Problem installing webmin-1.270 on Ubuntu Server 6.06

[SeeingEyePig]

This is probably something simple, but I seem to have hit a wall.
I downloaded webmin-1.270.tar.gz from the Webmin site, and installed it on my freshly-build Ubuntu Server 6.06. Everything went smoothly, no errors were displayed, and the message "Webmin has been installed and started successfully." was cheerfully displayed. However, when I type in http://myserver:10000 on my client PC, I get "The page cannot be displayed". I've done this same process on Ubuntu desktop 6.06 and had no problem accessing it. What am I missing? Anyone? Bueller...?

Hi

You will need perl-Net_SSLeay package installed.
Open firewall ports 10000 and HTTPS ?
On the machine on which webmin is installed type the following into web browser:
https://localhost:10000 and accept the SSL certificate.
Log into Webmin with root password..
Set-up Access IP addresses (e.g. only from 127.0.0.1, 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.3). These are machines on your trusted network.
Don't forget User access only from (e.g. 127.0.0.1, 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.3)
Create a new webmin user ASAP.
Hope this helps.

perl-Net_SSLeay was the missing piece, thanks!

Hmmm... just built a second server and when I try to apt-get install perl-Net_SSLeay I get: E: Couldn't find package perl-Net_SSLeay
I've uncommented the extra repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list
It just worked the other day! ](*,)

Got it!

Another user encountered issues since the Webmin package is no longer available. They wrote a quick howto on Dapper and the tgz:
