Installing Webmin (Tar Verison)

The following simple steps will install the webmin control panel for you.

 

wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/webadmin/files/webmin/1.620/webmin-1.620.tar.gz/download

tar -xvf webmin-1.620.tar.gz

cd webmin-1.620

./setup.sh /usr/local/webmin

 

Typically you can connect to Webmin at http://localhost:10000/. Or if accessing it remotely, replace localhost with your system's IP address.

Follow all of the steps after the install script is ran and within moments the control panel will be installed.

**note

Configuring Your Firewall For Webmin

 

  Login as root via SSH, and manually edit the firewall configuration file. On Redhat and derived systems, this is /etc/sysconfig/iptables, while on Debian it is /var/lib/iptables. The line you need to add is :

 

-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 10000 -j ACCEPT

 

It should be added in the file just after similar lines which grant access to ports 80, 22 and so on.

 

Once this line has been added, you will need to apply the firewall configuration. This is typically done with the command /etc/init.d/iptables restart
