No menu for Cloudmin Managed Systems

Submitted by sgrayban on Sat, 06/12/2010 - 16:47

I have a client that has CM installed and uses just real systems and xen and in the menu the link for "Cloudmin Managed Systems" seems to be missing.

The menu seems to stop at "Backup and Restore" and nothing below it which in my CM I see more of the menu.

Looking at /var/webmin/miniserv.error I get a error

Out of memory!

But that can't be right because his server has plenty of memory...

free -m
           total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:         11643    4597      7045   0            34           3866
-/+ buffers/cache:     697      10945
Swap:         2588      0           2588

So this makes no sense why its out of memory.

Closed (fixed)

Could you attach a screenshot of the left menu to this bug report?

Also, does anything get logged to /var/webmin/miniserv.error when the left menu displayed?

I post what was in /var/webmin/miniserv.error - you didn't read everything :)

I also get the Out of memory error if I try to edit the xen system too.

Even disabling all pre-load libraries didn't do anything. Still get the out of memory error.

I even turned off all xen instances.

Hmm there was a 4GB file under /var/webmin/server-manager/ that was causing this to happen.

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4.0G 2010-06-11 23:35 /var/webmin/server-manager/xen-asterisknow-170.img

webmin.debug had this as I was refreshing the menu:

22746 [12/Jun/2010 21:06:03] sgrayban 71.32.15.193 server-manager READ "/var/webmin/server-manager/xen-asterisknow-170.img"
22746 [12/Jun/2010 21:06:09] sgrayban 71.32.15.193 - STOP "runtime=7"

Moving that file to /root/ fixed it -- not sure what that file was for.

that was the whole bloody issue -- client playing around broke CM and that file was the reason.

Wow, that huge file would certainly cause it!

Just out of interest, what was in that file? If it was created by Cloudmin, that would indicate a bug..

Well it was a image that was being created by CM from a ISO but it failed to finished and the file wasnt removed.
