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.

Perl Modules

Hi Joe,

Was about to install Perl module Authen::PAM when I saw "The following Perl modules are recommended for installation by Webmin :" which hade three modules highlighted, Authen::PAM, Authen::Libwrap and IO::Tty

Does this mean that I should install the recommended(highlighted) modules?

Regards, Leif

ProFTPD not running

I installed virtualmin on a clean server running under CentOs. The install went smoothly and everything is working except ProFTPD. At first I got this error No Such group 'nogroup' Fatal: Group: Unknown group 'nogroup' on line 27 of /etc/proftpd.conf

I added a nogroup to my list of users. The error has gone away, but ProFTPD is never running and refuses to start. I can't find anything in the logs as to why. The are no error logs to report.

After working with trying to find out why, I got this message

proftpd dead by subsys locked etc/rc.d/init.d/proftpd

Auto-Deploy Files w/Account Creation

I was wondering if someone coudln't verify or clarify the necessary steps to automatically deploy certain files with each account creation. Specifically, I want to deploy a hardlink to php-fcgi in fcgi-bin/ along with a default index.html in public_html/

I looked to /etc/skel expecting I would see the default template there but the directory is empty. Is it necessary to recreate the files like fcgi-bin/ and public_html/ in order for files to be properly placed when accounts are created?

Is there a directory where virtualmin stores its own default account template?
