Hi,
Here's my original post on Webmin https://sourceforge.net/p/webadmin/discussion/600155/thread/91970399/
I installed Virtualmin on Linux, Ubuntu 16.04 with the latest Webmin, Tried to install from the .deb file first http://webmin.com/vdownload.html It said it was installed but couldn't run. So then I downloaded virtual-server-6.022.gpl.wbm, extracted it and uploaded virtual-server-6.022.gpl.wbm in Webman Configuration > Webmin Modules. Not sure if that's the correct way to do it but I have the Virtualmin tab in Webmin.
I already did a LAMP setup before installing Webmin via Putty. And I have one main domain on the vps which I created a virtual host for. I also create a virtual host for a subdomain.
Then I installed Webmin, which seems to be working fine. What I really wanted to do was create an ssl cert for the subdomain, As the main domain already has a fee ssl cert, I'm using Cloudflare free dns service.
Anyway, back in Webmin I clicked the Virtualmin tab and went through the install wizard, When I select next for the database servers, it displays Cannot write to directory /etc/webmin/virtual-server/ Virtualmin also says no virtual servers created, I was hoping I could make it detect the existing virtual hosts etc etc.
Hi, my best advice is to install virtualmin on fresh install - like naked os and then right a way after updating that os, install virtualmin. Lamp uses different methods and permissions.. I would use lamp only for local development to be honest. if you use debian distro (ubuntu is different - its debian based but heavy mods was done to it) just install netinstall iso, with ssh. once installed do
apt update && apt upgrade -ywaits till finished and then download virtualmin script and run it according to virtualmin documentation. It should works.Configuring/troubleshooting Debian servers is always great fun
Hey thanks for your advise, I did the install a few times since, I'm getting the hang of it now, Had so many things to fix, I forgot about this thread.
