Im trying to install webmin on an Ubuntu 7.04 server. Ive followed the directions on this server, however after I dowload the package and try to extract it ( tar xcvf webmin-1.360.tar.gz). It gives me and error message that reads: You may not specifiy more than one "-acdtrux" So I tried "tar xvf webmin-1.360.tar.gz" and it tries to unpack several files but it gives me an error message on each line that reads: cannot open: no file or directory I havent enable the root account, the directions say it can be run without it. Any suggestions?
Are you sure that you didn't make a typo when you used the commands from this guide? http://www.howtoforge.com/installing_webmin_ubuntu_feisty You can copy & paste the commands to your shell to avoid typos.
Damn I cut and pasted it and it worked fine. I have gone over and over it looking for a typo but I cant see the difference in my typing and what I pasted from your manual. Oh well, I still feel stupid. Thanx for your help.
SO CLose Everything else went smooth, however I used the default port :1000 during the setup, and when I check "sudo netstat -tap" Active Internet connections (servers and established) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name tcp 0 0 localhost:mysql *:* LISTEN 3782/mysqld tcp 0 0 *:webmin *:* LISTEN 4086/perl tcp 0 0 *:www *:* LISTEN 3914/apache2 tcp6 0 0 *:ssh *:* LISTEN 3857/sshd tcp6 0 592 ::ffff:192.168.0.16:ssh ::ffff:192.168.0.1:1316 ESTABLISHED3946/sshd: randy [p I dont see it listening on port 1000. how can I get it to listen on the port that I configured it to?
What's the output of Code: grep webmin /etc/services ? BTW, the default webmin port is 10000, not 1000.
