Webmin installation on openfiler

June 6, 2014 by Rumi

Download the latest Webmin RPM to openfiler from this page: (You want "RPM suitable for Redhat, Fedora, CentOS, SuSE or Mandrake Linux")
http://www.webmin.com/download.html

Copy the link from the webpage to download the correct RPM file and download it on Openfiler using the following command. If you are downloading a more updated copy of Webmin then replace the "webmin-1.510-1.noarch.rpm" with the correct filename:

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

After it's downloaded in the root users home directory you need to convert the RPM to CPIO format to extract it, do this with the following command. (Once again replacing the "webmin-1.510-1.noarch.rpm" with the correct filename") :

Install Webmin on Debian Linux

November 25, 2012 by Rumi

If you are using the DEB version of webmin, first download the file from the downloads page , or run the command :wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin_1.610_all.debthen run the command :

dpkg --install webmin_1.610_all.deb

The install will be done automatically to /usr/share/webmin, the administration username set toroot and the password to your current root password. You should now be able to login to Webmin at the URL http://localhost:10000/. Or if accessing it remotely, replace localhost with your system's IP address.

If Debian complains about missing dependencies, you can install them with the command :

apt-get install perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl apt-show-versions pythonIf

you are installing on Ubuntu and the apt-get command reports that some of the packages cannot be found, edit /etc/apt/sources.list and make sure the lines ending with universe are not commented out.

Some Debian-based distributions (Ubuntu in particular) don't allow logins by the root user by default. However, the user created at system installation time can use sudo to switch to root. Webmin will allow any user who has this sudo capability to login with full root privileges.

If you want to connect from a remote server and your system has a firewall installed, see this page for instructions on how to open up port 10000.

Install nginx on virtualmin (GPL) server

August 26, 2012 by Rumi

Installing Nginx Support

Switching a system from the Apache webserver (installed by default by Virtualmin to Nginx should only be done if no virtual servers with websites have been created yet. Ideally the change should be done on a freshly installed system, running RHEL 6.0, CentOS 6.0 or Debian 6.0 or later. Virtualmin version 3.89 or above is also required.

The steps to remove Apache and install Nginx are :

Shut down Apache with the command /etc/init.d/httpd stop ; service httpd off (on RHEL or CentOS), or /etc/init.d/apache2 stop ; update-rc.d apache2 remove (on Debian).
Install Nginx with the command yum install nginx (on RHEL or CentOS) or apt-get install nginx (on Debian).
Start the Nginx webserver with the command /etc/init.d/nginx start
Install Virtualmin's Nginx plugin with the command yum install wbm-virtualmin-nginx wbm-virtualmin-nginx-ssl (on RHEL or CentOS) or apt-get install webmin-virtualmin-nginx webmin-virtualmin-nginx-ssl (on Debian).
