Webmin is a web-based app for system administration for Unix/Linux. With Webmin, you can setup user accounts, web server, mail server and much more.
In this post, I’ll show how to install Webmin on RedHat based distros.
Download webmin with
wget http://www.webmin.com/download/rpm/webmin-current.rpm |
Install webmin with with
rpm -Uvh webmin* |
After installation, start Webmin with “service webmin start”. You can access Webmin via web browser (localhost:10000)
It is good idea to change the default port. To do this, open miniserv.conf (usually /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf) with
nano /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf |
and change the default port number from 10000 to something more secure (port=23345 for example). Save the file and restart Webmin (service webmin restart).
