How to install WebMin

How to install WebMin

Installation of webmin is extremely easy especially for newbies. We will try to tell how to install webmin via all distributions like rpm, tar.gz and so on..

I am starting to tell installation, assuming you have downloaded your appropirate version of WebMin from here.



Command for installing webmin rpm:
rpm -U webmin-1.430-1.noarch.rpm

The rest of the installation will be done automaticaly on to the directory /usr/libexec/webmin. Login details will be same with your root and rootpassword. You should reach to panel at the url http://YOUR-IP:10000/

-------

Command for Deb package:
dpkg --install webmin_1.430_all.deb

The rest of the installation will be done automaticaly on to the directory /usr/share/webmin. Login details will be same with your root and rootpassword. You should reach to panel at the url http://YOUR-IP:10000/

-------

Command for tar.gz installation:
[root@server /tmp]# gunzip webmin-1.x.tar.gz
[root@server /tmp]# tar xf webmin-1.x.tar
[root@server /tmp]# cd webmin-1.x
[root@server /tmp/webmin-1.x]# ./setup.sh /usr/local/webmin

Before installing webmin from tar.gz, you will need to have Perl5 installed on your server. Perl is usually installed on the directory /usr/bin/perl and is a default package for most types of Linux OSes. You will need to follow the directions prompted on SSH.


Not depending on the way you have installed WebMin, you will need to open port 10000 if you have an active firewall/iptables installed. Otherwise you will be blocked on port 10000 and WebMin will not be used. If your firewall/iptables is blocking the port 10000, obviously you will have to open it to reach the control panel.

Please refer to our Linux section for more information about opening up ports.
