Issues with installing Webmin: Exercise 11.4: Adding a New Repository

troy_dowler

I created the webmin repo; '/etc/yum.repos.d/webmin.repo'

Running 'sudo dnf install webmin' I get the below error.

Hi @troy_dowler,

Try changing http to https as well as changing the baseurl and mirror list:

Repo-baseurl : https://download.webmin.com/download/newkey/yum
Repo-Mirrors : https://download.webmin.com/download/newkey/yum/mirrorlist

I had to Google this one.

Hi @troy_dowler,

I tried to reproduce the issue but the lab worked for me (did it on CentOS 8). What distro and version are you running?

You also can use the instructions in the webmin page:

https://webmin.com/download/

The command should be able to setup the repo for you.

Regards,
Luis.
