[webmin-l] upgrade problem still

[Cory <co...@di...>]

Ok so here is the situation again...

I can not upgrade or update my webmin from within webmin...the only way =
i can do this is to download a tar file and install from the konsole.  I =
have tried every suggestion that has been thrown at me previously.  It =
looks like a webmin configuration problem and yet i seem to be the only =
one having it.  Firewalls on or off doesnt help.

when i click on the upgrade button it acts like it wants to download but =
it returns an error message can not downgrade...this caught me because i =
have 1.210 installed and i am trying to go to 1.240 so i am not sure why =
it says it is a downgrade. =20

Any other suggestions would be great.

Cory

P.S.  I did happen to buy "Managing Linux Sstems with WEBMIN" by Jamie =
Cameron  so far it seems to be a very good book for me to learn from

Re: [webmin-l] Third Party modules not accessible!

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

Hi everyone,

The problem is that sourceforge has switched  to a new database server, but I didn't know about this until they had shut down the old server. Unfortunately they didn't migrate the third-party modules data, so it is currently stuck in the old database which is now in-accessible :-(

I have emailed them asking for a dump of the old database, which they say is available. However, I'm still waiting for a response .. hopefully I should hear something on Monday california time.

Maybe we should think about a strategy to mirror the third-party-modules as=
=20
well as the main webmin page?
I would kindly volunteer on this issue.

I remember Jamie saying that getting the TPM into the core webmin design=20
would be one of the next steps, but this is some months ago.

Who is maintaining TPM anyway? I think it is a great ressource.

Thanks! I don't need anything right now, but from time to time I like to
check what's new ;)

In any case, one way to go is to do a search in sourceforge using webmin
as the search word. that will give you tons of results (but not as neat as
the way that third party modules work).

Ok, I'll give you that one - but only if you let me in on the secret

simply looking at it. ;)

I have been trying for the longest time to setup clustering and every time I do I get 
the following error message: Invalid RPC login to 192.168.0.11

Any ideas on what's going wrong? I have portmap running (which I think is what I need

Yes but if the zone file's last modified time is later than the serial

[webmin-l] Virtualmin Custom Link v1.5

[Vernon J. S. <ve...@ve...>]

Finally I have taken the time to release this version. I am sorry it took so
long to come out. I was stuck playing a game and still looking for
employment.

A quick description of Virtualmin Custom Link v1.5
A very simple module for people that already have a website or a specific
location configured some where on there server aka like Squirrel Mail or an
entirely separate site. But they do not want to release the information of
it's where about. This module works a lot like the Custom Links V1.0 but it
doesn't take you to another page. Instead opens a new page with no toolbar
on the browsers. And has a portion where you can put in a message or a
disclaimer. The Older version is still available for download.

I am still accepting ideals for new 3rd party modules for Virtualmin.

Sure! These are the numbers I recorded until now, the format is date - 
time - usage parent - usage sub-server - website traffic.

02/11 16:51 693 + 711 = 1403

Re: [webmin-l] duplicating changes accross webmin servers {Scanned}

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

Hi Matt,
Unfortunately there is no way to duplicate configurations like this on a general basis from Webmin. It can be done in some areas (like firewalling, printers, users and packages) using the various cluster modules though..

The best solution would be to set up a Cron job that uses rsync to copy across the important files on a regular schedule. Of course, you would have to be careful to only duplicate files that have no reference to the hosts' names or IP addresses in them.

Hi,

Is it posible to get webmin to duplicate ALL changes made to one server 
to other clustered servers? basicly i want to be able to have 2 servers 
running, and any changes made on one by webmin will be mirrored into the 
second server, without having to start using rsync etc.

Is it posible to set webmin to force changes on other servers outside of 
the normal cluster controls? e.g. changes made to alises would be 
dublicated, as well as changes made by virtualmin, and other modules
Posibly using the webmin logging system to allow future webmin and 
custom modules to be configured for this without having to re-write 
anything?

Many thanks
Matt

Hi Carlton,
Have you had a look at the Webmin Actions Log module? It actually does a
lot of these things, such as recording what files were changed, when and
how as part of each action. Plus it can be set up to allow file
rollbacks too!

Could you post the contents of the bandwidth graph page again, showing
the parent and sub-servers? I want to take a look at the actual
numbers..

Sure .. I will build an RPM for 1.243, which will be available in about
18 hours.

That's a nice idea .. I will add an option for this in the next Webmin
release.

[webmin-l] Timestamp in config files - was Re: BIND serial number style suggestion

[Carlton T. <ca...@gi...>]

Good idea adding the date/time based serial number to BIND config files.
But, as Danny said, what would be more useful is getting Webmin to show
the last modification time of the files.

That brings me on to an idea I had some time ago but never got round to
posting. I feel it would be very useful to have Webmin/Virtualmin add
timestamps to all configuration files that are created or changed.
These can be added in as comment lines where possible and if the file
structure does not permit comments, then maybe a supplementary file
could be created and comments added to that instead.

The date timestamp could include other useful information such as the
name of the Webmin user who made the change(s) and where possible, an
indication of the change(s) made.

These timestamp comments could be left in the files and would provide
a change history. It would also be nice to have a "show-change-history"
feature in all Webmin modules which create/modify system config files.
I know that it is possible to check the Webmin logs and glean most of
this information, but there is nothing like having it there in black
and white while you are looking at the file.

OK, my dream is to have a config management system built into Webmin
which would allow rollback of changes and other change management
goodies, but, like I said, thats just a dream.

Regards !
