I have an almost virgin install of ML8.2 running and I am trying to
bring up
some sever applications.  So far the only one I have in a usable state
is
TightVNC and though I haven't tuned it the way I want it ... it is
running
nicely.  I have the box on a private IP address and the router is using
NAT
to send VNC requests to the box.

During the install, Apache, BIND, and PostFix and MySQL were installed
with
defaults and now I want to use them.

To try to educate myself, I bought the O'Reilly books on Apache and BIND
and
have been working my way through them.  I installed and have running M$
DNS
(on a 2000 box), IIS (on a NT4 box), a mail server (not Exchange) so I
have
some experience with these type applications.

Here is one problem I keep running into:  I can't find stuff.  For
example,
Webmin was also installed on this system (after the initial install)
from
the Mandrake CDs.  I executed it when I was infront of computer so I
think
it is working.  Then for documentation I go to the webmin site and they
tell
me the rpm installs this application in /usr/libexec/webmin.  When I go
there and try to list the files; there is no such folder.

I want to configure webmin to run under apache.  I locate the
documentation
for putting webmin in a virtual folder and the first sentence says:
"Create
a new Apache virtual server with the document set to the directory where
you
installed Webmin".  How do I find out where that was done?

If there is more technical/detailed information on the Mandrake
installation
process, I would appreciate a link to that place.  Thanks in advance,
Carter.
