########

I felt it should be noted when updating Webmin like this there is a few 
things needing to be fixed when using Debian.

First off after you upgrade webmin via the Webmin interface you must 
stop apt from downloading webmin updates from stable and reinstalling 
the old version.

you can run the following command as root:

echo "webmin hold" | dpkg --set-selections

To remove the hold run this:

echo "webmin install" | dpkg --set-selections

Also along with the webmin upgrade you must edit the webmin init file 
/etc/init.d/webmin so that it points to the proper directory the updated 
Webmin resides

##ORIGINAL
DAEMON=/usr/share/webmin/miniserv.pl

##CHANGED
DAEMON=/usr/share/webmin-1.2?0/miniserv.pl 

replacing ? with your version should work (ls /usr/share|grep webmin). 
When you use the webmin updater you have to change this along with every 
update as webmin installs a new directory in /usr/share/ with each 
update. Alternately you could probably rename the original webmin 
directory webmin.old and copy the new directory (maintaining 
permissions) as webmin. Either way I think it will get the job done. 
Also there may be other subtle things I don't know about so no guarantees.

Notice that this entire update situation is not how the Debian folks 
would want this done but it is how I do it as well with good results.

I'm afraid I cant help you much here. Those are local machines on my LAN, 
not online web servers, though I use one as a local webserver and it works 
fine.

AFAIK, Debian has a /etc/apache2/apache2.conf instead of my.conf. In any 
case, I didnt edit anything there. I login through 
https://hostname:portnumber/.

Make sure you are forwarding to https and not http.

I have that set to Off.

Dont have that either. I have /etc/webmin/config, but it dosnt have 
webprefix, webprefixnoredir, or referer.

Nothing other than checking to make sure you are forwarding to https rather 
than http. I setup a minimal debian install on my boxes, and then used ssh 
to do everything from there, adding servers, installing and configuring 
webmin, and so on. One of the boxes works as a local DNS server, and I can 
refer to the boxes from my PCs by both IP and hostname without any issues. 
BTW, I redirect to https://hostname:portnumber/ directly, without a /webmin 
redirection. I see you can do that too, since I am able to connect to 
https://niecka.pl:10000/, though my IP is banned (as it should be).

      well, could You give me some tips how to propertly configure
      apache 2.0.54 to work with webmin?

      here is my conf
   1.   /etc/apache2/conf.d/my.conf

any ideas?

I had two debian sarge boxes (now "etch-ed") on which I'm using webmin. No
need to run setup.sh after installing webmin. Just make sure you resolve
dependencies automatically when installing webmin through aptitude, and it
will take care of resolving all dependencies.

After installation, edit /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf and add in the allow line
the IP addresses of the clients you want to enable to access webmin.

That is all that I did to get webmin up and running on my debian boxes after
a fresh minimal installation of debian. Of course, dont forget to upgrade
webmin after you get it running as debian comes with 1.170 if I remember
correctly.

You shouldn't need to run it manually .. the Debian package
will run setup.sh as part of the install process.

[Russ F. <rus...@gm...>]

Due to a problem with quotas (unable to create files apparently due =20
to  exceeding quota, although quota was 6GB and usage was nowhere =20
near) I disabled quotas for my file system using the Webmin UI.
Some days later a reboot has failed and I see that /etc/fstab looks =20
like this:

# This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details
LABEL=3D/  /  ext3  grpquota,usrquota,rw  0  1

Hello again,

If I use the default Email message subject, I get "Backup of / on

the same backuptask.
Is it possible to replace the localhost with at least the hostname?

RE: [webmin-l] Automatic restarting of Failed processes

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

Can Webmin send mail at all? You could test this using the Read User Mail
module to try sending one ..

It is possible that mail from Webmin isn't going out at all, perhaps due to
an incorrectly configured SMTP server.

I don't even see a log for Webmin sending the e-mail, and I have it setup to

Hi David,
I wouldn't recommand using a check for the existence of the PID file,
as if Apache crashes or it terminated that file may still exist (but
contain an invalid PID). It would be better to use the 'Remote HTTP server'
monitor, which can make a test HTTP request to your local Apache server.

