File manager issues

SYSTEM INFORMATION
OS type and version AlmaLinux 9.7
Webmin version 2.630

i am having problems deleting folders to trash, “unable to delete - no such file or directory”, works ok if i change settings to not move to trash
i have another server with the exact same software and that moves to trash ok, i’m missing something :roll_eyes:

also can’t edit .cgi files on this box but can on the other one

cheers

I think that probably indicates the temp directory configured in Webmin either doesn’t exist or is not writable.

it was 755 so set to 777 but still same probs

also can’t edit .shtml & files ending in a tild

/tmp/.webmin keeps reverting to 0755, i tried 1777 but changes back after trying to delete a directory
that can’t be the cause though as the other servers tmp is 0755 & that has no issues

Works fine for me, do you a error/warning/message?
Only thing I notice it doesn’t detect its a html file and reverts to plain text

i mean i can’t open it to edit, only view

Yeah that edit mode. Sound like a permissions issue, are you logged in as root?

on all my machines i create a user with root privs then delete root user, on webmin

i can delete anything with trash option turned off

if i change the file extension from .cgi .shtml or others to .txt or .old or similar i can then edit
