It is important that if you are going to install this from ports that you also install portuprade with it. &nbsp;I have found that updating through webmin to newer versions can cause things in Webmin not to work:<br />

Look at 4.5.4.2 Upgrading Ports using Portupgrade<br />
<br />
That is the only Gotcha I have experienced with Webmin ;-)<br />

Hope this helps!<br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
I am running a FreeBSD 6 server. It has been customized and is now running a few websites, mail servers etc. and I am looking into getting a control panel to help out with some day-to-day admin. I have been looking at webmin. Does anyone know if installing webmin at this point is going to cause problems with the server since I have made configurations (and webmin might not be expecting the configurations done in this way)?<br />
<br />
Thanks.<br />

Webmin on FreeBSD

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
