I struggle to figure out where he even found it.

When I first found Virtualmin and started reading about it, I simply Googled “Install Virtualmin”. took me right to the page where the download and execute command lines are.

30 minutes after reading about it, it was up and running.

I mean, I sometimes search YouTube for tutorials when starting with something
and, I guess a lot of people still say “Webmin” when what they actually want/mean is Virtualmin. So, if you go looking for “install Webmin”, you’re going to have a painful time finding your way to a nice web hosting experience.

I think that’s how folks end up in this particular type of mess most often. They start with Webmin and then just keep adding things to it making their deployment more and more complicated and more and more broken until they finally find us and ask for help and learn they could have just run one command. :wink:

Since you’re past the initial issue, could you start a new topic for your new questions? It makes it more useful for people searching, and it makes the conversation easier to follow when it’s discussing just one issue.

Ya that’s true. and i will. I wasted a lot of time, but i learned a lot most unsuccessfully trying to fix the issues that occurred

My solution was i guess installing with automatic ipv4. Still not sure why i couldn’t download with manual ipv4 settings. I had a dev say he thinks this was the issue, Screen Shot 2021-03-15 at 4.28.33 PM (2)
What do you think? I installed the managed switches and it didn’t help. I installed virtualmin in the past with the same exact settings, although we had the same SuExec PHP and the external address pointing to my router problems that occur with auto ipv4.

I can’t make this sentence mean anything in my head, no matter how many times I read it. SuExec PHP has nothing to do with your external address, your router, or your IPv4 settings. At this point, we don’t even support suexec for websites on some distro versions.

I didn’t work that hard to hack Virtualmin onto unsupported OS’s.

31

Should i just disable suexec? would that make the error messages go away?
Thanks!
