Re: [webmin-l] Script Installation in Pro and MYSQL.

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

Hi Faisal,
The proper method is to use the Manage Databases page to add an extra DB for the server first, and then install the script. The new database will be selectable from the list on the script installation page ..

Hi.

I beleive there is an error in how script installation takes place. In the script installer, the user is shown which database to install the script to. 

The problem is, only one database name is shown, which is the default database created at virtualmin server creation. For example for a virtual Server named  foo.com
the database would be foo

And only foo is shown at script installation. This poses a problem when installing multiple scripts. They all install to the same database. This should be changed to automatically setup a NEW database, or ask the user to create a new database BEFORE they install the new script.  

For now, i guess i can manually create a database.

Thanks.
Faisal.

I beleive there is an error in how script installation takes place. In the
script installer, the user is shown which database to install the script to=

The problem is, only one database name is shown, which is the default

And only foo is shown at script installation. This poses a problem when

For now, i guess i can manually create a database.

Re: [webmin-l] Using the Virtualmin Command Line Programs

[Vernon W. <ve...@cw...>]

OK, well I want to do two backups, one with each individual site (to be
backed up to tape on another server) and another complete file for the
daily restore. So I have Virtualmin do the individual backup to one server
that for that purpose. Then I do another backup for the complete file
using the following:

/usr/libexec/webmin/virtual-server/backup-domain.pl --dest
/root/fullbackup/backup_Frodo --all-domains --all-features --ignore-errors

This I use RSnyc to move to a third server that I will do the nightly
restore using:

/usr/libexec/webmin/virtual-server/restore-domain.pl --source
/root/fullbackup/fullbackup/backup_Frodo --all-domains --reuid
--all-features

FWI, I tried using Virtualmin manually as well and got the same thing, so
it is definitely the backup that is corrupt.

No, this is a bug in Webmin .. that field doesn't support groups with
spaces in the names. I will fix this in the next release, by allowing
quoted names like "Domain Users" .

I have a Samba group "Domain Users" I want to make a default secondary

Could you post the versions of Virtualmin and Webmin that you are

Re: [webmin-l] ProFTP and Apache

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

Hi Jamie,
As I upgraded the ProFTP to 1.2.10 I noticed that there isn't any 
PAM on the machine. When I went to install the PAM module I got 
the prompt "module pam does not support this operating system 
(Slackware Linux 10.0). ProFTP requires PAM, good reason I can't 
authenticate. Any suggestions?

Of note, I installed your recent virtual email plugin and walla, owner 
of domain.com can login to webmin and administer only his allowed 
server ( up till then he would log in and view all of webmin with 
rights). including adding email accounts. Great work on the fly!

So all I lack is the ability to ftp websites from an ftp client. Any 
suggestions?

thanks, 
Dan

You are right that the FTP protocol has no way to know what site a 
user
is connecting to, unless they each have separate IP addresses. 
However,
this only matters if you are doing virtual anonymous FTP hosting.. If
you just want to allow domain owners and other users to FTP in to 
manage
files, any FTP server in the default configuration should work fine.

If your users are having trouble logging in, check /var/log/secure or
authlog for error messages .. perhaps they have the wrong shell?

Oh, BTW, since no domain names are listed I have nothing to click on and

The restore need not work. I have a bunch of empty domains, expect one, 
listed under Virualmin all of which have No for every option.

Yes, that would work. Unfortunately, Virtualmin doesn't allow a backup
of a server to have different features enabled from the original, so
there is no way to have the DNS feature turned off on the backup server.
