Debian 4 (etch) install probleme

Hi everyone
I have some issues with my Virtualmin
I have instaled it on a server in january for my boss, a debian 4.0 (etch) with fresh install and update. I use the scripte provided at software.virtualmin.com/glp/scripts/install.sh evrything work fine. Config file was automaticaly instaled

I have to made a new server with the same configuration.
but when i install virtualmin i have some problem

  <div class='quote'>BIND DNS server is installed, and the system is configured to use it.

  A problem was found with your Postfix virtual maps : No map sources were found in the Postfix configuration

… your system is not ready for use by Virtualmin.

Scott (sgrayban) help me with this

Configure postfix -- you haven't done that yet.

You are missing…
virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/mailboxes
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases

after configuring postfix i do a recheck i get this

BIND DNS server is installed, and the system is configured to use it.
  Mail server Postfix is installed and configured.

  Suexec is enabled in the default template, but the Apache module mod_suexec is not installed or not enabled.

… your system is not ready for use by Virtualmin.

the configuration of my box is :
debian 4.0 etch 64 bits
1GB for /boot in extend3
1GB for swap
and 746GB for / in reiserfs
it is a dual core with 2GB of RAM

i do this for apache

a2enmod suexec

after that i get

BIND DNS server is installed, and the system is configured to use it.
  Mail server Postfix is installed and configured.

  Suexec is enabled in the default template, but the Apache module mod_suexec is not installed or not enabled.

… your system is not ready for use by Virtualmin.

I take it you have never used linux before? Or debian?

Try ‘apt-cache search suexec’

Or even better – edit your apache2 installed modules through webmin.

But seriously no one here is going to walk you through setting a up a server when its clear you have never done it. Most of us old timers will want to be paid for our time and knowledge.

check passed i have need to do a
/etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload
and after that i need to do
/etc/init.d/apache2 reload
and i get

BIND DNS server is installed, and the system is configured to use it.
  Mail server Postfix is installed and configured.

  Apache is installed.

  Webalizer is installed.

  MySQL is installed and running.

  Logrotate is installed.

  Using network interface eth0 for virtual IPs.

  Default IP address for virtual servers is 91.121.80.109.

  Quotas are not enabled on the filesystem / which contains home directories under /home and email files under /var/mail. Quota editing has been disabled.

  Shell /bin/false for FTP users is not included in /etc/shells, which may prevent FTP access.

  All commands needed to create and restore backups are installed.

… your system is ready for use by Virtualmin.

Updating all Webmin users with new settings…
… done

i have instaled many server with debian most from scratch with no admin panel
my problem is why one month ago a i can have a server instaled with nothing to do for configuring. and now i need to do evrything.

I use webmin because i don’t have the time to dev my own panel

Ps: excuse me for my bad english i’am french and i don’t have many occasion to write in this language.

Thanks.

See this thread:

http://www.virtualmin.com/forums/news/installer-issues-due-to-new-webmin-versions.html

Actually, to be clear…don’t see the thread: Just see the very first post in that thread.

virtualmin-base was broken by the new Webmin version, leading to no configuration being done. That problem has been fixed, and you need to reinstall the virtualmin-base package to make configuration happen correctly.

ok, i will use thi procedure for installing a new virtualmin.

install a new debian server
update it
download and run the install.sh
dpkg -e virtualmin-base
apt-get install virtualmin-base

and everything will be fine?

if i do something wrong say it :slight_smile:

i have made all y say in the post above but it don’t work

first i run

dpkg -r virtualmin-base
it don't work but it's normal

when i go in webmin
and i check i have it

BIND DNS server is installed, and the system is configured to use it.
  A problem was found with your Postfix virtual maps : No map sources were found in the Postfix configuration

… your system is not ready for use by Virtualmin.

try this:
1- in webmin go "Servers" >> "Apache Webserver" >> "Global Configuration" >> "Configure Apache Modules"
2- then make sure that there is a check in "suexec", also check "actions" (as webmin might complain about this one next)
3- then click "Enable Selected Modules" at the bottom of the page
4- then re-check and refresh virtualmin configuration

that is all i had to do to get mine working

The error is:

A problem was found with your Postfix virtual maps : No map sources were found in the Postfix configuration

It has nothing to do with bind or apache or anything else.

Google will help you with this error.
