Install Webmin on CentOS 5.5 for Linux Administration

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

      Webmin consists of a simple web server, and a number of CGI programs which directly update system files like /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/passwd. The web server and all CGI programs are written in Perl version 5, and use no non-standard Perl modules.

Here the step to install webmin:

First install some dependencies:

# yum -y install perl-Net-SSLeay

 Download latest webmin (you can find it here)

# cd /tmp/

# wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.510-1.noarch.rpm

 Install the webmin

 # rpm -Uvh  webmin-1.510-1.noarch.rpm

Remove installer webmin

 # rm  webmin-1.510-1.noarch.rpm

Done!!!
Now you can access webmin at http://YourServerIP:10000/ with yours root user and password.

To change standard port webmin (ex. from 10000 to 8888)

# vi /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf

Change value of "port" and  "listen" from 10000 to 8888.

# service webmin restart

Now you can access webmin at http://YourIpServerIP:8888/ with yours root user and password.
