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.

Is there a way to prevent public access to a sub-server?

Yup...just setup a Virtual Server and a Sub-Server under that VS. What I'd like to know is if I can prevent access outside of my network to that sub-server?

Main site: www.example.com which is public facing on ns1.example.com Home Directory: /home/username

Sub-Server: subserver.example.com Home Directory: /home/username/domains/subserver.example.com

Basically, the content in the sub-server's public_html file would be a static website containing information that only a few people would be permitted to access.

Imported virtualhost and can't change name of home directory

I had already several virtualhost with nginx running when I installed Virtualmin

Therefore I went to Add Server->Import Virtual Server 1) Is this the correct approach?

2) But then I let the default home directory, which I realised it is not the directory where I have my site

Then later I went to Server Configuration->Change Domain Name to change the home directory to my current directory and I get

Failed to change domain name : New home directory already exists

Apache template website with template MySQL database

Hi, strange question but is it possible to make a template/skeleton for a newly created domains so it can also create certain file structure already inside public_html folder - for example all files for Wordpress installation and also template MySQL database with certain structure? (and not via Virtualmin WP script installation, I have my own preloaded with certain tweaks/modules/customisations). Thank you!

Apache goes down every few days

Hello all,

I try to figure out why apache goes down every few days. I'm on Digital Ocean with Ubuntu Linux 16.04.3, Webmin version 1.872 and Virtualmin version 6.02. The last 3 weeks apache stops about every week and I have to start it again. My installation is clean, I have not added or changed anything. The most extreme thing I did is to increase space on digital ocean. What I can see on apache error log is:

Amazon S3 backup fails without any specific errors.

Hi,

Operating system : Ubuntu Linux 14.04.5 Virtualmin version : 5.04.gpl Webmin version : 1.821

I noticed that the Amazon S3 backup fails for one of my specific virtual domains , but there are no specific errors in the backup log, there is just a mention that the backup for that domain failed (backup is marked as partially successful)

Is there any log file i could check for additional details?

'Jailed' sftp user setup with Webmin?

I know enough Linux sysadmin to be dangerous but not enough to be reliably safe. :(

I have a new 16.04 VPS and have just installed webmin. I would like to setup a sftp user, william, via webmin who is allowed to write under /home/websitename/htdocs/ via SFTP and not cause problems with apache reading the files, which are all right now owned by www-data:www-data. Basically, they are designers and content folks, and this is a Joomla site. This should coexist with my developers having ssh access.

virtualmin Setting Up Virtual Host error

Hello, I've just installed a freshly new virtualmin on ubuntu and upon virtual host creation I see the following error:

Performing other Apache configuration .. .. configuration failed : Failed to copy /etc/php/7.0/cgi/php.ini to /home/domains/domain.com/etc/php7.0/php.ini : cp: preserving times for '/home/domains/domain.com/etc/php7.0/php.ini': Operation not permitted

Any particular reason why this issue occurs? Thanks!
