I just installed 1.070 from a freshly updated ports collection and there =
didn't seem to be any problem at all with the installation. I'm new to =
this so please put up with my simplistic perspective on the problem at =
hand.

I had no problem with the make, make install or the make clean. I then =
ran the setup.sh as instructed and no error messages were produced. I =
did notice that the final note of the setup.sh was to use the username =
and password I had previously used but this was the first installation =
on this box and I had never provided one in the past to a previous =
installation. Please help with this as well.

But the real reason for the email is this:

As instructed, I used my browser on another machine to go to =
https://host:10000 and was unsuccessful.

Here's what I found with a little poking around:

The used portion of the swap file continues to grow and grow, the size =
column in top on the host eventually hits 400+MB for the perl process, =
the console begins to spit out swap_pager_getswapspace: failed after a =
few minutes and the I get:

PID 247 (perl), uid 0, was killed: out of swap space.

Then Mozilla on the client computer tells me that the connection to the =
host has terminated unexpectedly.

Any suggestions from anyone?

Thanks so much in advance for everyone being there for newbies like us.

p.s. Is there a Webmin IRC channel or at least an IRC channel on which =
folks frequently discuss webmin?
