Question 2.
How do i setup a domain on linux apachi

#"passwd" on the linux prompt will help u change the pasword

not sure where in webmin do u do that ..

I think a SSH window can be opened from Webmin.

You'd be able to log in then, probably under a different name than root, then use the SU command to become root, and then the passwd command as told higher.

Webmin > System > Users and Groups > root > password

Just a warning:

Once I changed root password from prompt but later saw that webmin's root password was not synchronized with linux. (webmin .97 I think).

yeah, webmin doesn't resync its password if it was changed via terminal, nor does it when you use the webmin interface. You have to manually resync them.

Your second question:

After setting up DNS and web root directory you should have something like these on your /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf



1 | ServerName servername.domain.com
2 | NameVirtualHost 10.10.6.1
3 |
4 | <VirtualHost 10.10.6.1>
5 | DocumentRoot /var/www/html
6 | ServerName servername.domain.com
7 | </VirtualHost>
8 |
9 | <VirtualHost 10.10.6.1>
10| DocumentRoot /home/mysite/www/
11|ServerName mysite.com
12| ServerAlias www.mysite.com
13| </VirtualHost>



1-7: Default Website and Server configurations

9-13: Other sites (Name based sites, using shared IP address)

It's an option you can set in the webmin users page. By default, it keeps its own list of name and passwords, but you can set it to use the system passwords.
