New Virtualmin virtual-server module version 3.45

Howdy all,

I've rolled out version 3.45 of the Virtualmin virtual-server module (yesterday, actually, but other stuff was going on in the repositories, too, that needed to get finished before announcing it). This is the biggest Virtualmin upgrade in over a year, with dozens of bugfixes and changes (Jamie has outdone himself).

Here's the list of changes since 3.44:

[ul] [li]Updated phpBB script installer to allow a choice of the 3.0 and 2.0 versions.[/li] [li]Updated the Drupal script installer to versions 5.2 and 4.7.7, DokuWiki to 2007-06-26b, WordPress to 2.2.2, WebCalendar to 1.1.3, Gallery to 1.5.7, PHPMyAdmin to 2.11.0, phpScheduleIt to 1.2.8, Flyspray to 0.9.9.3, Bugzilla to 3.1.1, and PHP-Nuke to 8.0.[/li] [li]Added an option on the Edit Owner Limits page to prevent use of the HTML editor.[/li] [li]Added a script installer for the PostNuke CMS.[/li] [li]AWstats statistics are now included in cPanel migrations.[/li] [li]The real name of a virtual server's Unix user is updated when the server's description is changed.[/li] [li]Added a link from the Mail Aliases page to manually edit aliases in a domain using a text box. This makes bulk changes and copies simpler.[/li] [li]Removed the batch alias creation page, as it has be superceded by manual alias management.[/li] [li]Migrated cPanel users with forwarding have email also delivered to their inbox, to maintain consistency with cPanel.[/li] [li]Added a script installer for the Movable Type blogging platform.[/li] [li]When an existing database is imported to a virtual server, the MySQL or PostgreSQL permissions to it are properly granted. Similarly, when a database is dis-associated, permissions to it and directory group permissions are properly removed.[/li] [li]In the Server Templates section, separate template php.ini files can be specified for PHP versions 4 and 5.[/li] [li]Added --alias, --toplevel, --subserver and --subdomain parameters to list-domains.pl to limit output.[/li] [li]Added the Excluded Directories page for entering directories not to include in backups for a virtual server.[/li] [li]Updated the modify-domain.pl script to allow excluded directories to be managed with the --add-exclude and --remove-exclude parameters. Also updated list-domains.pl to show exclusions.[/li] [li]When enabling or disabling proxying for a domain, existing Apache directives are no longer re-generated from the template.[/li] [li]Added a new tab to the Script Installers page under System Settings to send daily emails to domain owners, resellers or the master administrator notifying them of scripts that have new versions available.[/li] [li]Re-factored the code in all script installers that extracts ZIP and TAR archives to better check for domains that are out of disk quota, to prevent partial installs.[/li] [li]Added an option to the form for backing up a single virtual server to download the resulting file in the browser, rather than saving it to a file or sending to an SSH or FTP server.[/li] [li]The button to stop or restart ProFTPd is always displayed in the right frame, even if private IP-based FTP is not enabled.[/li] [li]Added a field to the Website Options page to set the number of PHP sub-processes used for service fCGId requests. A default for this can also be set in the Server Templates section, and the setting can be changed for multiple domains at once on the Update Virtual Servers.[/li] [li]Added the --php-children parameter to the modify-web.pl command-line script, to change the number of PHP fCGId sub-processes. The current setting is also displayed in list-domains.pl.[/li] [/ul]

Also new is that I've fully converted the Debian and Ubuntu software repositories to use Secure Apt features. Thus, the repositories are now all signed. I'll post about this in the next news item, including instructions for how to make use of the repositories now that they are signed.<br><br>Post edited by: Joe, at: 2007/08/29 07:52
