armondf Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 Hi there, are you trying to configure webmin or apache to serve *other* webpages? Or are you trying to get webmin running to configure apache to serve *other* webpages? nmbd is more a networking issue, it's not related to webmin directly.

armondf Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 Hi again Configuring apache is actually quite simple, depending on how robust and secure you wish to make your webserver. The heart of apache is the conf file (usually httpd.conf). A standard install of apache on any linux system usually includes an httpd.conf file that's pretty much useable out of the box. Installing from RPMS would leave your apache folders in /etc/httpd/something, whereas configuring from source allows you to override this. Read through the httpd.conf files... there's an abundance of configurations. Just remember to backup your files, and you should be ok. Chances are, if you installed apache along with your distro, you can already see your webserver in action. fire up a browser on your linux box and see if you can browse to http://localhost/ Lemme know where I can help.

Gowator Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 were you root ? type as root /etc/init.d/httpd status it should say if its up/down you can change httpd fopr webmin ansd it will tell you if webmin started if not /etc/init.d/webmin start (as root) I dont see why its looking for a workgroup ?? the usually install is just https://localhost:10000 notice the s and the port 10000 try this and see if it works... if so you can do thew webmin module for configuring webmin :D after thats working then you can go to servers/apache Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
