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

Hi Jamie - your correct, it appears to be a Quota problem on the server Here's how far my server guys got today >>> The problem is definitely with the quota system. Webmin uses a short perl script called "edquota.pl" to simulate the existence of a human-driven editor to the proper "edquota" command, but for some reason the script hangs badly (and requires a kill -9 to get rid of it). there is a workaround for this problem (it's fairly involved, unfortunately): - Log into the server via SSH, then add a new user via webmin. - Wait a few seconds, then run "ps fax | grep edquota.pl" in the shell session to find the running edquota.pl process. The output should look something like: <<<<<<<< 12383 ttyp0 S 0:00 \_ grep edquota.pl 12260 ? R 0:01 \_ /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/webmin//quota/edquota.pl /tmp//EdP.aWHoTCe >>>>>>>> Ignore the line mentioning grep and note down the PID for the edquota.pl (the first number in that line, 12260 in this case) and kill it by running "kill -9 12260" Repeat the "ps fax" and "kill" step (it runs twice) for each user. The web page should now finish loading. <<< Jamie - are you able to make any suggestions as to how we can get over this problem Regards Martyn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jamie Cameron" <jca...@we...> To: <web...@li...> Sent: Tuesday, October 11, 2005 12:16 AM Subject: Re: [webmin-l] Problems with Virtualmin - will not setup domain > It looks like something has hung just after the user was created.. > This could be the setting of the user's quota, or the creation of his > mail file. > > Which mail server are you using there?
