Unable to install webmin modules

[bclinton]

I have a pink V02 model pogoplug. I have everything working on it thanks to some great tutorials on here. I have webmin running fine. I can not however seem to be able to install any add ons (modules). I get file not found error every time I try to install one. Whether I try to install one of the included ones or download the tar file and extract the wbm file. It seems to immediately go to file not found. Anyone ran in to this?

Any advise is much appreciated....

This what upstream arch have done, removed binaries used to install modules.
You could always build via abs, edit PKGBUILD so you have ability

Thanks for the reply. What you said is way over my head.

Thanks for the explanation though.

Considering that "build via abs, edit PKGBUILD" is probably beyond me at the moment, what does webmin offer without any additional modules? Is it still worth installing? (So far I'm concentrating on SMB (working great) and FTP (haven't tackled it yet) on my PPE02)

You can use /opt/webmin/install-module.pl modulepath.wbm

That seems to work for me but now another issue has popped up. When I try to install the PPTP module client. It says my webmin version is 1.61 and should be 1.62. When I try to upgrade it via webmin it says file not found. gggrrrrr....

Here is how to build
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'pacman -Sy base-devel abs
#edit /etc/abs.conf to remove multilib
abs core
abs
cd /var/abs/extra/webmin
nano PKGBUILD
#edit , get rid of lines (or comment with a #) just below
#"# remove update stuff to avoid problems.........."
#"# remove modules add because we ............"
makepkg -Acs --asroot
pacman -U webmin-1.610-1<hit tab key here>')
It's installed, restart webmin or reboot

Hi - I ran the recommended code and it completed with no errors. The problem is I do not have this folder /var/abs/extra/webmin

Webmin 1.61 works fine on my system just doesnt appear to be in that location.

[pepedog]

I don't think you run abs. That pulls all the files down.
The whole thing, including installing the new webmin, takes about 7 minutes as there is no compiling

[bclinton]

Here is a dump of what ran. I manually tried to cd /var/abs/extra/webmin at the end and you can see that the dir is not found.

Sorry to be a pest and I do appreciate you trying...
