Webmin on CentOS 5.3 - i386
 
Hi,

Could someone help as to how to install webmin on a CentOS 5.3 - i386 machine?

My actual requirement is I need to configure samba using webmin.

you'd be better off using swat then webmin for samba configuration.


Code:


yum -y install samba-swat

once installed and started go to

Code:

http://localhost:901

I was able to configure webmin but was not able to get samba working though. Hnece I tried installing swat but it did not work for me!.

I was trying it on a i386 machine and was not able to access "http://localhost:901" or "http://192.168.0.1:901" or "http://127.0.0.1:901".

I have apache installed and is running on the system. It gives an error saying " Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:901."

Is there anything else I need to check out for?

Did you start the swat Web server? If not, that's why you couldn't access it on http://localhost:901.

Your Apache HTTP server isn't issuing this error message -- it's from Firefox directly. Just a clarification. And this thread may help

Hey, it worked once I changed the "disable = no" in the /etc/xinetd.d/swat file.

I restarted httpd and xinetd and it worked fine then.