SSH wouldn't be an issue here, but spam filtering may be. The email
Webmin sends looks like :

From: we...@fu...
Subject: Service monitor : Apache Webserver down on fudu.home

Monitor on fudu.home for 'Apache Webserver' has detected that the service
has gone
down at Mon Feb 27 17:00:03 2006

RE: [webmin-l] Automatic restarting of Failed processes

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

Hi David,
I wouldn't recommand using a check for the existence of the PID file,
as if Apache crashes or it terminated that file may still exist (but
contain an invalid PID). It would be better to use the 'Remote HTTP server'
monitor, which can make a test HTTP request to your local Apache server.

SSH wouldn't be an issue here, but spam filtering may be. The email
Webmin sends looks like :

From: we...@fu...
Subject: Service monitor : Apache Webserver down on fudu.home

Monitor on fudu.home for 'Apache Webserver' has detected that the service has gone
down at Mon Feb 27 17:00:03 2006

RE: [webmin-l] Automatic restarting of Failed processes

[<dav...@da...>]

I just setup a different type of monitoring to try the PID issue, (does this
file exist) monitor.

 

It didn't send out the e-mail.  With out me having to dig through the code,
do you know what the message format is?  Perhaps some spam filter I'm not
aware of somewhere along our "Benevolent" internet is grabbing it as spam.

 

Also, webmin runs on our .50 IP, but SSH is blocked from all but one other
IP address (I know the SSH Java shell doesn't work for example) could that
be affecting this?

Perhaps it isn't detecting that Apache is down ..
Webmin checks the PID file rather than trying a connection to port 80,
and in some cases it is possible that the PID file may still contain a valid
process ID even when Apache is not properly running.

So you have the restart command setup, but it isn't being run?
Is Webmin actually emailing you when Apache is down? That would determine if
the
problem is with the monitor, or the command ..

On 27/May/2006 07:28 dav...@da... wrote .. 

Yes, I did.  I setup a monitor for Apache and set it to check when it goes
down.

 

Set to check every 5 minutes and e-mail myself when it goes down as well as
run the command:

 

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart

 

Now I notice when it runs the check a <defunct> webmin appears for 30
seconds in ps -auxf but goes away.

 

We're running Redhat ES3 and have SSH/Telnet disabled on all IP's except for
one.

 

Could that be causing the issue?  If so is there a way to tell WebMin to use
IP XXX.XXX.XXX.54 when trying to do commands?

 

Thanks!

Hi David,
Have you looked at the System and Server Status module? It lets you monitor
things like Apache, and you can specify a command to run if it is detected
to be down (like apachectl start).

So you have the restart command setup, but it isn't being run?
Is Webmin actually emailing you when Apache is down? That would determine if
the
problem is with the monitor, or the command ..

Yes, I did.  I setup a monitor for Apache and set it to check when it goes
down.

 

Set to check every 5 minutes and e-mail myself when it goes down as well as
run the command:

 

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart

 

Now I notice when it runs the check a <defunct> webmin appears for 30
seconds in ps -auxf but goes away.

 

We're running Redhat ES3 and have SSH/Telnet disabled on all IP's except for
one.

 

Could that be causing the issue?  If so is there a way to tell WebMin to use
IP XXX.XXX.XXX.54 when trying to do commands?

 

Thanks!

Aaron,

Do you have multiple versions of perl installed?  Look at the 
#!/path/to/perl that the miniserv.pl script is pointing to and compare 
to the output of 'which perl'.  Try using the full path from miniserv.pl 
to install the Authen::PAM module (/path/to/perl ...).  If you have the 
findutils installed and configured properly you can enter 'locate 
PAM.pm' to see if it actually installed correctly (if it didn't you'll 
only have something under ~root/.cpan)

Re: [webmin-l] Webmin 1.270 on Redhat 9 not logging in

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

Hi Aaron,
Does it help if you set the Webmin root password so that PAM is not needed?
This can be done by running the command :

/usr/libexec/webmin/changepass.pl /etc/webmin root foo

to set the root password to foo.

Yes, I am unable to log in.

RE: [webmin-l] Automatic restarting of Failed processes

Yes, I did.  I setup a monitor for Apache and set it to check when it goes
down.

 

Set to check every 5 minutes and e-mail myself when it goes down as well as
run the command:

 

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart

 

Now I notice when it runs the check a <defunct> webmin appears for 30
seconds in ps -auxf but goes away.

 

We're running Redhat ES3 and have SSH/Telnet disabled on all IP's except for
one.

 

Could that be causing the issue?  If so is there a way to tell WebMin to use
IP XXX.XXX.XXX.54 when trying to do commands?
