Question
I downloaded the file, but when I try to install it fails with message "...missing module.info file".
Answer
This is a problem with the download. The file you downloaded is corrupt (damaged).
You have the following Options to solve the Problem:
If you downloaded per HTTP and Netscape, hold the left Shift-key and click with the mouse
on the link, or try FTP, see below
When downloading per FTP, be sure, that you download in binary (Image) mode, not in ASCII mode!,
although when some FTP clients think they are downloading a textfile.
The solution which was successful in 100% of all cases is to enter the URL of the module
(for example http://www.niemueller.de/webmin/modules/ipchains/ipchains-0.xx.y.wbm) in the
install form and then Webmin downloads the file correctly for you
Question
I tried to install module X but it says "Module X does not
support this operating system (Mandrake Linux 8.0)". What can I do?
Answer
This problem will be solved when the new version of the appropriate module
comes out. Till the do the following:
untar with "tar xvfz module-version.wbm.gz"
Edit the file module-dir/module.info with your favorite editor
Change the line starting with os_support to "os_support=*"
package the module again with "tar cvfz module-version.NEW.wbm.gz ./module"
Install as usual the file module-version.NEW.wbm.gz
