Thanks for the reply. Yes, I can create folders manually just fine from the Virtualmin server from the command line and even with my SFTP software, it seems its Virtualmin itself that just can´t.
I was looking how or where to enable a log at all, as the error was not very helpful. So thank you on that. I will turn it on and try again as I was looking how to enable some logs for debugging.
Yes, the NFS share is on another server. I don´t see the point otherwise I would just use the local drives. How did you exactly created the NFS share? In the same server?
I was so frustrated with this that I actually created a full new NFS server just to discard any problems from my current NFS share, and I had exactly the same problem with the same errors, and this new NFS server had only 2 things on it. CentOS 6 minimal, Virtualmin. Absolutely nothing else. Got the same errors.
I have not looked into the user/group problem yet, because I did not even came that far. I know Apache with the correct ID and usergroup also exists in the NFS server, they both have ID 48 and root of course ID 0. Even when I would assumed I would have this problem along the road when starting services. Im not even that far, since I can´t even create the files for a single virtual server, and I assume Virtualmin users “root” for this, which can access the NFS share fine.
No email, no extra services, I just want to setup a website in the share.
Let me turn on logging and I will reply back with further info to see what is going on. Which version of Virtualmin did you used for your tests by the way? And which Linux OS where you using? Both in the Virtualmin server, and in the NFS export?
I only mounted /home in the Virtualmin server to the NFS share, as this is where its creating the files. I know I will have to mount some other folders in the future for Apache to work, but I was not even that far yet.
