some systems, the socket buffer is too small to capture all output". Is this a "socket buffer" as set by the FreeBSD OS ?

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

Jamie Cameron - 2014-01-27

Yes, the socket buffer size differs between operating systems.

This fix worked for the cron. Thank you!

How would I fix the MySQL 'create database' with the same issue ?

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

Jamie Cameron - 2014-01-29

The MySQL issue can't have the same cause, as that module doesn't use this problematic function.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

Shamus James - 2014-01-30

I was unable to create a new MySQL database until I changed

$out = &capture_function_output
to
$out = &capture_function_output_tempfile

in newdb_form.cgi and it works again.
