[HOWTO] - Install Webmin on 10.1/10.0

[Didj]

I'm really impressed by your knowledge, guys !
Maybe you could help me : I installed webmin, like Yoshi explained it. Everything goes well. Except for the address mapping.

Let's say I want to have two "webmaster" mail accounts. One on the domain name "domain1.com" and another on "domain2.com".

Domain1.com is my default domain. I created a user "webmaster" and a user "webm2" in "Users and Groups" (system preferences of Apple's GUI).

I try to create the address mapping :
Mail for : webmaster@domain2.com
Send to : webm2

And an error message appears :
"Failed to save Address Mapping : makemap failed :
makemap: error opening type hash map /etc/mail/virtusertable: executable files not allowed"

Do you see what it means ? What should I do to make it working ?

Thanks for your help !

This sounds like a sendmail error, what you need to do is to make sure all the sendmail files are there under MacOSX. Sendmail under MacOSX is broken by default so if you haven't fixed it I do think that you should be worring about that first

Hum !
And what should I do to fix it ?

Could you give me instructions how to configure Sendmail or how to build it from source, if necessary ?

You're very helpfull ! Thank you !

In a parallel univers, linuxconf disappeared too!

there are too many things glossed over using tools like this,
and much understanding is taken away.

CLI is the best way to go. Since we Mac Users are now
exposed to the BSD/Darwin underbelly, there are amazing
books and FAQs for each of these softwares which need
configuring.

I live by O'Reilly and Associates. I own most of the System
and Network Collection and most of the Security books too.

We have alot of catching up to do.

Luckily our toys are better than theirs.

Yes I agree, but in short for people who don't want or need to need this either because of time constraints or they want to do something simple that requires a lot of knowledge this tool gives them the power to do so. Of course you all can have your own opinions.

I'm sure you know me by know, so here goes!

When asked which operating system, I type 42 as you say, but the message:

Operating system: 42
ERROR: 42 is not a valid operating system number.

???

****IGNORE THIS MESSAGE**** ... as I said, you probably know my ways by now, I should've read what was in front of my eyes!!!

Don't you all feel sorry for my computer!

I have navigated to the MySQL button in Webmin (under the Servers heading). it asks for the MySQL admin login and pass. But won't accept anything!

Further to this, I followed the instructions in your MySQL & PHP tutorial, to change password, now I am getting:

ERROR 1044: Access denied for user: '@localhost' to database 'coordinate'

or this:

./bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO)'

enter your login and password in the module config window (for mysql)
