[HELP] Ubuntu VPS

i am trying to use

wget http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/webadmin/webmin_1.470_all.deb

but it just says could not resolve host

as i need to install webmin can someone help please its urgent

 

anyone ?

 

Are you able to ping other domains? Perhaps your name servers are not set up correctly?

 

it says unable to resol;ve host though :s

 

If you are unable to ping other hosts, you need to check your resolv.conf file and ensure that proper name servers are listed.

 

The link is not correct. Try this

 

What is the contents of your /etc/resolv.conf ? This is a DNS resolution problem so your provider has provided you with non functioning resolvers most likely or none at all. You could add the following to the /etc/resolv.conf to solve the problem for the time being:

nameserver 4.2.2.1
nameserver 4.2.2.2


These are level3 resolvers. I would not advise using them as a permanent solution though they're not always reliable.

 

I'm showing this as a direct link from the one you gave:

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/webadmin/webmin/1.470/webmin_1.470_all.deb

That works for me with a wget.
