Note: AWBS supports Virtualmin PRO and GPL versions.

Configure your server group(s), servers, package types, and packages as per Hosting Configuration - Read First!

In order to make AWBS and Virtualmin work on the same IP, you need to:

1. Enter Webmin (If you're using virtualmin theme you will have to click on Webmin)
2. Go to Servers->Apache Webserver
3. Click on "Module configuration"
4. in the dropdown, choose "System Configuration"
5. Find a line "Command to apply configuration"
6. By default, it is set to restart server. change it to "Use apachectl or HUP signal", or (as I did) - enter custom command - "/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd graceful"
7. Save

This way each time virtual host is created, apache will not restart, but just apply configuration.

How to run AWBS on Virtualmin GPL:
When creating a host, AWBS will complain that "/usr/libexec/webmin/virtual-server/modify-limits.pl is not found".
Although the virtual host will be created in Virtualmin, AWBS will not mark the job as complete and wont remove the job from queue.
The workaround solution is to simply create the file.

vi /usr/libexec/webmin/virtual-server/modify-limits.pl

And put into it:
############################################
#!/usr/bin/perl


print "Just a dummy output. Nothing is done.\n";
exit(0);
############################################

The file seems to be responsible for upgrading packages and adding addons. So AWBS will not be able to upgrade packages automatically.

The tricky thing is to synchronize package features in AWBS and Virtualmin. It may sound obvious, but if the module is not installed in Virtualmin and is set to "true" in AWBS package configuration - error will be raised and account not created.
In particular, it is true for antivirus, antispam features (the features are not available in GPL version probably).
