How to Install Webmin in Linux

Webmin is a web-based interface for system administration for Unix. Using any modern web browser, you can setup user accounts, Apache, DNS, file sharing and much more. Webmin removes the need to manually edit Unix configuration files like /etc/passwd, and lets you manage a system from the console or remotely. See the standard modules page for a list of all the functions built into Webmin.

Installing the Webmin RPM

If you are using the RPM version of Webmin, first download the file from the downloads page , or run the command : wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.930-1.noarch.rpm then install optional dependencies with :
yum -y install perl perl-Net-SSLeay openssl perl-IO-Tty perl-Encode-Detect
and then run the command : rpm -U webmin-1.930-1.noarch.rpm The rest of the install will be done automatically to the directory /usr/libexec/webmin, the administration username set to root and the password to your current root password. You should now be able to login to Webmin at the URL http://localhost:10000/. Or if accessing it remotely, replace localhost with your system’s IP address.
