[webmin-l] PostgreSQL backups permissions

[Seb <sp...@gm...>]

Hi,

Using:

Webmin 1.430
PostgreSQL 8.3.4 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC cc (Debian
4.3.2-1) 4.3.2

I login to Webmin with my normal user account (my normal Unix system
user accounts are synchronized with Webmin's).  The PostgreSQL module
config seems appropriate and I can see all my databases and navigate
through them.  However, "Backup All Databases" -> "Backup Now"
<selecting an existing directory under my normal user's home directory>
fails with messages like this (for every database):

---<---------------cut here---------------start-------------->---
Failed to backup database : pg_dump failed : 
pg_dump: [archiver] could not open output file "/home/myuser/Databases/db1.sql": Permission denied
---<---------------cut here---------------end---------------->---

So Webmin seems to be running pg_dump for every database, but I don't
understand the permissions problem since I can run it fine from a shell,
logged in as the same normal user.  Any tips?  Thanks.


Cheers,
