Perhaps due to the delay in syncing our mirrors of download.webmin.com ?

You can go to Webmin -> Webmin Configuration -> SSL Encryption to generate a new cert (or request one from Let's Encrypt), and then re-enable SSL.

Re: [webmin-l] Webmin won't start

[TE D. <td...@pa...>]

Thanks, that worked.  Will webmin now start on boot? I commented that line out. Do I need to uncomment it back out after I make the ssl certificate?

Also, the miniserv.pem is in the /usr/libexec/webmin directory.

I haven't made a ssl cert yet. Its on the list.

Again, thanks!!

Re: [webmin-l] Webmin won't start

Thanks, that didn't work for me either until I commented out the ssl=1 line in /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf as Jamie suggested in a later email.

Thanks!!

TE Dukes,

Since I didn’t see you getting anywhere, and it’s pretty dead at work today, I just did a fresh install on CentOS 8 Stream.  It doesn’t start at first, but you can start it from /etc/init.d/webmin after.  Only problem I saw was even minimal install starts firewalld which blocks port 10000 from outside.

Sincerely,

Eric

Looks like your SSL cert file is missing. The work-around would be to edit
/etc/webmin/miniserv.conf and remove the ssl=1 line, then re-try restarting
Webmin.

Re: [webmin-l] Webmin won't start

[Eric T. <eri...@tr...>]

TE Dukes,

Since I didn’t see you getting anywhere, and it’s pretty dead at work today, I just did a fresh install on CentOS 8 Stream.  It doesn’t start at first, but you can start it from /etc/init.d/webmin after.  Only problem I saw was even minimal install starts firewalld which blocks port 10000 from outside.

Sincerely,

Eric

Tried that also:

[root@ts130 ~]# /etc/webmin/start
Starting Webmin server in /usr/libexec/webmin
Failed to open SSL cert /etc/webmin/miniserv.pem
Failed to create default SSL context at /usr/libexec/webmin/miniserv.pl line 284.

I haven't gotten far enough to create the SSL cert. Its been a long time since I installed webmin from scratch on a new system, guessing I do that within webmin. Although, just did a webmin install on a RPI running buster with no problems.

Thanks

That perl module isn't strictly required, as Webmin can still use the
"mysql" command to connect to the database and send queries. However, it's 
less reliable especially when querying complex tables, as Webmin has to
parse the text output from the command.

You can check if it's installed and working by SSHing in as root and running :

perl -e 'use DBD::mysql'

[webmin-l] Warning about missing DBD::mysql module with MariaDB

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

I installed MariaDB 10.6.x on Ubuntu 20.04, from the MariaDB repo.

Webmin can access it, manage it, and so on. After having done a "refresh 
modules" and re-loading the Webmin interface, it also correctly shows 
"MariaDB Databas Server" in the left hand menu.


But on the MariaDB Database Server page/screen, there's a warning 
message displayed:

"Warning: The Perl module DBD::mysql is not installed on your system, so 
Webmin will not be able to reliably access your MariaDB database."

Which is rather odd since it seems to be able to manage all the 
databases, tables, etc. just fine :-)


The "libdbd-mariadb-perl" package is installed.

I have now installed the "libdbd-mysql-perl" package as well, but the 
warning is still there (after a refresh, etc).

[webmin-l] Shorewall module update

[Ivica G. <ivi...@la...>]

Shorewall module for latest stable version 5.2.8 on CentOS7 with Webmin 
1.979 needs big update. Easiest way to solve those constant changes 
would be to put path to configuration files in Configuration For module 
Shorewall Firewall, but since that is not possible at the moment, here 
are list of tables and files that are at the moment obsolete for latest 
version:

/etc/shorewall/tos
This file defines rules for setting Type Of Service (TOS). Its use is 
deprecated, beginning in Shorewall 4.5.1, in favor of the TOS target in 
shorewall-mangle /etc/shorewall[6]/mangle

/etc/shorewall/masq
Support for the deprecated 'masq' file has been deleted. Any existing 
'masq' file will automatically be converted to the equivalent 'snat' 
file /etc/shorewall[6]/snat

/etc/shorewall/routestopped
This file is deprecated in favor of the shorewall-stoppedrules(5) file 
/etc/shorewall[6]/stoppedrules

/etc/shorewall/blacklist
The use of this file is deprecated and beginning with Shorewall 4.5.7, 
the file is no longer installed. Beginning with Shorewall 4.4.25, the 
preferred method of blacklisting and whitelisting is to use the blrules 
file (shorewall-blrules (5)) /etc/shorewall[6]/blrules

/etc/shorewall/route_rules Traffic to be routed to one of the providers 
listed in shorewall-providers is now in file /etc/shorewall[6]/rtrules

Any info about Shorewall module update in Webmin roadmap?

With regards

Re: [webmin-l] iptables not restore upon reboot on Ubuntu 20.04.LTS

Thats why you need to save into those files your rules.

iptables-save > /etc/iptables/rules.v4

ip6tables-save > /etc/iptables/rules.v6

But maybe need to refresh your knowledge and read about nftables
<https://wiki.nftables.org/wiki-nftables/index.php/Moving_from_iptables_to_nftables>.

Iptables is replaced by nftables, but you can use it his commands

Will Webmin support the /etc/iptables/rules.v4 and

Ok, it looks like on Ubuntu 20, a separate package called "iptables-persistent"

There is not. But there is "webmin-ip6tables.service" and 
"webmin-iptables.service".

(and then there are network-pre.target, network.target, and 
networkd-dispatcher.service)

This is a "plain vanilla" Ubuntu 20.04, upgraded from Ubuntu 18.04. But 
I see this also on freshly deployed Ubuntu 20.04 systems.

If you go to System -> Bootup and Shutdown, is there a boot action named

Ubuntu 20.04.LTS servers where Webmin will *not* restore IPTABLES upon 
re-boot.

If I go into Webmin > Networking > Linux Firewall, it says it should 
activate on boot time, but it won't.

I can, naturally, do an iptables-restore < 
/etc/webmin/firewall/iptables.save, but it's not quite as "sexy" ;-)


What am I doing wrong?
