Re: [webmin-l] Webmin 1.320 Migration form FBSD 4.7 -> 6.2

Hi Grant,
Do you have any socket= or bind= lines in miniserv.conf telling Webmin to listen on a specific IP address? If that IP doesn't exist or cannot be resolved on the new system, you may get this error... so try deleting those lines and starting it again.

       Hi Jamie,
 
 I have just tarred /usr/local/webmin-1.320 and  /etc/webmin from an online production server to a replacement server running  FreeBSD 6.2 and can't start miniserv.pl.
 
 The server is currently at my office where there is  no DNS running - simply connected to my router using ip 192.168.1.5
 
 The error in the /var/log/webmin/miniserv.error is  this:
 
 "Bad arg length for socket::inet_ntoa, length is 5,  should be 4 at /usr/local/webmin-1.320/miniserv.pl line 363
 
 Is this a temporary error, i.e. do you think it  will go away when connected to the production env?
 
 I wanted to get webmin running so I can use it to  add some perl modules etc.
