Virtualmin Linux & IIS management

Hi All,

I am new to virtualmin but have been learning about its features on Centos 5.3 and have been very impressed.

I see that it can run on windows am curious about two things.

  1. Can Virtualmin manage the asp/.net (IIS) environment in windows, and if so are there any limitations

  2. If you have both a Linux server setup (for Linux only/PHP sites) and Windows server setup (for ASP sites), can virtualmin manage both through a single administration interface, or do you have independant admin console for each.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Howdy,

Well, while Webmin itself can run on Windows, Virtualmin (which is a Webmin module) might be a bit more shaky.

The list of supported OS's and distros is here:

Virtualmin works best on UNIXy OS's.

Windows isn't really where Virtualmin excels at the moment.

If you do have multiple servers setup -- the Cloudmin product is capable of offering a single user interface to manage all your Virtualmin instances.

Thanks for the Feedback Eric.

At present I have a couple servers, Linux using Centos 5.3 and also a windows 2008 IIS for ASP developments.

I would like to be able to manage both servers with one console if possible, not neccessarily the asp server setup but have a central place for Website management, ie virtual websites, emails, traffic monitoring, etc.

Is it possible to manage the majority of things via virtualmin but redirect to the IIS server when a site requires ASP??

redirect as in call a different url to execute asp ? Yes, just edit your apache server templates and use the proper calls. If you mean to auto setup IIS sorry but virtualmin is strictly a linux thing.
