[webmin-l] Problems with Virtualmin - will not setup domain

[Unknown Q. <web...@un...>]

i'm having problems setting up domains with Virtualmin

i'm running Debian Linux 3.0
with Webmin 1.230
and Virtulamin 2.60

i've already got nearly 200 domains set-up on this server with Virtulamin

however, when i've just tried to create some new domains they have failed to 
be set-up

e.g. i want to set-up a new domain (lets call it domain.tld)


i create a new domain in virtulamin

https://my-server:10000/virtual-server/domain_setup.cgi

Setting Up Virtual Server



In domain domain.tld

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Creating home directory ..
.. done
Creating Unix group domain.tld ..
.. done

Creating Unix user domain.tld ..
.. done


but it just gets this far & hangs

i've left it for 10 minutes to see if its a time problem - but nothing moves 
on


if i go to Virtualmin to see if the domain was set-up anyway - its not

https://my-server:10000/virtual-server/search.cgi?field=dom&what=domain.tld

Search Results


No virtual servers containing domain.tld were found



but if i do a search on https://my-server:10000/useradmin/index.cgi

then it finds a user called domain.tld

and

https://my-server:10000/mailboxes/list_mail.cgi?user=domain.tld

shows the sendmail inbox



so i think - OK lets see if i can import the domain into Virtulamin
https://my-server:10000/virtual-server/import_form.cgi

shows this result

 Import Virtual Server


Working out what will be imported ..
Can import existing Unix user domain.tld for domain.

Can import existing Unix group domain.tld for mailbox users.

Can import 1 mailbox users who have the primary group domain.tld.

Server is not accepting email for domain domain.tld.

No Apache virtual host matching domain.tld was found.

Webalizer is not set up for reporting on log file .

No BIND DNS domain named domain.tld was found.
(that's fine as it wasn't asked to set up the Bind)

Logrotate is not set up for log file .

No Webmin user for this domain.

No unique virtual IP address for this domain.


             Are you sure you want to carry out the import actions listed 
above in bold?


i say yes - go ahead

Virtulamin says

https://my-server:10000/virtual-server/save_domain.cgi

Save Server



In domain domain.tld

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Modifying Unix user ..
.. done
Changing Unix quota ..


and just hangs again

the domain name is not very long
(i've also tried to set up 2 other domains with the same failure results)

i've tried to set them up from a remote PC running windoze XP
i've tried a Firefox & ie6 browser - both fail at the same point

does anybody any ideas what has caused this
and how it can be fixed
