Webmin Mac OS X - Version: 1.480, 6/13/2009 10:47AM PST
Sam Asher
I've used webmin / usermin on ubuntu Linux and I'm fond of it there using a debian installation. Is there a definitive CURRENT guide for using this on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard? I used MacPorts to install my Apache2.2.11 / MySql5.0.81 / php5.2.9. Adding the webmin functionality would be nice...
Server not required - Version: 1.480, 6/13/2009 03:02AM PST

Webmin certainly does NOT need OS X 'Server'!
Actually webmin is very much an interface to control most of the same services as OS X server does.
You can make an ordinary OS X do much of the same that a OS X Server does, and in that case Webmin is a great tool.
You can also use Webmin together with OS X Server, to do more advanced control of services than OS X Servers simplistic 'Grandma' interfaces allow - or in cases where OS X Servers GUI simply fail to work properly with the underlying open-source services.
Webmins interfaces can appear very befuddling at times, and many times you also need to Google documentation and fiddle directly with config-files, but overall it's a help - and a serious product - for free.

As far as I can tell from a slight investment of time, webmin requires OS X server; the ordinary Leopard release for home Macs won't work. You can follow the instructions in the README and it installs, but attempts to access the control Web page hang.
The instructions in the webmin Wiki at http://www.webmin.com/osx.html appear very out of date.
