Got a problem not covered by the docs? Don't know where to look in the docs or in the forums? All of the other forums over your head? If you're new to Virtualmin, this is the place for you.

email client setup

I hope that this would be simple!

Using Outlook, for example, I have entered the user details:

Name Email Address

Server - pop3 Incoming server - mail.domain.com SMTP - mail.domain.com

London info username name.domain (approved format) password

With smtp, I have it set to authenticate on the same info as pop3.

pop3 incoming seems to work, but smtp doesnt.

I have searched the forums and guides but can find any pointers (I would be surprised if they are not there, somewhere).

what obvious thing have I not/done/wrong!

Joomla (direct) install - can't change file permis

As I wanted to use a joomla quickstart package, I manually loaded the pack onto the server as 'root' (yes, I ftp'd on as root!) and installed it fine. Other install.sh scripts have loaded up as the correct ftp user.

Now I try to add things, I cant - using Joomla's directory permissions indicator, everything is unwritable (755!).

Looking at other posts, I have set PHP script execution to 'FCGId (run as virtual server owner)'. I cant see any reference to suexec, though.

Any suggestions?

DNS issues

I seem to have problems with a domain which I moved across to a new server.

through webin I see the config file has the following: zone "parstrust.co.uk" { type master; file "/var/named/parstrust.co.uk.hosts"; allow-transfer { 127.0.0.1; localnets; }; };

yet when I look for the hosts file I see it at /var/named/chroot/var/named/parstrust.co.uk.hosts

is this correct ?

thanks

Quick question about setting then ssh shell

I can't find the place to set a user's shell. Did it before but have spent an hour looking around for it now.

I guess an associated question is how can I change the dropdown for new user so that there are more than two options, "mail only" and "mail and ftp". I've tried setting "custom shells" under "system customization" but the new options I set up don't appear when I create a new user.

Thanks in advance.

virtualmin-base-1.0-61.rh.noarch) scriptlet failed

Any info would be greatly appreciated. I ran the VirtualMin Installer and it ran great... it got about past 3/4 mark and then kicked back with an error and deleted itself.

I don't know what would cause this. I should have enough memory / so I don't think that is the problem [384mb] The only thing I can think of is: I did run and try to configure a straight Webmin install beforehand and then ran the uninstaller etc/uninstall Any insight as to what I need to clear or get some results to give it another go would be helpful.
