Yeah, typically I like to use webmin to set something up to see a basic setup, then I go and edit the config file for any specific changes. Sometimes their interface isn't completely clear about what it's doing. Mostly I like webmin for an easy remote interface to see what's going on with the server.<br>

apache and webmin was having some strange parsing errors. This was an<br>
Ubuntu server 8.04 LTS install with the latest apache2 and webmin from<br>
the ubuntu repositories. It was tacking portions of the word<br>
'localhost' or 'localdomain' on to the end of the directive that<br>
specifies the name of the vhost. The strange thing about it was that it<br>
would drop a portion of the end of the vhost name and a portion of the<br>
beginning of the 'localhost' or whatever string it had in mind. I ended<br>
up going back through the vhost files it generated and fixing the issues<br>
manually.<br>
<br>
On the other hand, webmin did a spectacular job of getting virtual<br>
interfaces up to use all the ips assigned to the box. Basic moral of<br>
the story, I guess, is that you shouldn't use webmin to modify anything<br>
that you can't learn to config by hand (but if it's broken and no amount<br>
of googling will help, cross your fingers and go for it?).<br>
