Help! (Home for newbies)

I have a web client that Im hosting, and he has a database of files, they all end in .sims2pack

He wants to set the mime type on his account so that .sims2pack files download in the browser instead of the browser trying to open them.

How is this accomplished using virtualmin?

He tells me that it is possible because the place where he downloads them from brings up a window in his internet explorer program prompting him to either open or save it. He wants the same thing to happen when people try to download the file from his site.

How is this done?

Hi all,

I just purchased downloaded the most recent install.sh and it is informing me that it cannot upgrade an existing virtualmin GPL install.

This is a problem since my clients need full access to change their e-mail accounts.

This effects a server which has not yet gone into production for clients, so it's not a rush item for me. Though an ETA as to when this may be solved would be appreciated.

I have two separate drives mounted in / and /var Virtualmin (GPL) does set user quota for both but group quota only on / is there a reason? also, is there a way to set different quotas for the different partitions maybe in the templates?

I set up bind (9.2.4) to be chrooted in /var/lib/named also, I set up RNDC (all from command line.

I adjusted all values in the bind module config and I can start/stop bind both from the CL and the bind module. Bind module reports the status of bind just fine.

Virtualmin (GPL) on the other hand asks me to start bind, when I do it keeps asking. Also the "System and server status" module reports bind as Down.

Any clue anyone?

I am trying to setup my server to allow some remote users to authentication username and password and all those users to relay. My server is acting weird with the authentication. It will allow the virtualserver users authenticate but not the users under the virtual server. i.e. Domain = example.com Virtual Server User = example User=test@example.com

Please help, ive set up my domain name using virtualmin but it only works when i put www. before it.

please could you tell me how to make it work without the www.

I am trying to get cgi scripts to work from virtual hosts. I thought is was automatically setup with webmin, but when I try to run a script I am getting an Internal Server Error. When I read the suexec log it says "command not in docroot". The suexec docroot is set to /var/www/ and the virtual servers are set to run under /home/virtualserver. If I edit the directives for the site and remove the SuexecUserGroup "#XXX" "#XXX" line the scripts will work, but I assume that is without suexec. I think this is the problem, but all of the config pages that I find for suexec are very vague to me.

I'm a newbie to Webmin and I had a look at the FAQ on setting up subdomains but I couldnt actually follow it. Please can someone point me in the right direction for setting up a subdomain using Virtualmin?

I'm running Virtualmin 2.6.10 along with proftpd 1.2.10 and I am experience an issue where certain files in the user's home-directory are inaccessible. The permissions on the directory impose no limiations so I'm left to think that either webmin, virtualmin or perhaps some other program is moderating file-access in some capacity...? Has anyone any advice?

The directories not showing up are /home/public_html /home/logs /home/cgi-bin

Directories that do show up /home/.usermin /home/homes

Thanks!

I'm using virtualmin and webmin on a SunFire v240 running Solaris 10. I reconfigured the apache module to use the apache 2.0 executables. For some reason it still thinks after the reconfig that its using apache 1.3.xx as "User" and "Group" entries keep ending up in my virtual hosts. I've even tried overriding the apache verion in the module config to say "2.0" but still the "User" and "Group" directives show up. Any idea how to remedy this?

Thank you,

Rob
