What is the exact error message you are getting from Webmin here?
I suspect that there is a bug that stops it finding the tar and gunzip commands
due to the .exe extensions :(

I haven't seen this myself .. does downgrading activeperl help (if that is
possible) ?

[webmin-l] Webmin on Windows

[Enrique T. <enr...@gm...>]

Hi all

I've recently installed webmin on a Windows XP OS. I've installed
tar.exe and gunzip.exe and they are in the path, but Webmin can't see
them and I can't install  new modules. What am I doing wrong?


By the way, I have another PC with windows and the same installation
(maybe a newer version of activeperl) and webmin in running incredibly
slow on it. I think somebody has reported something similar here
before. Any ideas of what is happening?

Thanks

That is a good suggestion .. I will have the module set the environment
variables USERADMIN_LDAP_XXX=yyyy , where XXX is an LDAP attribute for the
modified user, and yyyy is the value.

Hi Jamie,

Despite their being an ability to manage IMAP quotas in the Cyrus IMAP
Server module, we would still like to have a hard-coded IMAP quota field
in the LDAP User's and groups module. Otherwise it will be a two step
process for us to create users with IMAP quotas other than the default.

On a related issue, we are using a few custom LDAP fields in the LDAP
Users module but these fields would be much more useful if it was
possible for the post user-creation script to directly access the values
entered into these fields.  It would be useful to be able to specify a
variable for a custom LDAP field that is exported to the post
user-creation script like all the USERADMIN_* ones.  Eg. a custom LDAP
field could be described as below in the module config as

variable	description	$USERADMIN_CUSTOM_VAR1

and the module could parse out the $USERADMIN string if it finds one and
to set the variable to the content of the field.  If the field had
multiple values then it would be up to our post-user creation script to
parse out each value.  This would make the module much more flexible for
us and less likely to need more fields added to the module in the
future.  You may still want to add hard-coded fields in the future for
attributes that all LDAP accounts are likely to need.  

Hope you think these suggested improvements have some merit.

Murray

Re: [webmin-l] Access Contorl to limit period for webmin users.

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

That is a good idea, and should work ..
Do you have the Authen::PAM perl module installed though? Without it,
Webmin will not use PAM, and instead read /etc/shadow directly.

Re: [webmin-l] Access Contorl to limit period for webmin users.

[Chong F. <cho...@gm...>]

Hi Jamie
       I have a idea about this problem. As I know, PAM can control access
time for each use with pam_time.so. Main access control configuration file
is /etc/time.conf.
      I'm try to configure these files:
    - /etc/time.conf
      ....
      ## can't access 00.00-06.00 everyday.
     webmin;*;webminuser;!Al0000-0600
     ....
    - /etc/pam.d/webmin
     ...
     auth    required     pam_time.so
     ....

      However, it's not work. I think I'm wrong in tty type. Any idea?

Thanks

Re: [webmin-l] virtual interface and SSL

Hi,
The only expediant thing I could do was delete the server and 
rebuild it without SSL as mail failed and then Apache failed after 
tinkering. I've since created a live test  server to recreate errors 
(waiting for propagation of the new IP as I type.

Port 80 certainly should work, so it is probably best to try to solve
that problem .. especially since Virtualmin cannot yet convert a 
server
from private IP back to shared.

What exact error message are you getting when you try the port 80 
URL?
Or is it just displaying the wrong website? Also, what does the
<Virtualhost> section header look like?

Hi Enrique,

Port 80 certainly should work, so it is probably best to try to solve
that problem .. especially since Virtualmin cannot yet convert a server
from private IP back to shared.

What exact error message are you getting when you try the port 80 URL?
Or is it just displaying the wrong website? Also, what does the
<Virtualhost> section header look like?

It may be worth investigating the smbpasswd command... Webmin doesn't
actually update smbpasswd directly, instead it runs smbpasswd with the
username and password as parameters, which is then expected to update
the file.

[webmin-l] virtual interface and SSL

[<da...@so...>]

What a wonderful work you guys are doing with webmin, it's power 
continues to grow. Now I don't get into trouble until I experiment with 
undocumented changes ;)

Problem:

In my first attempt to set up SSL virtual websites I failed. Jamie's 
book pointed out that SSL won't work on namebased shared IP. So I 
used Virtualmin to create a virtual IP interface and establish SSL. 
Apache then created another virtual server with port 443 access 
giving two virtual servers ( port 80 and 443) both with the new IP. 
The SSL works great, but port 80 access gives page can't be 
displayed. Mail seems to work fine. I can't find a way to remove the 
virtual Interface from the virtual server and return it to shared as it 
was so that the web at least has access for now.

I then upgraded Virtualmin to 2.610 to no avail. With this exception. 
Now the servers created on Apache show up with a * in the address 
field showing any. I know I shouldn't have experimented on the "live" 
website.

Questions:

--Obviously, why doesn't the port 80 access work?
--How does one remove or change the private IP setting on the 
server? Virtualmin seems to clamp up once it goes private. And 
using network interface module to remove it just shuts the entire 
virtual server down as virtualmin retains the private IP address to 
the server

I'm running Webmin 1.250 and Virtualmin 2.610 on a Slackware 
10.0 server with Apache 1.3.31


thanks for any help,
Dan

That's odd, on my system the size of the popup user chooser window can
be adjusted via the normal bottom-left dragging thingy. This is under
KDE on Linux though..

Good point .. I will consider adding an option somewhere to set the
default size of the various popup windows in Webmin, such as help, the
user chooser, file chooser and so on ..

You could touch it first if you wanted, but you just need to enter 
'hash:/etc/postfix/virtual' into the file area of the postfix 
config.  Replace /etc/postfix/virtual with the name of the file you 
want to use.  Maybe you would prefer /etc/postfix/virtualmap or something.

FWIW, you haven't entirely gone batty.  A lot of things that were once 
in the Module Configuration are now in Server Templates.  This is a good 
thing, but might be confusing if you expect to find it in the old 
location.  It's good because you can now define as many templates as you 
like with various sets of configuration details.  And in case anyone 
hasn't noticed yet, Server Templates are Way Cool(tm).

Re: [webmin-l] postfix > virtual domains > virtualmin

[Joe C. <jo...@sw...>]

You're probably missing the type of map file.

The map field should contain "hash:/etc/postfix/virtual" or something 
similar (hash is the type of map, and is the default type for most 
postfix map fils).

[webmin-l] postfix > virtual domains > virtualmin

[stefan <st...@fu...>]

Hello all,

I have just done a fresh debian 3.1 installation with webmin and virtualmin.
When I want access to virtualmin and do "re-check and refresh configuration"
 I get the error :

"     No virtual domains file was found in your Postfix configuration. Mayb=
e=20
no virtual domain map has been defined.

=2E. your system is not ready for use by Virtualmin."

okay, so I went to postfix and want to add an mapping.
Then Iget the error:

"Error while saving a mapping : No map file defined"

I googled around but could not find a solution for it.

Can someone help?

I haven't lost my mind.. I've just lost my way around in Webmin... Found

When is the next release due out?

In case that it isn't out before I have to release our production version,
what are the help files that are misnamed (I am assuming this has something
to do with configuration settings changing names between postfix releases)?
