Doing so will make Webmin slower, break some features and force use of the old ugly UI." It also means that if you break Apache you'd also break Webmin making recovery harder. I'd suggest very stongly that you *don't* run webmin under Apache unless you have to and not until you've had a lot of experience using it to configure systems. -- Bruce Clement Home: http://www.clement.co.nz/ Twitter: http://twitter.com/Bruce_Clement Directory: http://www.searchme.co.nz/ "Before attempting to create something new, it is vital to have a good appreciation of everything that already exists in this field."
