How to install webmin on Centos 5.4 and Debian 5.0

For Centos 5.4:

Firstly, install the dependencies:

# yum -y install perl-Net-SSLeay

Then download the rpm package and install it:

# cd /opt # wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/webadmin/files/webmin/1.500/webmin-1.500-1.noarch.rpm/download # rpm -i webmin-1.500-1.noarch.rpm

Then reach your management url:

https://your-hostname-or-ip:10000 The default user is setted to “root” and the password is your root account’s password.

For Debian 5.0:

Firstly, install the dependencies:

# apt-get install perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl libmd5-perl

Then edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file on your system and add the line:

deb http://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge contrib

You should also fetch and install my GPG key with which the repository is signed, with the commands:

# cd /root
# wget http://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc
# apt-key add jcameron-key.asc

Now, you will now be able to install webmin with the commands :

# apt-get update
# apt-get install webmin

The installation will be done automatically to /usr/share/webmin, the administration username set to root 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 you access it remotely, replace localhost with your system’s IP address.
