What a great tutorial, thanks for posting this. Ubuntu server is amazing, it is running on a 533 Mhz PC with 384 MB of RAM, using 48 MB of memory normally. Webmin is a great front end. This is a concise and light install that EVERYONE should be using!!

Great tutorial, I have read many like it, but all fail to go that one step further. How to setup FTP so you can upload and download website files. something like Pureftp that can access the folder where the website files reside so I can connect dreamweaver to it. My server is on my local network and is just for testing and learning but no matter how many times and in how many different ways I re-install from tutorials, I cannot connect to it using ftp. (p.s. this is not a router or firewall thing)

I got the install done and added a user. I setup outlook on an xp machine to use the user on the Hardy Heron server. When I try to add the user, the test email goes through just fine, but I outlook fails to logon to the incoming server. I can go into webmin and see that the test email got there. What do I have to do to logon from outlook. I have my mail.brocomp.com pointing to my public ip and the router is setup to point to the hardy server for mail. I wouldn’t be seeing the emails in webmin if it wasn’t right, I guess. I am an abolute beginner to linux. Thanks in advance.

Awesome!

I installed Ubuntu 8.10 Server with LAMP, Open SSH and SAMBA. Used my router to setup a Static IP address for the MAC address on my Ubuntu server, so I didn’t have to mess with editing any config files on the server as it is still setup as DHCP. Logged into my Ubuntu server using putty from my winblows box and followed this guide Option 2 to install webmin. But I connected to

first to see what the latest version of webmin was and then updated the above wget and sudo dpkg lines to reflect the latest version (1.441). Everything went beautifully on the first attempt.

I did have to use https://serverip:10000 instead of my server name. I love it. Not that I’m lazy but I’m glad to have a more obvious GUI to setup my linux box instead of editing all of the config files. Really great.

Now, off to find a guide as good as this one for setting up the web pages for apache. My single goal for this setup is to learn how to setup a membership based website using MySQL and PHP. Hopefully the built in LAMP server will run Zend optimization, else I’ll be trying to figure out how to get Zend Optimizer installed.

Great tutorial!

try
sudo su
and then your password.
now your root.

P.S. be sure to use
exit
when your done to logout of root.

Well I am quite a noob. I installed ubuntu 7.04 fiesty fawn from live cd and did everything right and didn’t face any kind of problem. I upgraded my ubuntu to 7.10 and then to 8.04 online. But after upgrading to 8.04 I wasn’t able to connect to internet, really don’t know why. When I tried to configure it, it showed that ethernet driver not supported.Also my sound card was not detected. When I tried to install my driver using my motherboard cd as we do in xp, it said the installation should be done in root.I didn’t know what to do. Help needed, fast. Please!!!!

In reference to post 35 and all other virtualbox people

I had the same problem but i figured out that you can not be connected to another network.
In other words if you are connected to the internet you can’t connect to the virtual machine (unless maybe if you used bridging and no NAT…hummm… I will report on this soon.)

First, thank you so much for the tutorial. I am quite a noob and did quite well with the installation. I am trying to access the ubuntu server via putty or webmin from my main windows environment but can’t seem to. The only way I could see webmin was to type https://localhost:10000/ in the address bar within the VirtualBox / Ubuntu environment. I tried ipconfig in the commandline within VirtualBox and placing the ip address in the main windows environment browser, but couldn’t get it to work. (btw, I tried what was next to “inet addr:xy.x.y.xy” in both etho and lo) Putty would also need an ip address and port. I just can’t seem to access outside of the virtualbox.

I want to have my server running in VirtualBox minimized while I develop in Windows; I would like to learn ssh with putty or similar. Is this possible? If so, can someone explain what I am doing incorrectly? Thank you.

ubuntu, loaded on VirtualBox (also loaded the Linux GUI desktop)

Thanks, but im doing all of this inside of VirtualBox, is there any problems with doing it this way?

Great tutorial thank you for taking the time to help all of us. I am a newbie, I am thinking of installing the Webmin project to help out on the command line. How do I get to my browser from the command prompt or how do I know that I have a brower I haven’t seen one? Please tell me how to install mozilla firefox from the command prompt on the server.

Thanks again you’re the best.
