Regardless, we all need to be aware and take "appropriate steps"* to mitigate. BTW, my niece's husband works for Automattic (the company behind Wordpress).Įvery server has similar issues. Be certain to avoid the dangerous WP plugins/addons and poorly maintained themes. There are some recent write-ups about attackers specifically against wordpress. There are faster, less expensive, VPS options, but I've never used those either.īe very careful running wordpress. Seems too expensive for anything longer than a few hours. Not sure if you are familiar with their services or not, but if you are, maybe you could give me a bit more advice as to what direction to go in? I am sort of limited to what OS I can use since I am using AWS. I figured webmin would make things easier, not harder. Perhaps using one of them and learning about the lack of flexibility first hand would be good? People have asked for a GUI to do this stuff for decades. For server management, use the shell when you are new. Learn to do it the Unix way, from the shell. I spoke with all the Unix gurus at work and they made the same suggestion I made to you above. Fortunately, it was even harder to get webmin installed and working back then, so I failed. When I was new, I searched and searched for some GUI, any GUI to make management of my Linux system a little easier. Hopefully, the firewall only allows access to localhost for webmin, virtualmin, and mysql - though I can see opening the mysql port for the exact, specific, non-public, IPs for client access. OTOH, if someone with 5+ yrs of server admin experience sets up these tools for you, then they will likely be sufficiently secured (probably through an ssh tunnel) to be used. They just don't have a sufficient background to secure it properly. For people really new to Linux, webmin generally just makes taking over their systems by hackers much easier. If you want to learn Linux, don't use webmin. Which just tells me to try 'apt-get -f install' Sudo apt-get purge mysql-server mysql-client mysql-common mysql-server-core-5.5 mysql-client-core-5.5 I have tried doing 'apt-get -f install Which does not work.

Ok so first I have a (small) issue while installing webmin which is here Error installing webmin on ubuntu 16.04 () after fixing that everything worked fine and I was able to login to webmin no problem. I posted this on stackexchange but haven't gotten a reply and am really curious as to what is wrong.įirst I just want to say I am fairly new to linux and even newer to setting up a server, so please bear with me.
