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

I guess that all depends on what you want your FTP server to do.
If you just want to allow domain owners to login and manage their files,
almost any FTP server will work fine .. although personally I prefer
proftpd as it has better integration with Webmin.

Re: [webmin-l] ftp questions/recommendations (also web mailquestions)

[Barry <we...@i1...>]

Thanks Jamie -

I might need that eventually for some domains, so good to know.

Any tips on configuration options for virtual hosting with vsftpd? 
Currently googling, haven't found anything that makes sense yet...

Best,

Barry

Re: [webmin-l] ftp questions/recommendations (also web mailquestions)

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

That plugin isn't actually for managing vsftpd fully - instead, it just
allows you to enable a vsftpd virtual IP anonymous FTP server for a domain
in Virtualmin. Which is probably not what you are looking for ..

Re: [webmin-l] ftp questions/recommendations (also web mail questions)

[Barry <we...@i1...>]

Thanks John -

I installed vsftpd and the vsftpd module - yes, pretty plain. But should 
be OK.

I also installed Jamie's vsftpd module for virtualmin. When I installed, 
the install output said  it was "hidden". which it dies seem to be since 
I can not locate how to configure it.

Any tips?

Best,

Barry

vsftp is the default for CentOS. It's solid performer and using it keeps 
you abreast of updates as with other packages.

There is a module for it which works fine.. not a lot of frills, but it 
does what you need. It does have all the basics available easily and has 
the ability to open the config file for editing within Webmin.

[webmin-l] ftp questions/recommendations (also web mail questions)

[Barry <we...@i1...>]

Hi all - I am running a centos 4.3 system with a bunch of virtual 
domains. Latest webmin 1.290, just upgraded to virtualmin gpl  tonight.


Until now there has been no ftp server installed on this system. I'd 
like to have virtual domains, automiatically configured for new virtual 
servers, and willing to do old ones byhand to get them launched although 
if it happened automatically that would be good too.

Any recommendations on ftp servers that are up to the task and have a 
nice webmin interface? How will I go about getting the old virtual 
servers set up?

And as long as I am at it, I plan to add webmail capabilities soon too - 
any recommendations for applications? preferably with webmin modules 
too, and also would be good if old domains can be brought on board 
relatively easily....

Thanks!

Barry

[webmin-l] Installing Webmin on Windows XP Pro Problem

[Terry A. <hm...@oz...>]

Hi again,
	I posted to the list over the weekend & it may have been lost 
amongst the other threads, so I'll try again.
	I have run Webmin on OSX & other *nix variants for a long 
time, n problems with installation etc.... However, I have a client 
who needs an automated method to administer password protected 
directories on Apache under Windows XP Professional & I cannot find 
any other tool to do it for Windows other than Webmin, which is my 
preferred choice anyway.
	However, I have been as yet unable to get Webmin installed, 
with the same errors as other people have posted but I have been 
unable to find a solution.
	The process to get it installed so far is as follows:

1 - Install Activestate Perl - latest version
2 - Download/extract Webmin .zip file to C:\webmin
3 - On a command prompt enter - perl setup.pl
4 - Output from Webmin setup script is:

Perl seems to be installed OK
This is followed by:

  a number of 'The system cannot find the path specified', followed by

'Failed to create temp directory C:\DOCUMEN~1\Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp

	At Jamie's suggestion, I have tried changing the path to temp 
to C:\temp & also tried c:\tmp, but the error stays pretty much the 
same - an empty directory gets created in C:\etc\ called Webmin & 
also C:\var\ - so the script begins to run it's course, but something 
is hanging it up.
	To answer the first question, yes, I am running as an 
administrator user & I have also logged in as Administrator just to 
see if that worked but no luck yet.

	Has anyone successfully overcome these obstacles & if so, 
could they please post to the list or to my address directly - I have 
been unable to find any further answers to this - any help is very 
much appreciated.
-- 

	Bye for now, Terry Allen

Yes, you could use a command-line program that calls Webmin
functions to do this. I would recommend putting it in the base
directory (typically /usr/libexec/webmin), and coding it like :

#!/usr/bin/perl

$no_acl_check++;
$ENV{'WEBMIN_CONFIG'} ||= "/etc/webmin";
$ENV{'WEBMIN_VAR'} ||= "/var/webmin";
if ($0 =~ /^(.*\/)[^\/]+$/) {
        chdir($1);
        }
chop($pwd = `pwd`);
$0 = "$pwd/create-users.pl";
require './web-lib-lib.pl';
$< == 0 || die "create-users.pl must be run as root";

&foreign_require("useradmin", "user-lib.pl");
&useradmin::making_changes();
while(<STDIN>) {
  # Parse user and create object
  $user = { ... };

  &useradmin::create_user($user);
  }
&useradmin::made_changes();

It is hard to find the cause of this without seeing exactly what functions are
being called by Webmin.. However, in the next release there will be an option
in the Webmin Configuration module under Advanced Options to display a stack
trace that will make this easier to track down..

