I use ports because they're convenient. Anyway deinstalled the port and removed the webmin directories. Downloaded the tarball, ran tar -xvzf, and then installed useing setup.sh.
Still got this at the end of the installation
Attempting to start Webmin mini web server..
Starting Webmin server in /usr/local/lib/webmin
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
ERROR: Failed to start web server!
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
That would rule out the port, .. since all webmin is running is Perl:
1) What errors are in miniserv.error?
2) Has miniserv.pid been created?
3) Is your perl installation valid?
4) Are you running anything that could be conflicting with the port you're trying to run Webmin against?
5) Anything flakey with permissions on /var/webmin or /etc/webmin?
I would suspect a permission issue with /var/webmin.

Well, it's something to do with perl. I am running 5.8.6 installed from ports - SpamAssassin runs OK as do my own perl scripts. If I run 'use.perl system' to switch back to the initially installed perl (5.005.03) then miniserv starts with no problem at all. If I switch back with 'use.perl port' then I get the segmentation fault.
Not sure where to go from here as I don't want to downgrade my perl version just for the sake of webmin.

I'm running FreeBSD 4.11 and have just installed, using portinstall, webmin-1.210_1.
Whenever I try to start webmin I get a segmentation fault and a core dump file, perl.core.
Anyone help would be appreciated.
Why are you using a port? There's nothing to install other than Perl scripts,. . try the main version from Webmin.
