Hi, I have issues with pages being refreshed. When I submit a form page in any of the modules and displayed the redirected page, the redirected page is never updated. I have to manual refresh and all the updated information is there ! Also, it can be seen sometimes when I renter webmin with a new session and it fails to prompt me for username/password, even though I have logged out gracefully ! I did not see this until recently ? I dont rememember it happening in my early days of using Webmin. Is webmin doing caching at the server ? Also I have tuned my browser to 'always go to the server' for pages. Any suggestions or is there something that we are doing wrong ? thanks in advance, Nigel. |

Check the webmin error log at /var/webmin/miniserv.error .

Another thing I forgot : if I redirect the output of my cgi script into=
a
temp.html file, and then I look at that file with IE, everything is fin=

That should work .. in fact, if you look at caldera/index.cgi under the=
webmin root directory (which is used by the Caldera theme), you can see=
that
it uses frames as well.
What does the browser display when you access your CGI program?

Oh, I see. The other thing I thought about for this was that sometimes it might be necessary to push a script to the other box and then execute it there. Downloading stuff to the remote box might fall under that category.

Hi everyone.
I'm trying to build my interface for a new module. My only proble=
m is
that Webmin doesn't seem to let me create frames and framesets.
Anyone knows if it's possible using Webmin 0.92?
Using Perl, this is my code:
do '../web-lib.pl';
print "<HTML>\n";
print "<HEAD>\n";
print "<TITLE>A Basic Example of Frames</TITLE>\n";
print "</HEAD>\n";
print "<FRAMESET ROWS=3D\"75%, *\" COLS=3D\"*, 40%\">\n";
print "<FRAME SRC=3D\"page_that_exist.html\">\n";
print "<FRAME SRC=3D\"page_that_exist.html\">\n";
print "</FRAMESET>\n";
print "</HTML>\n";
Sorry for double post.

Sometimes webmin itself downloads files, such as in the Software Packages module. The problem is, when managing a remote server using SSH the download would have to be made by the remote server, not the master. There is no easy way to use SSH to open a network connection on another server, either for downloading or other network communications. This could be worked around by having the master server download the file and then transfer it to the remote server though .. so I guess it isn't really as big a problem as I first thought :) - Jamie Aaron Grewell <agr...@uw...> wrote .. > OK, thanks for the feedback.

OK, thanks for the feedback. I thought it would be more-or-less doable, so I'm glad to have confirmation of that. I'll be watching with interest, and if I can help out, great. I'm not sure quite what you mean by the network connection part, though. Do you mean a connection internal to webmin? Downloading files via scp is pretty easy, so I think I must not understand what you mean.

Quite an interesting idea .. it would be possible to convert most if not all existing modules to be able to connect to another host via SSH, by replacing all function calls that read or write files or start or signal processes with calls to the SSH program to connect to the remote host. Unfortunately, not everything can be 'remoted' like this - for example, there is no way to tell SSH to open a network connection on the other server. Many modules do this for downloading files and so on .. So a lot of modules couldn't be converted to use SSH. It would still be an interesting and mostly do-able long term project though .. but not one I am going to start right away. - Jamie Aaron Grewell <agr...@uw...> wrote .. > First of all, thank you very much for webmin.

First of all, thank you very much for webmin. It is a very valuable tool. I think I have come up with a way for it to be even more of a help to administrators. My suggestion is this: Currently, many plugins require that webmin be loaded on the same box as the service being administered. This makes webmin somewhat of an administrative burden itself on a medium-to-large network. Although it offsets this by making administration easier, it is not really necessary to do things this way. There is already an administrative service that ships with almost all unix-type systems, and can be loaded on most systems that do not ship it. I am, of course, referring to ssh. Every function (AFAICT, please let me know if I am mistaken here) that is currently performed by webmin can be performed remotely via ssh. In addition, many things that webmin cannot do right now (i.e. Windows remote administration) can be done via ssh, since it absolves the webmin server of necessarily supporting the commands being performed. Only the plugin has to handle the commands, and be able to locate and deal with them remotely. Proposed API additions: ssh_exec - run commands via ssh and return their output for error-handling ssh_get_file - download a file either via ssh and cat, or scp ssh_put_file - the reverse ssh_open - a wrapper for open() which uses the above commands to retrieve a file before opening, then put it back when finished. These sorts of commands would be important for porting, as the external plugin authors are probably not going to want to put all the logic in, and it should be able to be handled centrally in the API for most cases. And whatever others I am forgetting that are important for this to work right. How's that for open-ended? ;) I really think that by further relieving administrators' burdens wrt webmin cluster maintenance and opening the way into non-unix systems for webmin plugins this would make webmin even more of a must-have tool than it already is. Of course, you are probably thinking "well, so why don't you do it then?" The answer is that I lack the skill to do this myself. My perl skills are limited, although given sufficient direction I would be willing to help with, say, updating the plugins once the API changes were made. That shouldn't be rocket science, probably just seriously boring except in the corner cases. I hope that this is not a huge task, but I think that it could be a huge benefit to this project. You know the code better than I, as I have only reviewed it briefly. What do you think? Thanks much, -Aaron Grewell |

This can be done .. you just need to add directives like ProxyPass /webmin/ http://internalip:10000/ ProxyPassReverse http://internalip:10000/ /webmin/ to your apache config. Then on the internal webmin server, change to the default theme, and add the line webprefix=/webmin to /etc/webmin/config . From now on, you must go through apache to access it though. - Jamie |

So you want to use the Perl Modules module to view both those from 5.6.0 and 5.6.1? Unfortunately, that cannot be done currently .. all you can do is manage perl modules for the version of perl that is running webmin itself. - Jamie |
