webmin 9.4 ??

[lgeistlinger]

Just into my new Desbian server.
As a newbie to all of this, I welcome anything like webmin to make the learning curve easer.
I do question why your installing webmin at V 9.4 when none of the modules will load unless 1.1 or better??

I have tried the auto-update and it seems to choke trying to download the 8 updates.
Any insight would be helpful.



Enjoy :o)

Not sure about the modules you are trying to install. But, webmin .94-7 is the current approved stable version for Debian (woody).

You can see more info here:

Yes,
That was an answer I was looking for. And thank you for the link.

Yes anyone familiar with Webmin and the Linux OS would probably know this.
But going in cold like I did…..
There are two misleading statements.
The first is from serverbeach
“You may want to install additional modules using apt-get from the
commandline.”
This led me to believe you had to “install” the modules you wanted.
Again modules downloaded at Webmin after installation came up with an error “need ver1.1 or better”

In reality all modules are installed and the admin “me” just needed to turn them on.

Personally
I think serverbeach server and installed software are very good products.
And have enjoyed the little experiment.
But I will wait to set up a test bed at home before moving into one on the web.

Thank you for your reply.

We were trying to stick as closely as possible to the default Debian Woody installation. The only variation so far is a newer kernel version gets installed than what is available in Woody. The modules installed by apt should have worked properly, unless the /etc/apt/sources.list was modified to use "unstable" or "sid" instead of "woody". Since webmin is fairly easy to manage (it installs everything in just one directory) we can probably go with installing the latest version available. This will also ensure that the webmin self-update feature will work properly. Look for webmin 1.100 coming soon to a Debian box near you :)

Keep in mind that you can also install webmin 1.100 yourself. Just download the tar.gz file from webmin.com and unpack it in /usr/local, then run the setup.sh inside the webmin-1.100 directory.
