Hello,

@sparticle1

Can you advise please as I cannot find a file called list_redirects.cgi

find /usr/share -name list_redirects.cgi

This is a known and a solved issue:

Two perl errors in new 7.3 version

Hello, Thanks for the heads up. @Jamie, check this patch out, as this is a bug: If you edit /etc/webmin/config file and add to it error_stack=1, and re-visit Suggested DNS Records page, what output do you get?

[sparticle1]

Hello,

Thank you for this.
I have hacked the two files and amended to escape the braces.

I assume this is fixed in the next release.

Cheers

How do I get this fix as I don’t see it in my current version. Also my error path is different

Edit line 20 in /usr/libexec/webmin/virtual-server/list_redirects.cgi to

 $dest =~ /^(http|https):\/\/%\{HTTP_HOST\}(\/.*)$/) {

Two extra backslashes inserted.
{HTTP_HOST} edited to \{HTTP_HOST\}

Thanks, just to tidy up for anyone else reading this thread you’ll also need to add the same escapes in line 39 of /usr/libexec/webmin/virtual-server/edit_redirects.cgi. Thus it becomes as below

 $r->{'dest'} =~ /^(http|https):\/\/%\{HTTP_HOST\}(\/.*)$/) {
