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.

Warning phpmyadmin

Hello,

After I setup my first new domain and phpmyadmin I got this warningmessage:

"The mbstring PHP extension was not found and you seem to be using a multibyte charset. Without the mbstring extension phpMyAdmin is unable to split strings correctly and it may result in unexpected results."

My Virtualmin Pro is running on top of CentOS 4.3

Can't get up the Apache Webserver

As into another topic, I added only 2 domains. I could not reached them via another browser. Now I know the problem, the apache server is down. And I can't get it up again. Did a reboot, but with no luck.

When I want to bring it up I get the following error:

"Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 928 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: The address or port is invalid [[FAILED]]"

I really did nothing strange (I come from a Plesk CP and learned not touch any configuration-files of a Linux CP box)

changes dns records

Hello,

I installed virtualmin Pro onto a minimal installation of centos OS. I did give into the CentOS installation an hostname (vm10) and a domainname (anyhost.nl)

When I created my first domain (pesja.be) the creation went nice within Virtualmin Pro, but the website isn't reachable. it must be reachable because I use external dns-servers for this domain so I don't have to wait for the dns-server of virtualmin.

I tried to "ping" them (pesja.be also www.pesja.be), and that command gives the right reply

PreInstallation CentOS (as host for virtualmin pro)

So I took the step and purchase VirtualMin Pro. I like to install this on a CentOS 4.3 server and I want to overcome some issues:

  1. Which type of installation do I choose ? (I think the server installation)
  2. Do I disable the firewall and/or also the SELunix? (Provide Virtualmin a firewall by itselfs)
  3. Do I leave the default options of the server-install of do I check/uncheck other packages as a pre-install OS for Virtualmin Pro? (Beside editor-packages and text-base packages)

Some questions to be sure

Change ssh port Virtualmin backup

hi,

My backup server has another port for the SSH than the standard / default port 22.

Now if i wanna make a backup from Virtualmin to my backup server he still chooses the default port.(22)

Where can i change this...?

I am using Virtualmin v2.604

Cheerz!

(i have seen the new version does have a easier solution but i can't upgrade now)

ProFTPd not being configured by Virtualmin

Hello,

I just installed Virtualmin and when I create a vserver, everything works except FTP using the default settings.

YES, I made sure that /etc/shells contained the right line, but the default config that Virtualmin writes when you make a vserver isn't letting me login.

Is there something I'm missing? All I want is for each vserver admin to be able to FTP to their home directory.

Any hints/suggestions??

Thanks

PHP Permissions

Really pleased with Virtualmin - fantastic bit of software!!!

I have been migrating my sites over to my new server and spotted something odd. I have some sites where I upload files using PHP to a folder in the site. Previously I have had to change the permissions to chmod 757 to accommodate the upload, but 757 now throws up permissions problem on the new server. Changing the chmod to 777 solves the problem.

Real host showing pages for first virtual server

Hi,

I have installed webmin and virtualmin (and I am very impressed) but there is one small problem. My default pages in /var/www/html are no longer being shown when I point my browser to the real machine. Instead the pages for the first virtual server appear?

Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks,

Gary
