ask - how to install webmin ?

[cakka]

hello,

=== This problem have been solved, Thank You ===


i want to install webmin on my vps
my vps is using ubuntu as operating system
i have download webmin, but when i install it
it come failed
i got this message :



root@server1:/home/apps# dpkg --install webmin_1.530_all.deb
Selecting previously deselected package webmin.
(Reading database ... 21634 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking webmin (from webmin_1.530_all.deb) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of webmin:
webmin depends on libnet-ssleay-perl; however:
Package libnet-ssleay-perl is not installed.
webmin depends on libauthen-pam-perl; however:
Package libauthen-pam-perl is not installed.
webmin depends on libio-pty-perl; however:
Package libio-pty-perl is not installed.
webmin depends on apt-show-versions; however:
Package apt-show-versions is not installed.
dpkg: error processing webmin (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
webmin



so, i do this :
root@server1:/home/apps# apt-get install perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-

and get this message :
perl apt-show-versions
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
perl is already the newest version.
Package libnet-ssleay-perl is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package libnet-ssleay-perl has no installation candidate

next, i am getting this instruction on webmin page :

If you are installing on Ubuntu and the apt-get command reports that some of the packages cannot be found, edit /etc/apt/sources.list and make sure the lines ending with universe are not commented out.

how to edit the file via ssh ?

thanks

Alright, I see you had installed successfully before it fails.
I can put a link to youtube howto, there was I did followed to installation and it works for me. Give a try again. Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrraRReECRg

Remember always put your localhost on browser after install successfully: https://localhost:10000

You can read page 1 of my website, it will tell you how

http://woodel.com

But basically all it is saying is you are missing packages, so type

sudo apt-get install those-packages-it-says-you-are-missing-....

example in your case that would be this

sudo apt-get install libnet-ssleay-perl libauthen-pam-perl libio-pty-perl apt-show-versions

[jerome1232]

I had to attempt to install webmin, then those individual packages, then apt-get install -f figured it all out.


I wonder why dpkg won't just grab those dependencies on it's own?

sorry for that, i just try to clearing this problem step by step ;)
thanks for your help friend :popcorn:

[jerome1232]

did you try installing those packages you are missing?


sudo apt-get install libnet-ssleay-perl libauthen-pam-perl libauthen-pam-perl libio-pty-perl apt-show-versions

after install webmin, i have try this
apt-get install perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl apt-show-versions

but it make some application downgraded & crash
any ideas ?

on webmin site, i am getting this tutorial :

If you are installing on Ubuntu and the apt-get command reports that some of the packages cannot be found, edit /etc/apt/sources.list and make sure the lines ending with universe are not commented out.

but how to do that ?

thanks

sudo apt-get install libnet-ssleay-perl libauthen-pam-perl libauthen-pam-perl libio-pty-perl apt-show-versions

yes, i did. check on #13

thanks

[cakka]

i have tried the step that i got from webmin site, but i am confuse to edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file

please tell me the way
thanks

[jerome1232]

Be careful editing this file!!!!

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

or if you have a gui installed (assuming gnome)

gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

kde

kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list

[kevinthecomputerguy]

Page 1 of my website walks you through the steps

or this command

sudo apt-get install vim

sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list

good luck

Edit * run sudo before every command

[jerome1232]

You said an application was going to be downgraded? What was the exact output from that attempt to install?
