Title: webmin does work with SME
Post by: BlueSky on March 31, 2004, 03:57:11 PM
Hi,

I saw a post few days ago that webmin does not work with SME. Well, it does with a simple tweaking.

First:
#download the latest rpm package of webmin:
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.130-1.noarch.rpm

Second:
#create the file "redhat-release" in the /etc directory

pico /etc/redhat-release

#and type

Red Hat 7.3

Third
#install the webmin rpm package as usual:
rpm -Uvh webmin-1.130-1.noarch.rpm

Fourth
#Login to the server as follows:
http://SERVER-IP-Address:10000

username: root
password: YOUR-ADMIN-PASSWORD

That's it.

Why would someone like to install webmin on SME server? Two reasons:
1. To test.
2. To see a new prospective of SME and to have few additional functions.

Enjoy

So doesnt this mess with the templates system as before people have stated that it doesnt work because of sme servers unqie templates...

take look at thread http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=8780.0

somone said in there that if you modify with webmin it will be overwritten by the sme templates.

Cheers

It could be. But at least we can now start the testing. Right :-)

Sure, right up until the next event fires and the configuration files are clobbered by the templating system.

Webmin and SME work around very different principles and paradigms. They are not compatible.

if someone is able to modify webmin that it can handle the SME template-system, than webmin will be compatible with SME.
by so far don't play around with webmin on a SME system.

cheers klaus
