3rd party plugin does not work

Submitted by cddrummer on Fri, 05/21/2010 - 12:16

I realize that this is not a bug in Virtualmin, not sure where else to post.

There is a third party plugin that does not seem to work at all. after a month of hundreds of combinations, I would like confirmation that it does in fact work from one of the developers here.

Are the 3rd party plugins tested at all by the dev team?

I am trying to use this plugin. and it does not work .

These guys apparently ignore any questions about the plugin, and it should be removed from the page. In fact, everyone seems to ignore the entire post I posted in the forums regarding getting this going.

I also emailed the makers, and have been ignored for the past 45 days.

Thanks for any help.

We don't actually test or support third-party plugins, apart from ensuring that the provided files actually exist.

I can test this out if you like though - but what goes wrong with it for you exactly?

Jamie that would be real cool, kind like your product, real cool.

anyway, best if you see my original post at

It seems that the CA cert parts work correctly, but the naming conventions that are on the plugin admin page do not correlate with the conventions in the OpenVpn documents, The plugin seems to create different paths, and is very inconsistent.

I'm sure its just something I am failing to understand, yet as I state I have tried hundreds of combinations, and none seem to work.

the problem I am having is that the server will not start, in any combination.

Also there are no requirements for the plug in creators to respond to any questions regarding software integrated into your product?

Thanks for your help and the great product, I'm well on my way to needing that cloudmin licence!

Yeah, plugins are pretty much entirely out of our control - we don't do any kind of iPhone app-store like verification. The most we do is ensure that the links actually exist ..

So I am afraid you will have to talk to the authors of that plugin about this.
