48.3. Registering a Server

Before this module can be used to manage another system's software, that system must be added to its list of servers. To do this, follow these steps:

1.
Use the Webmin Servers Index module to add the remote system, and make sure you provide a username and password. This does not have to be done, however, if you want to manage the master server.

2.
In this module, select the system from the menu next to the Add server button and then click it. The menu will usually include the special entry this server, which is the master system. It will never, however, include any servers that have already been added.

You can also select an entire group of servers from the menu next to Add servers in group. Groups can be defined in the Webmin Servers Index module as well.

3.
A page showing all of the hosts added and the number of packages on each will be displayed. If a host cannot be contacted or the RPC login fails, an error message explaining what went wrong for that host will appear.

4.
Return to the module's main page, on which a new icon for each host should now be listed.

The most common cause of problems when adding a server is an incorrect username or password entered for that host in the Webmin Servers Index module. You must provide the root or admin login, not that of some other user. Adding can also fail if a firewall is blocking connections between the two hosts, or if the master Webmin server is configured to use an HTTP proxy that is disallowing the RPC HTTP request.
