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.

CentOS 5.2, VirtualMin 3.62.gpl, Cannot send mail

I just installed VirtualMin 3.62.gpl on a CentOS 5.2 box using the installer script. Everything appears to be working great except the fact that I cannot send email through my server using a mail client such as Thunderbird or Windows Mail.

When I try to send an email, I get the following error in my maillog.

Oct 21 11:14:47 pdx postfix/smtpd[11266]: warning: SASL authentication failure: Password verification failed

Newbie question about webmin users and perms

Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere in the documentation. I could not find specific answers to these questions elsewhere.

I have created a webmin user, and restricted access to a handful of modules. I would like to know if a webmin user can be restricted to their unix UID/GID when using certain modules. Specifically, the File Manager and Command Line module. Despite setting up Global ACL, I still seem to have root access to the filesystem via these two modules, with any login.

Thank you in advance.

Virtualmin install has messed up our packages

Hi, Today I hit a real problem. I needed to install httpd-devel on my CentOS 5.2. Easy enough, or at least it was:- yum install httpd-devel

Error: Missing Dependency: httpd = 2.2.3-11.el5_1.centos.3 is needed by package httpd-devel

Seems that installing Virtualmin gave me their version of httpd:- httpd-2.2.3-11.el5.3vm

Removing this looks like it's going to be hell:-

Wildcard Certs: Create Virtual Server Fails

I have a wildcard cert and tried to add the sub-server "team.fatbear.com" to fatbear.com which has a private IP address and got the error message:

Failed to modify server: The IP address is already used by virtual server fatbear.com

I did note that when creating the virtual sub-server (as the Virtualmin administrator), that the IP address and forwarding showed the shared IP address by default. Since I have a wildcard cert, I changed this to the private IP address already established for fatbear.com and checked the Already active button.

Scheduled backup tries to backup deleted MySQL dbs

Yesterday I was playing with some install scripts which also created MySQL databases. After playing i removed the scripts. All dbs are removed, they are no longer visibile in ¨edit databases¨ or PHPMyAdmin. But now the virtualmin backup procedure still tries to backup those removed dbs. Log excerpt:

Dumping MySQL database clydewaal_phpsupport .. .. dump failed! mysqldump: Got error: 1049: Unknown database 'clydewaal_phpsupport' when selecting the database

How does the backup procedure create the list of databases to backup?
