How can I get Virtualmin to configure?
Many thanks

That makes updates in the future a pain, and Virtualmin even provides their own Apache packages in the hopes of preventing you from having to re-compile it.
If you wish to recompile, searching for “Ubuntu recompile Apache” on Google brings up a few resources that should help (and the Debian instructions are remarkably similar to Ubuntu); but perhaps there’s a way to avoid that?
The last guy obviously did the recompile and finished installing virtualmin, then after he updated he could put in a link from /var/www to /home. The problem is to get past virtualmin install. This inherantly suggests there could be “bugs” in his particular installation in future, unless virtualmin is just strict on a setting which doesn’t really mean anything.
Anyhow, I got the recompile, after correcting about 6 dependancy packages im stuck on
dpkg-buildpackage: warning: Failed to sign .changes file
-bash: dpkg-buildpackage:: command not found
If you got a place for me to apt-get a /home version please help. Thanks
Okay, it sounds like you simply have the distro’s version of Apache rather than Virtualmin’s.
While recompiling is a solution, it’s the more difficult way of going about it
You can see the various Apache packages you have installed by running this:
dpkg -l ‘apache*’
The Virtualmin packages have a version number ending in "vm", such as "2.2.8-11vm".
So the goal would be to replace the current Apache packages with those in the Virtualmin repository (they’re near identical, but with the correct suexec path).
If you didn’t install Virtualmin using the install.sh script, you’ll want to make sure you have the Virtualmin repository added to the /etc/apt/sources.list file.
Hrm, I’m beginning to suspect you may not have installed with the install.sh script. For future reference, the install script makes life a ton easier, and automatically handles most setup tasks such as this
The repository you’d use depends on what distro/version you’re using, and whether you’re using the GPL or Pro version of Virtualmin.
However, the GPL repository is here if that helps get you started:
I read someone that required a clean install and rhe manual way didnt.
I had a few other panels on here, and the server is a long way away so reinstalling was out the question.
Now it tells me
apt-get install apache2=2.2.8-11vm
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Version '2.2.8-11vm' for 'apache2' was not found
Is there another version number? How can I find it?
I feel like I made the 100km marathon but i cant do the last 1km.
Yeah, it looks like you have the package name right; did you run "apt-get update" after adding the Virtualmin repostory to the sources.list file?
