This tutorial covers how to add a wildcard or multi-domain SSL certificate to multiple Virtual servers.
You will need an IP address dedicated to this purpose -- you can obtain IP addresses from the ISP hosting your server.
This tutorial assumes you have first logged into Virtualmin.
Click 'Addresses and Networking' -> 'Shared IP Addresses'.
Enter the IP address for this new SSL certificate in the 'Shared addresses for any servers ' field.
Click 'Allocate a new shared IP address'.
Click 'Save'.

Migrating To a New Server
Posted 2011-06-08 21:45 by andreychek
This document describes how to migrate your Virtualmin installation to a new server.
The migration consists of performing a series of backups, restoring them onto your new server, testing (and more testing) -- and then, once everything appears to be working, making the new server live.
The operating system, version, and architecture don't matter during such a migration.
Upgrading Debian Lenny to Debian Squeeze
Posted 2011-05-24 13:35 by andreychek
This document will help guide you through upgrading a Debian 5.0 (Lenny) server to a Debian 6.0 (Squeeze) server.
We highly recommend that you perform all of these steps on a test system before making changes to your production server -- that way, you can minimize downtime by knowing what all to expect.
These steps are a succinct version of the full Debian upgrade guide available here: http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en...
You should plan for some downtime -- there are big differences between the two distributions, and things don't always go as

How can I prevent FTP Users from Browsing the Entire Filesystem?
If you want to limit the ease of which an FTP user can browse the server, you can setup FTP directory restrictions in Limits and Validation -> FTP Directory Restrictions. That would allow you to lock an FTP user into their home directory.
Note that this only prevents an FTP user from browsing the system, there are other ways in which a user can do the same thing.
