#1190 Webmin not starting if initial package is moved
Standard procedure, download webmin to /src.
1. gunzip -c <tarball> | tar xvf -
2. cd webmin-1.090
3. ./setup.sh
Accept all default settings, and enable SSL
4. Webmin running.
5. cd /src
6. mv webmin-1.090 /src/archive
7. /etc/init.d/webmin stop
8. /etc/init.d/webmin start
generates the following error --
/etc/init.d/webmin start: /usr2/local/src/webmin-
1.090/miniserv.pl: not found
If I leave the extracted tarball at the location of install
everything runs fine, but typically I can move any install
packages after installation is complete. This if the first
time I've run into this.

This is expected, as the init script expects webmin to still be
in the orginal install directory. To fix it, re-run setup.sh in the
new location.

If thats your answer, Why are you not adhering to
installation standards?
Any other product can have its installation source directory
removed or relocated without affecting the installation. If
this .pl file is that important why isn't it installed with the rest
of the application? What other dependancies are you leaving
behind that requires the source directory to remain
unchanged?

Webmin is a bit odd, in that unlike other programs the
'source' directory is actually the directory it runs out of.
So you cannot delete that directory or move it to a new
location.
The 1.100 release will allow you to specify an argument to
the setup.sh script, which is a directory to which all the
files will be copied (such as /usr/local/webmin). If you
install this way, the original source directory can be
safely deleted.

What time frame are they looking at for testing and release of
1.100?

Less that a week.
Or you can try out the 1.099 version which already includes
this feature, available from http://www.webmin.com/devel.html

Will do, thank you.
