Kubuntu webmin and virtual hosts

[Guest]

Hi guys!

This is the first time I'm using kubuntu. I find it neat with all its support, specially hardware support and it is one good linux flavor.

However, I am having trouble configuring virtual hosts on my apache here. I've installed webmin, and I've also been using webmin (for another distro) for quite some time now. My problem is that adding a virtual hosts doesn't seem to work, I get a 500 error. Now that is unlikely 'cause I am not manually typing entries to the config, but using webmin.

Any suggestions? Please do reply to this post.

Re: Kubuntu webmin and virtual hosts

Some time back, when I was playing (ever so little) with SAMBA on my Linux laptop and attempting to setup a home network to my Win Vista laptop, I tried using webmin. There is a problem with webmin in *ubuntu. Because the root account is disabled by default, I wasn't able to access gain access to the 'root only' functions that webmin has.

Hmmm, I don't have webmin installed right now, so can't experiement, but what would happen if you opened your browser as sudo,

kdesudo firefox

for example. Then would you have sudo privileges when you opened webmin?
