Hi!

We need a system administrator with excellent skills on Apache,Linux,
Virtualmin and Webmin.

We are running Debian 4.0 on our server and have the following installed:
- Virtualmin
- Webmin

a)
First, you need to configure Usermin properly. This is the error we are getting:
'Failed to connect to localhost:143 : Connection refused'

Also something must be wrong, since we receive email in Gmail, but not in some other mail accounts, for example ( sapo.pt )

So you must configure the mail server. I believe is 'Postfix Mail Server'.

You will also have to give us the configure settings so we can set up outlook ( or windows live mail ) on our home PC's.

b)
Apache mod-security is installed, however is not working! I made a simple test and it's not blocking anything!

c)
Also we're having this Apache error when I try to upload big files:
'Request Entity Too Large The requested resource does not allow request data with POST requests, or the
amount of data provided in the request exceeds the capacity limit'.

This error is NOT related to PHP configurations; it's related to Apache configurations and has something to do with 'LimitRequestBody'.
We need to be able to upload file up to 16MB, so make sure you set it up accordingly.

d)
htaccess rules are not recursive! And we want them to be.

For example, if I set on the user home dir an htaccess with:
order deny,allow
allow from 255.255.255.255
deny from all
Then in all subdirectories ( domains / sub-domains ) will only accept
connections from the mentioned IP, all other will be blocked.

h)
On our previous server and on some other hosts, we were able to write to files
(for example with PHP) without having to chmod the files first.
Now we cannot, and files are required to be chmoded properly so I can write to
them.

We cannot even touch() a file with PHP, it always come with an error.
We don't want to chmod the all thing, all we want is to change the
configurations (or whatever) so we can fwrite() or file_put_contents() normally.
Is there any way to have these permissions removed without the chmod workaround?
We believe there is a way, so you must set up that. But remember, our PHP
modules and features must stay intact!

i)
This is a private server, we only have 2 main virtual hosts and then each
virtual host has various sub hosts.

-----

We need this done as soon as possible and with no or almost none impact on the
web site already running on that server.

As you can see these are small fixes that need to be applied. Everything else on
the server is working and as I said, we even have a live site on it ( we have
blocked all the other sites from the public, or we have not transfer the files
yet. )

Please bid only if you have experience on dedicated servers, and if you can get this done fast as we have several sites down.

Thank you and good luck to you all!
