Webmin, working after a couple of hours screwing around.
Webmin was installed already just go to the address.
In my case: https://purdy.bordway.org:10000/
and of course I perform the ultimate sin and log in as root.
Damn! Apache Webserver gives this error:
The Apache configuration file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf does not exist
*********** Start diversion 1 **********************************
This is Webmin version 1.070 and my Apache install is Version 2.
Apparently Webmin doesn't recognize version 2 of Apache, i.e. /usr/sbin/httpd2
per a post on the webmin user forum.
My motto: Always get the latest version of software.
So I downloaded webmin-1.100-1.noarch.rpm from http://www.webmin.com
to my /tmp directory. Then I unistalled version 1.070 using RpmDrake.
************ Start diversion 2 ********************************
I tried to install webmin 1.100 with RpmDrake but I could never figure out how to add a source. Here's a case where somebody created a nice looking interface but I can't figure out how to do something really simple in an intuitive way. I appreciate their efforts but I'm not going to spend too much time RTFM. Did a quick search on Google and then back to the command line:
rpm -iv webmin-1.100-1.noarch.rpm
*********** End diversion 2 *********************************
Webmin still doesn't work with my Apache.
*********** End diversion 1 ********************************
I don't really need it, but it sure would be nice.
It seems inconceivable that this doesn't work with Apache 2.
Before giving up I went to the user forum again and found this post: http://webmin.us/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=250 which contained the following:
change 'Apache server root directory' to:
/etc/httpd/2.0
change 'Path to httpd executable' to:
/usr/sbin/httpd2
change 'Path to httpd.conf' to:
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd2.conf
and change the radio button from automatic.
Webmin works now, the old version probably would have worked too.
