[Jamie, I sent you this a couple of weeks ago and got no response. Now your ja...@we... address seems to be bouncing altogether.] Dear Jamie, Thanks for adding the extraroot functionality to recent versions of webmin. There is one problem: many third party modules have code which looks like do "../web-lib,pl"; Which obviously won't work if web-lib.pl is in /usr/share/webmin and the module was installed into /usr/local/share/webmin. One workaround is to symlink all the important libraries into the extraroot but is there a better way? -- Jaldhar H. Vyas <ja...@de...> La Salle Debain - http://www.braincells.com/debian/ |

No, symlinking is the proper and only way to do it .. it's a bit of a hack, but I couldn't think of any other way that would remain compatible with existing modules. - Jamie |

I'll do that for web-lib.pl config-lib.pl javascript-lib.pl ui-lib.pl Have I missed any other files? -- Jaldhar H. Vyas <ja...@de...> La Salle Debain - http://www.braincells.com/debian/ |
