Hi, One of the servers I've set up in Virtualmin has some subservers which are aliases for the main server. Up until some time ago, the bandwidth usage was calculated correctly, but since some time ago the usage for the server and subservers is added together, so now I get false usage numbers. What can I do to fix this? Thank you, Patrick van Elk |

If you go to the Bandwidth Usage page and click on the 'Parent and sub-servers' link, does it show any usage at all for your sub-domains? By the way, for alias websites that are created by just adding another ServerAlias entry to the main server's httpd.conf section, there will never be any web bandwidth recorded as they have no separate website.. Instead, it will all accumulate against the parent server. - Jamie |

Hi Jamie, Thank you for your response.

For the problem server, I get something like this: domain.nl limit 5120 usage 208 alias1.nl limit [blank] usage 208 alias2.nl limit [blank] usage 208 alias3.nl limit [blank] usage 208 alias4.nl limit [blank] usage 208 alias5.nl limit [blank] usage 208 alias6.nl limit [blank] usage 208 When I click on domain.nl and go to the 'Parent servers only' page, it reads limit 5120 usage 1455. >By the way, for alias websites that are created by just adding another >ServerAlias entry to the main server's httpd.conf section, there will >never be any web bandwidth recorded as they have no separate website.. >Instead, it will all accumulate against the parent server. > > Yes, that is exactly how it worked before. I now remember I had to make some temporary changes in the httpd.conf for this particular server and undid them a while ago (so everything should be in the same state as when the bandwidth usage was recorded correctly), but now all usage is being recorded for each ServerAlias. Do you have an idea what I could be doing wrong? Bye, Patrick |

Are these aliases created as separate <VirtualHost> sections in httpd.conf, or just as extra ServerAlias lines in the section for domain.nl ? I suspect that it may be the former, which could cause problems .. - Jamie |

This works for another domain, should I recreate the aliases for domain.nl as Alias Servers maybe? Patrick |

Which version of Virtualmin are you running there? I may need to debug this.. - Jamie |

Are you sure those extra servers are actually alias domains? You can tell by clicking on one and looking for the 'Alias of server' field.. Normally alias servers don't even appear on the bandwidth page at all, although you said that they are being (incorrectly) listed. - Jamie |

What I meant to say was, the sub-servers were pointing to the web site of their parent server with a ServerAlias in httpd.conf, but I didn't create them with the Create Alias Server button (now I get an extra VirtualHost with a Redirect). I have recreated all of the domains with 'Create Alias Server' and the bandwidth usage seems to be right! Now I have one domain left which is really not an Alias Server. I will wait and see if the bandwidth usage for this sub-server is correct too... Thank you very much, Patrick |

Unfortunately, it looks as if the bandwidth usage of this server is still wrong. The difference between the bandwidth usage of the parent server and the sub-server was and is constantly 17-18 megabytes over the last two days, I think that is too much of a coincidence...

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.. - Jamie |

Well, the problem is: the parent and the sub-server point to different web sites with different domain names. The chance that both web sites would get _exactly_ the same traffic over a longer period would be extremely small, so I'm thinking the traffic for one site is also added to the traffic of the other...

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 02/11 17:38 702 + 720 = 1422 02/11 20:36 705 + 723 = 1428 03/11 14:14 790 + 808 = 1597 03/11 15:47 800 + 818 = 1617 03/11 18:42 812 + 829 = 1640 03/11 19:04 818 + 835 = 1653 04/11 00:08 820 + 837 = 1657 I hope these are of any use to you.
