Hi, we have a minor problem with virtualmin which just requires occasional hand intervention. For some reason when we create virtual server aliases, the ServerAlias line in apache's vhosts/<parentdomain>.conf is not updated with the new alias. When a domain is created it does create the .conf file, and it seems from tracing through the code that it's just not looking there when it creates an alias, I'm not sure if maybe it's looking in apache's httpd.conf. I don't know if this is some idiosyncracy of our setup, if so sorry to bother you. |

Here's a little more info on the issue. We have the virtual hosts configs in a custom place. Bill and I see that its adding files in the custom directory, but we suspect the mods and deletes aren't looking in the custom directory, its just falling back to /etc/apache2/sites_enabled. When we do imports, it doesn't work unless we copy the file into /etc/apache2/sites_enabled.

The behavior is consistent for a given operation. It seems like its using virt_file for some things, and httpd_dir for other things. virt_file is really a directory which has all the virtual host stanza files. That's where I'd like it to be looking for any of virtual host operations.

Here's a little more info, looks like setup_web calls get_website_file which use virt_file config var. There are routines for locking that call get_website_file too. But nobody else calls get_website_file. And I believe get_website_file has the proper logic. The delete_web calls get_apache_virtual, which doesn't appear to arrive at the location of the virtual host file that same way. get_apache_virtual calls get_config_file (in the apache module) which doesn't use virt_file at all. It seems to go directly to sties-enabled. The same goes for most of the others (maybe all of the others). John John Gray wrote: > The behavior is consistent for a given operation.

Yes, that's how its set.

I think the real issue here is this: In Apache Webmin Config, there's a config option: "File or directory to add virtual servers to:" With options of: httpd.conf or a user supplied value. We have the user supplied option. It does add them there. But it won't maintain them there. Try making some directory, set this option to point to it. Add a server. You'll see it in the directory. Now try deleting and otherwise modify it. Nothing.

Those options don't really matter for alias domains though - in the default mode (which you are using), aliases are implemented by adding a ServerAlias entry to the target domain's <virtualhost> block. This is done starting at line 41 in feature-web.pl . Also, I re-checked this on my test system, and it worked fine.. - Jamie On 11/Mar/2008 07:21 John Gray wrote .. > I think the real issue here is this: In Apache Webmin Config, there's a > config option: > > "File or directory to add virtual servers to:" > With options of: > httpd.conf > or a user supplied value. > > We have the user supplied option.
