Of course, dont forget to upgrade webmin after you get it running as debian comes with 1.170 if I remember correctly." ######## I felt it should be noted when updating Webmin like this there is a few things needing to be fixed when using Debian. First off after you upgrade webmin via the Webmin interface you must stop apt from downloading webmin updates from stable and reinstalling the old version. you can run the following command as root: echo "webmin hold" | dpkg --set-selections To remove the hold run this: echo "webmin install" | dpkg --set-selections Also along with the webmin upgrade you must edit the webmin init file /etc/init.d/webmin so that it points to the proper directory the updated Webmin resides ##ORIGINAL DAEMON=/usr/share/webmin/miniserv.pl ##CHANGED DAEMON=/usr/share/webmin-1.2?0/miniserv.pl replacing ? with your version should work (ls /usr/share|grep webmin). When you use the webmin updater you have to change this along with every update as webmin installs a new directory in /usr/share/ with each update. Alternately you could probably rename the original webmin directory webmin.old and copy the new directory (maintaining permissions) as webmin. Either way I think it will get the job done. Also there may be other subtle things I don't know about so no guarantees. Notice that this entire update situation is not how the Debian folks would want this done but it is how I do it as well with good results. |
