Following your documentation I cannot get proxying to
work. Apache works, it gives a nice login screen, but
when I try to login, It looks like it is doing nothing.
I get thrown back to the login page. Fields are cleared
and I have to type it again. Apache log is not saying
anything. The url becomes:
http://hostname/webmin/session_login.cgi

I tracked you bug history. Directives webprefix=/webmin
and webprefixnoredir=1 to /etc/webmin/config do not
work at all.

    Try disabling cookie authentication in webmin. This can be
    done by editing /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf and removing the
    session=1 line, then running /etc/webmin/stop ;
    /etc/webmin/start

    Disabling cookie auth allows a user to login, but then links
    are all wrong. Images are trying to load from domain/images/
    rather than domain/webmin/images/, and links to different
    modules are the same way. The "webprefix" option is
    definitely not working for some reason.

    Another thing to check - make sure you are using the 'Old
    Webmin Theme', as other themes may not work properly with
    the webprefix= option.

    I'm having the issue of some images and links not using the proper
    pathing when I proxy through Apache 2.0.49. Is there another webmin
    configuration setting? The most outstanding problem is that some of the
    various "return to index" links at the bottom of modules don't properly
    refer back.

    cgervais - where do these images or links point to exactly?
