problem Installing webmin

computerfineman · 07-10-2005, 06:52 AM

Hello guys. I have just downloaded webmin version 1.210 to my new Fedora Core 3. But when I tried to install it using the "rpm -ivh" command, it gave the following error message:
error: webmin-1.210-1.noarch.rpm: V3 DSA signature: BAD, key ID 11f63c51
error: webmin-1.210-1.noarch.rpm cannot be installed
What's the meaning of this and how can I get webmin installed and running?

Try downloading it again, there might be a problem with the rpm itself being corrupted, though I haven't seen that error before. Also, if you're interested, the latest version is available at www.webmin.com and is a very easy install. It's a nice introduction to installing things by hand.

Thanks fouldsy but I downloaded the current version of webmin from a link which I got at www.webmin.com. Well I've just downloaded the file again and the installation fails again

Code:

[root@netadmin tech]# rpm -U webmin-2.210-1.noarch.rpm
error: webmin-2.210-1.noarch.rpm: V3 DSA signature: BAD, key ID 11f63c51
error: webmin-2.210-1.noarch.rpm cannot be installed

I suspect the problem might have to do with the integrity of the file itself ( I don't really know) I'm not sure all downloads are good. I wish someone could directly me to a sure webmin download site.

That's why I suggested downloading the file again as it doesn't seem too happy about the integrity of the file itself. Have yuo tried the source download avilable at http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/w...n-1.210.tar.gz ? it's really not hard to install at all, only one command exactly as installing from rpm, but I've never had problems using the source code download of webmin.

Thanks fousdy, I've completed the download from your link. But could you please tell me what command you use to install this one? it is not an rpm package so the rpm instal command doesn't work. And I've tried to intal in graphical mode. it doesn't work either.

fouldsy,
I am beginning to fear that fedora core3 may not be compatible with webmin. I hope I'm incorrect. You might have found it easy to intall webmin on Debian but why am I finding it so difficult to instal to fedora. is there a deferent command for installing to fedora? Somebody please help me.

command
#tar xvzf webmin-1.210.tar.gz
#cd webmin-1.210
#./setup.sh /usr/local/webmin

and all goes......

I have tried this command: tar xvzf webmin-1.210.tar.gz,
and it appears to have installed successfully but when I try to access webmin with URL: http://<ip address>:10000,
It does not work. What have I done wrong?

have you check out the log file in apache?
what does it say?

computerfineman · 07-16-2005, 05:08 AM

Where do I find the apache folder? I've looked for it but couldn't know were it is located. Besides, when I eventually find the apache folder, what command will I use in opening the log file and what am I expected to see there?
