that’s what you can do under webmin - webmin - Webmin Users - Create a new Webmin user. - Available Webmin modules, then click the modules you want me to look at.
Yea I was just looking at that, was about to say found it. There so many mods I didn’t know which ones to allow. I’m accessing from my iPhone right know and using, I guess the mobile skin/template and connection here is not at the best.
I also have a copy of the MX records needs to be add to the mail settings. I tried them but I most of been doing something wrong cus the didn’t work right. On that record I have a CNAME line setting and I don’t thing I have any CNAME setting on my server, so I left that part out and some is not right. I’ll email u that too.
Will post back in a few
Here is an update, in case anyone has been following this post.
Thx to ronald, Virtualmin is is installed and is running as it should. There are a few things that still aren’t working and one still is the mail part of the server but it appears that it is something that it has to do with ether my ISP blocking some ports or who knows what. I DO receive emails from outside my local network, the problem is that I keep getting a time out when trying to send out mail.
I Use Verizon FiOS as my ISP and they said, the don’t block port 25, because they instead use port 465 (they said the switch from port 25 to port 465 for security reasons). Internally, all works great but I still have to get this to work because I have few scripts that need to send emails to users after they register or I case they need to activate or recuperate a password.
Port 25 is open (at least I think it is) beside that I did a Port Triggering:
Protocol - SMTP - Outgoing Trigger Ports - TCP Any -> 25 Incoming Ports to Open - TCP Any -> Same as Initiating Ports
If I telenet mail.boricua.com 25 here is what I get:
~$ telnet mail.boricuavps.com 25
Trying xxxxxx.xxx.xxx…
Connected to mail.boricuavps.com.
Escape character is ‘^]’.
220 ns1.boricuavps.com ESMTP Postfix (Ubuntu)
after about 2 minutes, I get this other message:
421 4.4.2 ns1.boricuavps.com Error: timeout exceeded
Connection closed by foreign host.
Other things that don’t work for me at the moment:
- I have a guest book script that uses ‘Image verification’ to allow posting to the guest book, but for some reason the server wont show the images.
- I can only access FTP from LAN not WAN port 21 is open pointing to the server internal IP.
the good news is that I could successfully connect to your mailserver over port 25 this time.
also you need to telnet to a mailserver outside your LAN something like: mail.virtualmin.com
You may want to install php-gd for the images
FTP port 21 may be the same issue as the mail.
The router needs to understand to what LAN ip it needs to send the data over through port 21
Yea I should edit the post last night. I did installed the php-gd I had totally forgot the name if that sw, so that part is working. Damm router and damm ISP making my life more complicated lol.
I send emails to myself from gmail to the server and the worked just fine, the problem still in the sending of emails. It may just be a router miss-config thing. Hay hay hay.
I wish you can just change the outgoing port for sending emails in postfix that would be easier.
-
Well I installed php-gd and so that part is working.
-
FTP works as well, all I had to do was go to: Webmin -> Servers -> ProFTPD Server -> Denied FTP Users and remove root from that list, now I can access the FTP from a WAN.
-
Mail Server NOT SENDING outside mail (only works locally) but DOES RECEIVES mail locally and externally. I have not given up on the mail server yet tho.
I did Found a way to send mail using google relay (which I will post later) but then I can’t receive mail lol
BTW here is what I get when I telnet mail.virtualmin.com
me@ns1:~$ telnet mail.virtualmin.com 25
Trying 108.60.199.107…
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out
me@ns1:~$ telnet mail.virtualmin.com 465
Trying 108.60.199.107…
Connected to mail.virtualmin.com.
