@darklid: not sure if it applies to you, but please read this entire thread.

At very least you should be able to glean info from the log they mentioned.

The first time I when installing pure-ftpd I clicked to install perl-threaded.

Is that why webmin wouldn't install?

 

[darklid]

Nope I installed normal perl this time around and still ger the.

error

For grins, do:
# cd /usr/ports/sysutils/webmin && make distclean
... and try again.

If it's still not working, please actually read the log that thread mentioned.

I have even installed it through this:

fetch [url]http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.520.tar.gz[/url]
gunzip webmin-1.520.tar.gz
tar -xvf webmin-1.520.tar
cd webmin-1.520
./setup.sh

And still get the same error.

I have also just reinstalled perl too.