Hmm .. I wasn't able to test this feature, as I don't run an IMAP server
with quota support myself. Any change I could login to yours to test the
get/set quota commands?

[webmin-l] Migrating users from one system to another

[Carlton T. <ca...@gi...>]

Hi,

I need to migrate some users from an old UNIX system to a
Linux box. Since I need to do a number of operations, eg.
copy user files, I have decided to write a Perl script to
automate the task. To simplify things and to take advantage
of some of Webmin's functionality, I would like to have my
script call the Webmin "save_user.cgi" script to add the
users to the Linux box.

My script will run on the Linux box and do the following:-

1) read a line from the password file

2) parse the line to extract things like username, enc_password

3) call Webmin's "save_user.cgi" to add new user to linux box

4) rcp user's files from old box to new directories on Linux box

5) chown and chgrp user's files

Is it feasible (or even possible) to use the Webmin module in this
way?  If it is possible, what do I need to do to ensure that the
Webmin script will run correctly, eg. setting environment variables.

Regards !

Mark,
Look at this web page. You should be able to follow the instructions 
on this page to get the permissions straightened out on your MySQL server.

Hi Jamie

from SSH as root i can get into mysql with

mysql -u mysql -p
and enter no password when challenged just hit carriage return.

if i use mysql -u root -p and blank password i get 1045 error (i have tried
all common passwords i use but still no joy).

in webmin i do same mysql as user and no password but this means i can see
database but do not have enough permission to do anything.

any idea what my next step might be?

Hi Jamie,

The patch above fixed the gn/givenName issue.  I found I had to disable
the default IMAP quota value in this module for it to attempt to set a
new quota value - perhaps it should override the default anyway.  The
result of trying to set a custom IMAP quota for a user with a numeric
value in the field is the error below:

The user was saved successfully in the LDAP database, but an IMAP error
occurred : Failed to set IMAP quota : Invalid quota list in Setquota

Also the value in the IMAP quota field for any existing user is always
0.  Perhaps the format of both the set and get values is incorrect.

Yes .. I will add a link in the HTML that appears when Java is not installed
to return to the Webmin index.

[webmin-l] How can usermin's view apache log files

[Munzir T. ( ) <mun...@gm...>]

Hi,
I want to allow some users with usermin accounts to have a view over apache 
log files to fix the problems on their sites. I found a module 
called "Logfile Viewer" at 
http://webadminmodules.sourceforge.net/?page=Others but the links are not 
working so I couldn't try it. What's the recommended way to do it please?

You are right. I just manage to see it after I installed java support. So, the 
problem is if the browser has no java support. I would prefer it if the top 
links are kept in place as the case with all other modules. Do you think this 
worth fixing?

Keep up the good work.

Are you selecting a custom options file for this log, or just leaving
the 'Report options' set to 'Global options' ?

At the moment, that monitor only checks the size of files .. but in the next
Webmin release, I will update it to check the total size of directories too.

[webmin-l] Watching directories for "overflows"?

[Joaquim H. <jo...@we...>]

What sort of monitor should I create to check a given directory's total size, and trigger when it exceeds a given value?

Is it the "check file".. and then just supply the full path of the directory to check without the trailing backslash? It doesn't seem to work.

I want the specified directory and all of its sub-directories to be included in the count.

no.. crond is running...

furthermore the webalizer module works without any problems in another virtual 
that it's very similar!

follows the *non* REM lines of /etc/webalizer.conf (same that it is used in the 
other virtual, where the module has no problem) (also, a diff between the

That sounds like a nice idea for a module ..
Regarding the crashing, check if anything gets logged in /var/webmin/miniserv.error
when it happens. Also, try logging in as root and running the following
commands to re-start Webmin :

/etc/webmin/stop ; /etc/webmin/start

Then take whatever action causes it to crash, and see if any messages appear
in the shell window.

Isn't there a 'return to index' link in the top-left corner of the file manager?
Also, the layout is heavily depedent on the theme you are using .. which one are
you using there?

Is there anything odd about this freeVsd system, like perhaps not
having cron installed? Also, were the webalizer options for the standard
apache log, or a log file that you manually added to the module?
