3.70-2 kills all backups

Why is it trying to contact a webmin server for a FTP backup ?

Uploading archive to FTP server ..
.. upload failed! Failed to connect to 78.47.202.33:10000 : Connection refused

Every backup is now failing.

Status: 
Closed (fixed)

It's a just-discovered bug in most remote backup types (local backups still work).

Jamie has fixed this one for the next release coming in a few hours. In the meantime, this is from Jamie on another (private) ticket:

To fix it, edit /usr/{share,libexec}/webmin/virtual-server/virtual-server-lib-funcs.pl and change line 13032 to :

    local $port = $miniserv{'port'};

Then run /etc/webmin/restart

Basically just adding "local" to the line.

I hate to say it... worse release ever put out and man I hope its the last one too.

I can't help but hear that in the voice of comic book guy from the Simpsons'. (You know you've said this about at least two other releases, right?) ;-)

That patch is on a private ticket. Only we can see it. ;-)

Seriously I thought a release was going to come out hours ago to fix this issue and it isn't. I can't be taking my time to edit the file on 37 servers.

Let's get a update out in the next few hours.
