webmin, how do i install??!!

[greenhorn]

I'm trying to install the webmin administration tool on debian 4.0


i try: apt-get install webmin

and get
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Package webmin is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package webmin has no installation candidate

what is the problem? am i "ordering" the wrong package?

You could look at Debian help

thanks for the reply.

But I've tried that, it didn't work.

I've also checked my /etc/apt/sources.list file. Everything seems to be in order.

Is there some error on my end, or is it something on the source server?

a google search webmin apt - Google Search

will turn up a very nice result like this one
Webmin

Webmin is available in oldstable sources. add oldstable source and install it with apt-get.

[thorgal]

just grab the .deb package from the webmin website and install it as root from a shell :

dpkg -i <webmin .deb. package>

if it complains about dependencies not met, then type

apt-get -f install

which will correct for the missing deps.

You can install it from sources:

tar xfz webmin-1.350.tar.gz
cd webmin-1.350
sh setup.sh

Then, if you accepted defaults during setup, in browser enter:

localhost:10000
