Webmin build not working as expected
How do I get webmin to work?
I built an Ubunutu9 server including AMP Tomcat and webmin. Open port 10000 on both elastic manager and EC2 firewall and restarted the firewall.
Accessing the server using port 10000 does not respond.
On inspection the only file on the server that relates to webmin is /opt/webmin/webmin_1.490_all.deb
Is not supposed to be installed by default? How do I get it to work?

Inappropriate?Hey imethods,
Any EC2 build is also controlled by Amazon's Security Groups. A Security Group is a named collection of access rules which specify which incoming network traffic should be delivered to your instance. All other ingress traffic is discarded. In order to access webmin on port 10000 you will need to add an exception from your IP on port 10000 to the security group assigned to your server. You can modify rules for a group at any time and the new rules are automatically enforced.
To modify a security group, use our EC2/Eucalyptus Cloud Manager available through the Elastic Server Factory. https://elasticserver.com/ec2 > Click "Manage EC2 Security Groups" > Click the security group assigned to the server in question > Click "New Security Group" > Save the new rule.
Cheers,
Ryan Koop

Inappropriate?Hello,
I'm not sure which bundle you used to install webmin -- there are two (that I can see, and I think both are available to community users), but neither one is a "CFT-Approved" build.
I've looked at the newest one (built a couple of days ago). It looks as if the creator simply uploaded the Debian package and hoped that our system would install it automatically; it doesn't.
If you're the creator of the package send an e-mail to "support @ cohesiveft.com" (without the spaces) and we'll try to help you build the package properly. If not then you might like to try to build your own package/bundle, in which case we can walk you through the steps.
If you'd prefer to just try working with the machine you've built then here are some steps that might help:
$ cd /opt/webmin
$ sudo dpkg -i webmin_1.490_all.deb
I'm not sure exactly where this will place the contents of the package (or, indeed, if the contents are valid). Assuming all is well, though, you should have a functioning webmin.
Note: It's possible that you might be told that you're missing dependencies; simply note the name of the packages it's telling you about and run:
$ sudo apt-get install {packages}
Hope this helps.

Inappropriate?Thanks
The problem was that although the .deb file was included in the bundled server, it was not installed. It also required a couple of Perl dependencies to work as stated above.
Thanks for the prompt replies. Much appreciated

Inappropriate?It may help others if you could include these comments under the package selector.
