 |
|
well, I emerge'd webmin, and it created a /etc/init.d/webmin, which calls /etc/webmin/start and /etc/webmin/stop, but there's nothing in /etc/webmin!
any ideas oh what's happening there? |

Are you sure everything compiled properly/emerged OK? I just emerged it and /etc/webim has a bunch of stuff in it.

Only weird thing is this, in the beginning:
| Code: |
>>> Install webmin-0.992 into /var/tmp/portage/webmin-0.992/image/ category app-admin
/usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: exeino: command not found
strip
|
and then it just does a bunch of copies
and it sticks uninstall.sh in /
not sure what's happening |

does emerge -s think it is installed? Is it in /var/cache/edb/world? You might try an unmerge.

That's odd. Should be a ton of dir's and files in /etc/webmin.
Try this.
cd /usr/libexec/webmin
./setup.sh
Go with the default and the script will run.
This should auto start the webmin server and be listening on port 10000.
Launch browser and login.

|
|
I had emerged webmin, even accessed it. Now today I tried but wasn't able to even get the login. I to found the /etc/webmin directory empty, when I ran the setup again it said it found an existing config in the directory. I checked===> it's a permission thing, you have to be root to see the files.

| Well, you have to start the installation yourself by starting /usr/libexec/webmin/setup.sh after you have emerged webmin! |

| I think you should just log in as root with the system-password of root. After that, you can just change behaviour, add users, change password (system-wide or specific to webmin) and so on |

|
|
I found the following on webmin's FAQ:
| Quote: |
How do I change my Webmin password if I can't login?
Included with the Webmin distribution is a program called changepass.pl to solve precisely this problem. Assuming you have installed Webmin in /usr/local/webmin-1.110, you could change the password of the admin user to foo by running
/usr/local/webmin-1.110/changepass.pl /etc/webmin admin foo
|
I used this script to setup the initial root password for webmin.
| Code: |
./changepass.pl /etc/webmin root webmin
|
This sets the root login for webmin to "webmin"
From there it's an exercise to the reader to implement proper security measures.
