Help In Setting Up Webmin + Virtualmin On My LAMP VPS

I have an above average experience in shared web hosting and just a little in Linux, so i might need a little hand holding on this.

I decided to subscribe to a LAMP VPS account majorly to save cost and to have a little experience on how to set up a VPS server.

My first task was to set up Webmin + Virtualmin on the server

First, I attempted to update the debian 5 OS using the ff command:

Code:

---

apt-get update

---

I got a series of errors saying something about source or was it repository not found.

I went ahead anyway to try to install webmin:

Code:

---

wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin_1.580_all.deb
dpkg --install webmin_1.580_all.deb

---

Got an error, something about dependencies. I typed in the ff:

Code:

---

apt-get install perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl apt-show-versions python

---

No luck. I had to wrap things up.

Basically, i need to someone to spell things out in layman's terms on how to install Webmin + Virtualmin On My LAMP Debian 5 VPS server

Hi there,
We had an issue with our Debian repositories recently that should now be cleared up. I would recommend retrying those steps using apt-get. Hope that helps!!

I'm informed the issue is ongoing but we will be correcting it today. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thank you for the feedback.

Please, will you be kind enough to leave a post here when the process is completed.

It's been fixed on the host level, you can try it again. If for some reason the apt-get update doesn't work, try issuing the below command to manually update the repositories.

sed -i 's/\/\/\([0-9a-zA-Z\.\-]*\)\//\/\/archive.debian.org\//' /etc/apt/sources.list
