You may be running into a new feature in Usermin for showing a progress
bar during large file uploads, such as when attaching a file to an email.
Does this prevent email from being sent?

[webmin-l] Usermin--> Compose Mail and Mac OS9

[Jesse C. S. <jsm...@ga...>]

Hello all once again.

Hay I recently upgraded to Usermin 1.25 Monday night and now have a few 
users coming to me saying that when they attach documents to an email 
all is well until they click to send the email.  At that point a little 
box pops up and says something about an error "@uptracker".  They tell 
me the box is grayed and weird looking which being OS9 no surprise there.

I looked on the server and basically for every user who reported this 
today I noticed 1 line in the running processes:
/usr/local/usermin-1.250/uptracker.cgi

Never quits or times out.  Just keeps running.

Any Ideas?  The clients BTW are Mac OS 9.2.2 using IE 5.1.7.  I have not 
been able to replicate this issue on any OS X or Windows machines as of 
currently.  This is a new one to me.  I know over the last few months IE 
on the Mac is having more and more problems with websites, but 
unfortunately 5.1.7 was the last version by Microsoft and to my 
knowledge the latest browser for OS9 period....

That certainly is not supposed to happen .. and when testing again with the
latest Usermin to make sure, it does set the correct ownership for me.

However, I seem to recall an issue with Perl on the Mac in the past where
the system call to change the current user silently fails, which causes
this effect! Sadly, there is no solution, unless Apple or someone has made
a fixed Perl available.

[webmin-l] Usermin file manager uploads files as root user

[Chris G. <sou...@cy...>]

This may have already been covered before, but I couldn't find it when
searching the archives, so my apologies if it has. I am having an issue
with the Java based file manager for Usermin. When a user uploads a file
it is uploaded as owned by root instead of the logged in user. The group
is correct. I'm not sure if this is an issue with serving off of Mac OS
X (I'm using 10.3.9) but using the standard upload-download module the
files are uploaded as the correct logged in user/group. This occurs with
Firefox & Safari on Mac and IE & Firefox on Windows. I'd appreciate any
thoughts or ideas. Many Thanks.

Chris Graves

Re: [webmin-l] Webmin 1.320 Migration form FBSD 4.7 -> 6.2

[Jamie C. <jca...@we...>]

Ok, that explains it a bit more .. it seems that the problem
is Webmin cannot create a new pseudo-tty. Is there any chance
I could login to this box to debug this? I am guessing that FreeBSD
6.2 has changed something that breaks Webmin.

Re: [webmin-l] Webmin 1.320 Migration form FBSD 4.7 -> 6.2

[Jamie C. <jca...@we...>]

Hi Grant,
To help me debug this, go to the Webmin Configuration module, click on
Advanced Options and set the 'Show stack trace for error messages?' option
to 'Yes', they re-try the install.

I got the interface working, while the /tmp/.webmin directory exists, what

Hi Jamie,

Silly me, I looked at miniserv.conf, but those lines did not jump out at me.

I rem'd them out and miniserv is running, thanks!

I assume then it will accept connections now on any IP?

Re: [webmin-l] Webmin 1.320 Migration form FBSD 4.7 -> 6.2

[Jamie C. <jca...@we...>]

Hi Grant,
Do you have any socket= or bind= lines in miniserv.conf telling Webmin to listen on a specific IP address? If that IP doesn't exist or cannot be resolved on the new system, you may get this error... so try deleting those lines and starting it again.

Have you been able to add users from command line (ldapadd/slapadd)?

It occurs to me that you are hoping to use webmin to prevent you from learning the details of how LDAP works and it can't do that for you.

Re: [webmin-l] Virtualmin Template Request

[Vernon <ve...@cw...>]

Well I wasn't suggesting that it just reboot the server. At present you have to go to 
Bootup Shutdown scroll to the bottom of the page, hit the restart or shutdown and then 
confirm that you really want to reboot. 

That's a lot to do to confirm that you want to restart the computer.

[webmin-l] Webmin Ldap Users

[<chr...@re...>]

I'm setting up an LDAP server, and I would like to use the LDAP module to do
this. I have the module looking at my server, and it shows the correct dc,
but when I try to add users, it tells me 

 

cn=name,dc=domain,dc=com


Failed to save user : Failed to add user to LDAP database : invalid DN


What am I doing wrong? Maybe I'm not using the exactly correct syntax when
entering the username? What should the exact syntax be? I can't find any
documentation on this module.

Not that I find that I have to reboot that often, but when I do need to reboot there
