Hello team,
please do not remove file manager from virtual servers whatever might be the options selected in enabled feature screen or at least provide a way to enable them from some config.
sites with proxy enabled are missing file manager
Deja vu.
Is this related.
hey @calport unfortunately this is not related,
@Ilia whenever you’ve some time could you please advise how to manually enable it through configuration files?
Specifically, I’d like to understand:
Any guidance or documentation you can point me to would be greatly appreciated.
as always thank your for your support and hard work on the project!

@Ilia just to confirm for other people that see this thread, I am guessing there is no intention to remove the file manger and this is just an issue with the OP’s setup.
thanks
Yes, it should be specific to OP’s system. We aren’t going to disable File Manager.
@Ilia thanks for the response, although it’s not a permission issue as for some of the sites without proxy setup (proxying to docker container), file manager is visible
but for others specifically with proxy configured it’s missing have tested this by disabling proxy but the file manager still remains missing (guessing this behavious is previously true for some verison but now stuck in virtual server config somewhere)
for mainsite.com (file manager shows up just fine)
for other site on same server sub.mainsite.com (file manager is not present)
the issue persist even after migrating the affected virtual server to a new blank virtualmin server setup.
What do you mean by “disabling proxy”'?
@Ilia from disabling proxy simply means to turning off proxy settings under Website Configuration > Edit Proxy Website
also was able to reporduce the issue on latest version of virtualmin as well (upgraded to latest version from 7.30.4 to 7.50.2 GPL & fresh install as well)
steps to reproduce:
enable proxy from above screen
restart webmin using systemd (was not doing this previously which gave the false impression that the issue is not present in the latest version)
result: the file manager will be gone from the virtual server that have proxy enabled.
Thanks for the details! You’re right—it doesn’t make sense not to show the File Manager link when the proxy is enabled.
You can use this patch to fix your problem:
webmin patch https://github.com/virtualmin/virtualmin-gpl/commit/5ecfcca
Thanks so much, @Ilia 
Really appreciate the quick response and the patch link. I’ve applied the fix and can confirm it resolves the issue, File Manager is now showing correctly even with proxy enabled.
Grateful for the quick turnaround and for all the continued work you and the team put into Virtualmin. 
Thanks again!
