Re: [webmin-l] Webmin with Plesk

[Kimberly <kim...@gm...>]

Thanks everyone.  I figured Plesk probably did twist everything around 
to where it couldn't be done.  Not my server but I manage it; Plesk was 
put on it for the guy to use and he told me that he doesn't even go into 
the control panel.  So I figured if he really needed to do so, then 
virtualmin could handle that.

Best to wipe the server and start clean.

I have looked at many control panels and I have discarded them all.  I 
like Webmin and I appreciate what you guys are doing. Thanks for all the 
hard work you put into Webmin.
