Webmin; installation and configuration - page eight

Webmin is a web-based interface for system administration for Unix like systems. 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.

To get and install the latest Debian package, open a root terminal and;
navigate to the tmp directory
cd /tmp

download webmin;
wget http://www.webmin.com/download/deb/webmin-current.deb

 Installing it will fail, but we can easily fix that afterwards.
dpkg -i  webmin-current.deb


To download required dependencies and fix the failed install run; apt-get install -f

You can access webmin through a web browser from your host server at;
https://localhost:10000

or through a web browser on any machine within your network at;
https://<your-host-name>:10000 
or
https://192.168.1.50:10000

To begin with, you will only be able to log in to webmin with your root account. Log in to webmin and navigate to;
webmin | webmin users | create webmin group

Create a group webminusers, then select the 'convert unix users to webmin users' and convert your initial user account to a webmin account.

While still on the Webmin users page, click on the newly created webmin user group. Click on 'available webmin modules' select all and the click the save button.

You can now log into webmin with either the root account or the initial account you created and have full root privledges through webmin.

Now! Do all the Webmin install again onto the VPS you created.

When finished, you can manage your host;
through webmin at     https://localhost:10000
your hosts VPS'S at    http://localhost:3000 

and your VPS through webmin at     https://192.168.1.61:10000
