Here is all you need to do to get it installed:
It is good practice to NOT use your root account for server maintenance. So let us create a second root user for these types of actions
login: root Password: [root@xyz ~]# passwd Changing password for user root. New UNIX password: Retype new UNIX password: passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully. [root@localhost]# adduser secondrootuser [root@localhost]# passwd secondrootuser Changing password for user secondrootuser. New UNIX password: Retype new UNIX password: passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully. [root@localhost]# [root@localhost]# exit NOW log back in as su user login: secondrootuser Password: [secondrootuser@localhost]$ su root Password:
This will install some dependencies.
[secondrootuser@localhost]# yum -y install perl-Net-SSLeay
Go to http://prdownloads.s...e.net/webadmin/ and note the latest version
Install the system:
[secondrootuser@localhost]# cd /usr/src [secondrootuser@localhost]# wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/webadmin/files/webmin/1.480/webmin-1.480-1.noarch.rpm/download (latest version) [secondrootuser@localhost]# rpm --import http://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc [secondrootuser@localhost]# yum localinstall webmin-1.480-1.noarch.rpm
After you've completed the installation, you should be able to access your webmin panel at https://yourhost.com:10000
Log in as root.
Note: If on typing the URL in browser, you get a no page found message. Make sure Webmin is running.
Start Webmin: using command line
[secondrootuser@localhost]#/etc/webmin/start
using your sudo root
[secondrootuser@localhost]#sudo /etc/webmin/start
you can also restart webmin by
[secondrootuser@localhost]#sudo /etc/webmin/restart
Set Webmin to Auto Start on Server Startup.
[secondrootuser@localhost]#chkconfig --level 23 webmin on [secondrootuser@localhost]#chkconfig --list webmin
Note: if chkconfig is not installed you can install it by
[secondrootuser@localhost]#yum -y install chkconfig
