2) Install Webmin

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.Currently There is no Webmin package in the Ubuntu repositories.This tutorial will explain how to Install Webmin in Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex

Preparing your system

First you need to install the following packages

  • sudo aptitude install perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl libmd5-perl

Now download the latest webmin using the following command or from here

  • wget http://garr.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/webadmin/webmin_1.441_all.deb

Now we have webmin_1.441_all.deb package install this package using the following command

  • sudo dpkg -i webmin_1.441_all.deb

So now you are complete the installation. hahaha it’s very easy :)

When the install finishes reboot the system using

  • sudo reboot

The server should load the GUI on the reboot. If not then run

  • sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start

to bring up the Gnome interface.

Now you need to open your web browser and enter the following

  • https://your server ip:10000/

After login if you want to configure Apache,Mysql server you need to click on Servers on your lefthand side you should many servers are ready to configure…..
