How to Install Webmin Via SSH/Root Access

Wednesday, October 21, 2009 0:59

Webmin is an open source web interface control panel for Linux servers which helps you take control of all technical aspects as well as all services on your server. You can easily install webmin control panel on your (VPS) Virtual Private Servers or Dedicated Servers. Webmin is a web-based interface for system administration for Unix. Using any browser that supports tables and forms (and Java for the File Manager module), you can setup user accounts, Apache, DNS, file sharing and so on. You can install Webmin on your linux server via SSH or root access within minutes. It can be incredibly useful for people who have little knowledge of SSH or Linux itself, since many services can be installed with the click of a few buttons. It’s a Webmin installation tutorial. To install Webmin follow these instruction:
Note: You will need root access to the server to be able to do this.
1) Log into SSH client and Issue the following command via SSH:

wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-x.xxx-x.noarch.rpm

(Replacing x.xxx-x with the corresponding Webmin version.)

2) Once the file has been downloaded, enter this command:

rpm -U webmin-x.xxx-x.noarch.rpm

Give it a couple of minutes, a few messages will come up saying what version of Linux the server is running, then finally how to login to Webmin. If it doesn’t display the login details, they would normally be the following:

Address: http://:10000
Username: root username
Password: root password

    I admire what you have done here. I like the part where you say you are doing this to give back but I would assume by all the comments that this is working for you as well.

    I believe when you need a dictionary to read the first paragraph of a blog post, you really wouldn’t want to continue, especially when you’re in a rush.

    Thanks for the share! I have a question a little off topic. I wanted to start a blog to share my experiences as well as work, but didn’t want it to be too salesy. Do you find your style works best with just sharing?

    Gotta say, I’ve always been sort of curious in the female pheramone industry. It’s quite fascinating, since we really are beasts underneath all these layers of thinking and rationalization. I could unquestionably regard it going, since the raw attraction tricks execute astonishingly well to draw in the other gender.

    I’m sure everyone has their favorites, but what I would like to know is the best web host control panel and the number one reason why it beats the competition.
