Finding stories in everyday adventures
If Webmin is unable to send emails, for example, from automated backups, then following fix may work for you. Before this ensure you have some kind of mail configured on your system. If not, here’s a guide to configure ssmtp Basically, you need to go to Webmin Configuration and check “Sending Email” configuration. For me, it was a matter of setting “From” address. Quite simple, but took me hours to figure out..
Edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file on your system and add the lines : deb http://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge contrib deb http://webmin.mirror.somersettechsolutions.co.uk/repository sarge contrib You should also fetch and install GPG key with which the repository is signed, with the commands : cd /root wget http://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc apt-key add jcameron-key.asc You will now be able to install with the commands : apt-get update apt-get install webmin All dependencies should be resolved automatically.
