[webmin-l] Virtualmin and Postfix problem

[doug r. <do...@ar...>]

I'm having a problem relating to postfix when I add a new virtual server =
in
virtualmin. I've added 10 or so virtual servers and everything has been
fine. The trying to add another I get an error:

----------
Creating home directory ..
. done

Creating Unix group campbell ..
. done

Creating Unix user campbell ..
. done

Failed to create virtual server : Filename contains invalid characters
----------

The step after "Creating Unix user" is the Postfix configuration for the
domain. This is where the problem occurs. The domain, username and passwo=
rd
for the virtual server I was tring to add contained only alphanumeric
characters (the domain & username contained only letters; the password ha=
d
letters and digits).

After this error, Webmin seems to have 'lost contact' with the Postfix
configuration. If I go to the Postfix module and select 'General options'=
,
every field is filled with "/usr/sbin/postconf:
/usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.14: no version information available
(required by /usr/sbin/postconf)". See it here:
<http://www.labradordata.ca/misc/postfixmess.gif>. I'm not using mysql fo=
r
Postfix (I'm using hash).

Meanwhile, Postfix itself seems fine; mail is delivered as usual.

There is nothing in /var/webmin/miniserv.error to give a clue what happen=
ed.

This is the second time in a few days this has occurred. I'm at a loss to
understand what's happening. Last time I resorted to uninstalling Postfix
and reinstalling, after which everything was OK (until now).

Any ideas, anyone?

Running CentOS 4, Webmin 1.310, Virtualmin 3.30.gpl.
