[webmin-l] Automatic restarting of Failed processes

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

Is there a way currently to have certain services / CPU processes monitored
with Webmin, and have the services restarted if they go down.  I was looking
at the Webmin Monitor script but it wasn't restarting the HTTP like I wanted
it too.

 

Thanks,

Ok, that makes sense now .. you are seeing a bug that existed in Webmin 1.260,
but has been fixed in the 1.270.

No, I am not using Virtualmin.
I have tried what you suggest and it happens only on "Apply Changes" when=20
direct restart command is executed within webmin (in my case=20
'/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart').

stop, start -> ok, clean (*)
stop, start, apply(start-stop) -> ok, clean (*)
stop, start, apply(apachectl) -> ok, clean (*)
stop, start, apply(command) -> not clean

So setting on the module config "Command to apply configuration" to "Run st=
op=20
and start commands" or "Use apachectl or HUP signal" solves the problem

(*) Clean mostly as :

_ENV["SERVER_REALROOT"]	/usr/libexec/webmin
_ENV["PWD"]	/usr/libexec/webmin/apache/

keep set.

Thanks

Does this still happen if you stop and re-start Apache from within
Webmin? I am pretty sure this problem is fixed by clearing all environment
variables before calling Apache, although if you just do a restart or apply
changes Apache may still be inheriting variables from a previous incorrect
version of Webmin.

Also, are you using Virtualmin there? It has its own slightly different Apache
restart code.

Those extra messages are harmless .. they are just informing you that there
is no need to upgrade to older versions of Virtualmin when you already have
the latest.

Hello list,

is it possible to define a "Email message subject"  with a special command?
I have multiple machines, which are all identically configured. Therefore I need a command in my "Email message subject".

I want to use a subject "daily `uname -n`" so I could determine the name of the machine. Is it possible?

Best regards,

You might want to just use the default subject, which includes the hostname. Apart from that, there is no
other way to include it in the subject line .. although I may add support for using variables like ${HOSTNAME} in the next Webmin release.

Does this still happen if you stop and re-start Apache from within
Webmin? I am pretty sure this problem is fixed by clearing all environment
variables before calling Apache, although if you just do a restart or apply
changes Apache may still be inheriting variables from a previous incorrect
version of Webmin.

Also, are you using Virtualmin there? It has its own slightly different Apache
restart code.

This happens everytime, except the actual download doesn't happen unless

affecting anything except for my mind.. which is 'affected' enough. ;)

[webmin-l] Webmin Doesn't Clean ENV

[Agustin P. <ag...@gs...>]

Hi All,

I have been searching the web  because I have that problem (see subject) wi=
th=20
version 1.260

Even if this http://seclists.org/lists/bugtraq/2001/May/0258.html says it h=
as=20
been fixed on 0.83 when I restart my Apache server I can see webmin SID wit=
h=20
PHP phpinfo() function which may be a serious security problem as it says=20
here: http://seclists.org/lists/bugtraq/2001/May/0275.html

Has this been fixed?

How do I get ENV cleaned when restarting Apache with webmin?

I am using the miniserv.pl server.

Thanks

[webmin-l] FSdump with command in "Email message subject"

[Kaiser, H. <r_...@gm...>]

Hello list,

is it possible to define a "Email message subject"  with a special
command?
I have multiple machines, which are all identically configured.
Therefore I need a command in my "Email message subject".

I want to use a subject "daily `uname -n`" so I could determine the name
of the machine. Is it possible?

Best regards,
Hans

You need to click on a virtual server in Virtualmin, and then enable the SVN feature
for it. From then on, the domain owner can login to Webmin and use the SVN module to
create repositories..

Are they actually selected on the plugin modules page though?
The list just shows available plugins - you need to select (ctrl-click)
them to make them active.

JAMES: Yes, all are selected and supposedly active. Subversion module appears when logged into Webmin as root, says "You do not have access to any Virtualmin servers."

Any help much appreciated!

That depends on the distro.  Debian and IIRC some recent 
RedHat(-derived) releases require the root password even on runlevel 1.

on linux systems, you should be able to boot to runlevel 1 (add 'linux
1' to grub kernel line) which is single user no password necessary,
change the root password via command 'passwd' and then reboot.

[webmin-l] Upgrade Module Snag

[John H. <web...@ew...>]

I have upgraded Webmin to 1.270. Under the Proxy Servers and Downloads 
section, I have set it to a superb-east (and tried another connection as 
well).

When using the 'Upgrade Webmin' module to try to upgrade Virtualmin (by 
checking Update non-core modules as well) I keep getting the following 
error.

*Updating Webmin modules ..*

Module *file* is already up to date.

Module *ldap-useradmin* is already up to date.

Updating module *virtual-server* to version *2.611*.
          Latest version of Virtualmin.

[webmin-l] Virtualmin Pop3

[Bruno S. <bru...@fi...>]

Hello,

I have a server running centos 4.2 with dovecot,postfix and virtualmin. I
have create with virtuamin two domains and they are running without any
issues.
I can access them by ftp, web and send/receive emails using squirrelmail.
Now I would like to know how can I give access by POP3 when I'm not in the
same network as the server is. When I'm on the same network I can use pop3,
but when I'm not, I have "relay access denied".

Any tip would be appreciated.

Best regards,
Bruno Sousa

[webmin-l] Regarding "pre encrypted" passwords

[Frank <fra...@ho...>]

Hi all,
 
This must be the single most ridiculous situation I found myself in lately,
and maybe someone can help me on this one.
 
By mistake, I changed the root password using plain text in the "pre
encrypted" password field, thus locking myself out.  My system is very
secure now, to say the least...
 
I do not wish to retreive the password (it's probably in some form of hash),
but is there a way to make use of my human readable password to correspond
to the way it is now stored on the system?  I've noticed that the pre
encrypted field had been hashed upon saving the root user profile.
 
Any help on that would be most welcome, to say the least.

Same here but to the USA.  My grandmother was big into genealogy so I
