I had Webmin working with RH8, but can't get it going with FC1. I've tried installing webmin-1.121.1.noarch.rpm file with the GUI package manager - It seemed to never finish - ie no usual message about how it will be on port 10000 and using the root acct.
Then I tried again using their suggested command of rpm -U webmin-1.121.1.noarch.rpm. That appeared to work - It said it installed and gave the expected message about port number and root account. It said "You may now login to domainname:10000 etc. However, it doesn't work.
I just tried it... and it works. I didn't try your method. Instead I grabbed the source RPM from:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.121-1.src.rpm
After that I did (as root):
rpmbuild --rebuild webmin-1.121-1.src.rpm
It built fine and wrote the RPM to:
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch/webmin-1.121-1.noarch.rpm
I then installed it with:
rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch/webmin-1.121-1.noarch.rpm
It installed fine and finished with the message:
Webmin install complete. You can now login to http://plug.mydomain.org:10000/
as root with your root password.
To check to see if it is running do:
service webmin status
I got:
Webmin (pid 29413) is running
Then I just pointed my web browser to http://plug.mydomain.org:10000/ and logged in. It works.
Note: You may have to check whether your web browser is pointing to a proxy server. If it is you may have to unconfigure that to access webmin on your local machine or a machine on your subnet. Squid seems to have some issues with webmin sometimes.
Could someone give me some clues where to look? I have the port open in my firewall, and as I said, I've had it working before - has to be something simple.... ;-) THANKS - John
Hope that helps.
-DU-...etc...
