Hi Ravi,
What did it end up putting in the httpd.conf file?

RE: [webmin-l] Proxying IP

[Ravi G. <mai...@ra...>]

Jamie,

	Believe it or not it did not work. I made sure that framing was
enabled rather than proxying. I made sure to add http://192.168.1.6/ as the
web framing and everything but it does work. The only way I could get
http://dev.homesite.com/ to point at http://192.168.1.6/ was when I added a
A Name. and even after that anyone outside my local network could not see
http://dev.homesite.com/

Ok, that explains it .. you have the server configured to use frame
forwarding
rather that proxying. You need to adjust the module configuration that I
mentioned,
then delete that virtual server and re-create it.

I would advise setting up the domain in Virtualmin - it makes it
easier to maintain in the long run. Alternative you can set it up
manually and then import it into Virtualmin, but why bother if you

[webmin-l] Virtualmin and mail servers

[Russ F. <ru...@to...>]

This is a general virtualmin policy question.
I am setting up a new Centos 4.2 server with webmin. Later I will  
host domains on this server using virtualmin & usermin
My mail server of choice is Postfix.
I'm about to setup *my own* mail domain. Should I first setup  
virtualmin and do the mail domain setup as a hosted domain?
Is there any conflict after setting up a mail domain without  
virtualmin, and later adding virtualmin and hosted mail domains?

Hi Ravi,
It sounds like the external server is re-directing to the internal IP,
instead of proxying to it. 
If you look in the Apache config file (usually httpd.conf) for the domain's
<Virtualhost> entry, what does it contain exactly?

Hi Ravi,
There was something I forgot to mention - before you create that virtual
server,
you need to go to the Module Config page and set the 'Allow creation of
forwarding-only websites?' option to 'Yes using frame forwarding'.

[webmin-l] Server Woes.

[Grant P. <gp...@th...>]

Hi all,

I have been wrestling with a near brand new server since February. It 
crashes cold anywhere from 5 hours to 5 days uptime. It is likely a bug in 
the QUOTA system of FreeBSD 6.0, I have disabled quotas and am testing now.

Should those test fail, I want to move the client to another machine that I 
know is OK. I would be going from FreeBSD 6.0  to FreeBSD 5.4. The 
filestructure and layout would be the same.

The question is, do you think copying /etc/webmin and 
/usr/local/webmmin-1.250 from the old machine to the new machine would do 
the trick, strikly from a Webmin operation point of view?

At the moment, there is no built-in way to do this. However, you could create
manually a mail alias that forwards to all users in a domain, and then send to it.

RE: [webmin-l] Backup Problems

[Ravi G. <mai...@ra...>]

I was digging out webmin a bit this afternoon and found out that it actually
keeps all backups at /var/.webmin. I tried to symlink this directory to
another location to use space available in another location but webmin
erases the symlink to recreate the directory on /var.

 

Any clues in how I could point /var/.webmin another location?

I have been running out of space on /var when doing my backups. However I
would assume that the backups need space on /tmp correct? Which is plenty
now. What is going on?

If no one replies to you in here then possibilities are that you are
misunderstanding the workability of things or just being impatient for
someone to answer. Sometimes, if this is indeed a bug, they might be already
aware of it. Another thing, if you didn't pay for virtualmin's support
anyone has any obligation in helping you out. Just a though.

Here's an overview of what was discussed:

I'm having all my files backed up to a folder on my server and I keep
getting 
duplicate backups with what I assume are temp directories that are not
getting 
deleted, as such: 01245748_backup.pl or some such strange thing. This could
be a serious 
hazard as it keeps doing this over and over eating drive space.

I'm using the VirtualMin backup and am using the SSH option to transfer to
another 
server. 

The folder that was created is called "997319_2_backup.pl". This folder
changes from 
day to day. 

I've also noticed that this folder is inside the folder that the files are
supposed to 
be SSHed to. Some of the files that are being backed up are in both folder
with the 
same dates, but different times. The ones in the "997319_2_backup.pl" are
actually 
older (by 20 minutes) than the ones in the root folder. 

Version 1.250 and the backup is set as "Directory of archive files, one per
server"

Jamie,
 
Is there any way around the issue I described below?  I don't understand why
the Firewall module works that way.
 
At the moment, our only solution is to drop the rule entirely and recreate
it, or edit iptables by hand.
 
Thanks

Looking at the code, I see that the "Reject with ICMP code" field appears
for rules that are part of the chains INPUT, OUTPUT, FORWARD.
 
The rules in question are part of a custom chain named "NFS-Input",
therefore the "Reject with ICMP code" field does not appear.

You should be able to use the 'Reject with ICMP code' field to change the

Actually, the problem is not *completely* beyond the scope of Webmin.
 
Everything in our iptables file is hunky-dory until, during our upgrade
process, an 'server iptables save' command is used.  This command appears to
append '--reject-with icmp-port-unreachable' to the end of any REJECT rules
that do not have already have a --reject-with argument.
 
Webmin, it appears, does not provide any way to edit this argument.  When
the rule is changed back to ACCEPT, it maintains the --reject-with argument
even though it no longer applies.
 
I guess this could be considered a Webmin bug, or maybe just a lack of
functionality.
 
Any ideas for a work-around (beyond dropping the affected rules and
recreating them manually)?
 
Thanks

Let's see, 

Line 42: -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -m tcp -m state --dport 25 --state
NEW -j ACCEPT --reject-with icmp-port-unreachable

I must say, that looks odd.  I have no idea where that --reject-with came
from.  Looking at the Webmin Action Logs, the file diffs do NOT show that
being added.

Looks like tehre must be a problem beyond the scope of Webmin. 

Thanks

it would make sense to post the contents of line 42 
in /etc/sysconfig/iptables

Jamie, I can't see anything on that page referring to logrotate
directives. Perhaps I'm going blind, but I've combed through it a dozen
times now.

To be clear, this is the page starting with "Template name... Skeleton
directory for files..."?

On which part of that page do you see logrotate options?

Thanks,

Doug
