webmin: overview on the created vhosts lack some servers that are up and running

[tarifa]

hello dear experts,

 

the issue: webmin: overview on the created vhosts lack some servers that are up and running

 

here some data: 

Apache Webserver
Apache version 2.4.25    
Webmin version    1.910 
Theme Royal Blue

The issue :  i have some vhosts that run - and which created domains are available over http:  

but they  are not visible in the vhost-overview?! 

why is this so!?

look forward to hear from you 

 

by the way - see here an unsorded and not_yet_verrified list of possible reasons for the malfunction and the bad behaviour i have encountered here

 

see the following thread https://www.virtualmin.com/node/45327   Re-check configuration throws an Apache virtual host was not found 

You can discover which domain is missing it's Apache virtual host by SSHing in as root and running :
 

virtualmin validate-domains --all-domains --feature web

Apache virtual host was not found happens when you have a website in /etc/webmin/virtual-server/domains/ 
that does not exist in apache configs (e.g. may caused by IP/PORT mismatch). You may check your domains there and see what is wrong.

 

Howdy -- we may want to verify that your Apache version is what Virtualmin is expecting, and that the config files are in the correct directory.
What is the output of these commands:
dpkg -l apache2
ls /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/

dpkg -l apache2
ls /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/

 

futhermore:  see the following thread: https://www.virtualmin.com/node/5878

When i add a new virtual server i receive the following error: Adding Apache user apache to server's group .. .. done

Apache website failed! : Undefined subroutine &main::save_domain_ruby_mode called at /usr/libexec/webmin/virtual-server/feature-web.pl line 1856.

when i check apache, the virtualhost is created and running, but when managing the virtual server "Web virtual server enabled?" is not checked.
 When i try to delete the server, everything is removed with exception of the the apache virtualhost. The above error prevents virtualmin from "remembering" that the virtualhost exists.

added web_ruby_suexec=-1 to the templates.

Now its complaining that httpd is not running.

Applying web server configuration .... not running!

anwer: Have you started apache? Maybe your stopped it for some reason and forgot to start it again.

well this seems to be an annoying bug - and i have encountered this malfunction and bad behaviour several times in the past years. 

 

conclusio: any idea how to fix it!? How would you proceeed. 

Note i have no console- or terminal-access to the server.
