Admin. & Configuration GUI for HP Apache-based Web Server version 1.3.19.23 Webmin 0.84 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ These release notes contain information on the following topics: - Features - Configuration - Webmin Modules - Perl Requirement - Starting and Stopping Webmin Note: Please refer to the LICENSE file under /opt/apache/webmin to view the Webmin Software License. =========================================== Features =========================================== Webmin is a web-based interface for system administration for Unix. Webmin consists of a miniserver, and a number of CGI programs which directly update system files like /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/passwd. The web server and all CGI programs are written in Perl version 5, and use no external modules. This means that you only need a Perl binary to run Webmin. See the Perl Requirement subtopic below for more information.

If you would like to change those defaults, run /opt/apache/webmin/setup.sh and specify the configuration that you want. In addition, if you want to use /opt/apache/webmin/conf as the preferred configuration directory, remove /opt/apache/webmin/conf and /opt/apache/webmin/logs directories before running setup.sh. =========================================== Webmin Modules =========================================== Modules included in the HP Apache-based Web Server bundle ------------------------------------------------------ Webmin has been customized to work with HP Apache-based web server by excluding many of its standard modules. Modules included in this bundle: acl apache cpan file images lang net servers software status syslog useradmin webmin webminlog =========================================== Perl Requirement =========================================== Webmin depends on Perl5. It is strongly recommended that you use Perl version 5.6.1 since it is the required version for Apache's mod_perl. See /opt/apache/htdocs/doc/apache.release.notes for details. The default location of Perl for Webmin is /opt/perl/bin/perl. To find out the location of the Perl you have, type: which perl To determine the version of Perl, type: /perl -v To determine if the version of Perl is complaint, as root, type: /opt/apache/webmin/perl-setup.sh How to get Perl ------------------------------------------- Download and install Perl (version 5.6.1) from the following location: http://software.hp.com/ In the left navigation bar, click on "search". Use keywords: Perl v.5.6.1 This will automatically install in the /opt/perl/bin directory. If you have Perl installed on your machine in a location other than /opt/perl/bin/perl: Before starting Webmin, run /opt/apache/webmin/perl-setup.sh as root to make the necessary changes. This will ask for the full path to the Perl of your choice. It will check to make sure that your version of Perl is compliant. =========================================== Starting and Stopping Webmin =========================================== Webmin is not automatically started upon installation.
