Web VPS

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. For more info pleae visit www.webmin.com

In this small tutorial I will explain you how to install webmin on CentOS. It is pretty simple operation where with just few steps you will have the webmin control panel up and running on your server.

First you will need to download the file from their official downloads page.

Using the command line you can also download it with wget. To do that just exec this command:

wget http://ift.tt/1mhXduO;

Once the file is downloaded you can install it with:

rpm -Uvh webmin-1.690-1.noarch.rpm

That’s it. After that you can log in at:

http://YOUR_IP_ADDRESS:10000

Another method that you can use to install webmin is yum. Yum also allows you to keep Webmin update to date extremely easy (yum update)

To do that edit "/etc/yum.repos.d/webmin.repo" with the following command:

nano /etc/yum.repos.d/webmin.repo

and put the following text in the file:

[Webmin]
name=Webmin Distribution Neutral
#baseurl=http://ift.tt/1mhXdL3;
mirrorlist=http://ift.tt/1s7kPJF;
enabled=1

save and close the file.

After that import the GPG key.

wget http://ift.tt/1mhXdL5;
rpm --import jcameron-key.asc

and once everything is done you can install webmin with:
