Hi again, I posted to the list over the weekend & it may have been lost amongst the other threads, so I'll try again. I have run Webmin on OSX & other *nix variants for a long time, n problems with installation etc.... However, I have a client who needs an automated method to administer password protected directories on Apache under Windows XP Professional & I cannot find any other tool to do it for Windows other than Webmin, which is my preferred choice anyway. However, I have been as yet unable to get Webmin installed, with the same errors as other people have posted but I have been unable to find a solution. The process to get it installed so far is as follows: 1 - Install Activestate Perl - latest version 2 - Download/extract Webmin .zip file to C:\webmin 3 - On a command prompt enter - perl setup.pl 4 - Output from Webmin setup script is: Perl seems to be installed OK This is followed by: a number of 'The system cannot find the path specified', followed by 'Failed to create temp directory C:\DOCUMEN~1\Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp At Jamie's suggestion, I have tried changing the path to temp to C:\temp & also tried c:\tmp, but the error stays pretty much the same - an empty directory gets created in C:\etc\ called Webmin & also C:\var\ - so the script begins to run it's course, but something is hanging it up. To answer the first question, yes, I am running as an administrator user & I have also logged in as Administrator just to see if that worked but no luck yet. Has anyone successfully overcome these obstacles & if so, could they please post to the list or to my address directly - I have been unable to find any further answers to this - any help is very much appreciated. -- Bye for now, Terry Allen ___________________________________________________________________ hEARd Postal Address: hEARd, 26B Glenning Rd, Glenning Valley, NSW 2261, Australia Internet - WWW: http://heard.com.au http://itavservices.com EMAIL: hm...@oz...
