Howdy,

Does this problem occur for just this one domain, or for all domains?

Also, what is the output of this command:

ls -la /tmp/.webmin/

Lastly, which Virtualmin version is it that you're using now?

Just a few hours back, i had restored more than 50 domains. This problem has started appearing all of a sudden. I tested many domain backups. the problem remains the same.

Please help.

I had this today, after a WP possible hack, I tried to restore and got that error.

After I noticed the database in question had no tables and the user for the database was not correct.

I changed the user and still got it...

Eventually, I unzipped a VM backup, uploaded the com_sql file and renamed it with an sql extention, logged into SSH and ran this command and my site came back.

mysql -u theuser -pmypwd targetdb < /home/pathtouploadeddb/public_html/uploaded.sql

Worried me a bit, pesky WP.

Thanks Welshman for your workarounds.

Mine is a totally difference issue. As a part of my server migration process, i have moved virtualmin backups from my old server and am trying to restore them in a new server. I had no issues during my initial 50+ restorations. This issue started cropping up all of a sudden

I have hundreds of domains to be restored urgently. Can i have the help in getting this resolved, please ?

Thanks and Regards

A new version will be out soon; either to roll back this change or to fix it so it actually works right. It will happen before I go to bed. I don't know exactly when, but soon.

In the meantime, I believe command line restore-domain feature will work as expected (and if you have hundreds of restores, you would definitely want to use the command line anyway...doing that in the UI would take forever!). I haven't tested it, but I've been reading the restore code, and I'm pretty sure the command line restore would miss this codepath, as long as you do not specify the "--as-owner" option.

Let me know if that's not the case.

I would recommend trying just one before doing all of your hundreds of restores.

Actually, double-checking the code, I think the problem will also occur when using the command line version (which is kinda bug-like in and of itself).

On Debian/Ubuntu, a quick and easy way to downgrade to Virtualmin GPL 4.14 is with this command:

apt-get install webmin-virtual-server=4.14.gpl

I'm rolling out a fixed version 4.15-2 now. It will be out in about 10-15 minutes.

It should be in all of our repositories. So, updating with yum or apt-get should get the new version.
