Hello all. I am trying to use Webmin on Mandrake 8.0 and it works fine except for the Apache Server configuration. Whenever I try to get in, I get this error:
"The Apache server executable does not exist. If you have Apache installed, adjust the module configuration to use the correct path."
I'm pretty sure it exists, as I am using Webmin AND serving other content.
Well, in the module configuration it asks for the "Path to httpd executable:". I'm not sure what it is looking for here (not the actual path, but what the 'executable' is...) Does anyone know?
I think I have the other parameters correct as they are lifted straight out of the httpd.conf file.

I know this is a newbie question, but hey, I'm a newbie. I appreciate your help.
Thanks a lot!

i don't use webmin but usually to start apache you would use 'apachectl [start|stop|restart]' so i guess you might find out the path to apachectl on your system.

Yeah, that's exactly what I thought, too. I put in that path, but it gives me the error above. Hmmmm...this SHOULD be pretty darn simple. Any other ideas out there?

I guess you will have to locate the pages that Webmin serves, open them up in your editor of choice, and start tracing how and where the Apache file(s) are called/executed. See if some cgi-scripts are called, look into those, etc.

That would be my approach at this time anyway ....

Cheers :)
