Following my last post I now found out that Webmin does not allow multi virtual servers :-(, BUT there is a module called Virtualmin Virtual Servers (GPL) which is what I need.
To save myself hassle, I installed a compatible OS (CentOS 6 64bit) and simply installed virtualmin from the install.sh command after downloading it:
cd /root wget http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/scripts/install.sh sh ./install.sh
After this my next move was to install csf lfd from configserver.com:
(there is now a new URI for the archive which I changed on 2017-02-08)
wget http://www.configserver.com/free/csf.tgzwget https://download.configserver.com/csf.tgz tar zxvf csf.tgz cd csf sh ./install.sh
Once installed integrate it in Webmin and you’re good to go.
– Install the csf webmin module in:
Webmin > Webmin Configuration > Webmin Modules > From local file > /etc/csf/csfwebmin.tgz > Install Module
Email access problems
All worked well from the word go except SMTP/POP3 (Dovecot) server; I was getting Failed to connect to localhost:143 : Connection refused (as well as port 993,995,110 and 25) when trying to connect either via my email client or usermin.
System Information was reporting that Dovecot IMAP / POP3 Server was offline, and trying to start Dovecot failed:
Starting dovecot: Error: socket() failed: Address family not supported by protocol Error: service(pop3-login): listen(::, 110) failed: Address family not supported by protocol Error: socket() failed: Address family not supported by protocol Error: service(pop3-login): listen(::, 995) failed: Address family not supported by protocol Error: socket() failed: Address family not supported by protocol Error: service(imap-login): listen(::, 143) failed: Address family not supported by protocol Error: socket() failed: Address family not supported by protocol Error: service(imap-login): listen(::, 993) failed: Address family not supported by protocol Fatal: Failed to start listeners
After editing the /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf file and commenting out/insert: listen = * Here is how my edited file looks like:
# A comma separated list of IPs or hosts where to listen in for connections. # "*" listens in all IPv4 interfaces, "::" listens in all IPv6 interfaces. # If you want to specify non-default ports or anything more complex, # edit conf.d/master.conf. #listen = *, :: listen = *
Now, why would Dovecot server come with this line disabled is baffling, anyway, after this, Dovecot starts fine allowing usermin and email clients to connect without problems:
One thought on “Virtualmin Virtual Servers (GPL)”
