HOW TO INSTALL WEBMIN 1.340 IN FEISTY 7.04 server edtion
Some people don't like webmin and work completely from the command line good for them.
I find Webmin gives me an overview of the file structure of linux which has helped me with the understanding of the command line
Webmin is not cheating Its a tool for new users to the linux world
This is how I installed Webmin 1.340 There are other ways but this way worked for me
How to installed webmin 1.340 on feisty 7.04 server edition from the command line
WEBMIN VERSION 1.340
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# First things first Security get this mod libnet-ssleay-perl you can then use ssl https://xxxxxxxxxx:10010
apt-get install libnet-ssleay-perl
#Get the latest webmin and down load it
wget http://easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/webadmin/webmin-1.340.tar.gz
#Then unpack it
sudo tar xzvf webmin-1.340.tar.gz
#Change into the webmin directory
cd webmin-1.340
# This will start the installation and now it will prompt for several questions answer them as follows
sudo sh setup.sh
# Config file directory [/etc/webmin]:y
#Leave as default, or change as you wish
# Log file directory [/var/webmin]:y
#Leave as default, or change as you wish
# Full path to perl (default /usr/bin/perl):
#Leave as default, or change as you wish
## I have set my port to a different one 10010 As a device
#was all ready using that port plus good to be different
Web server port (default 10010): # I have changed my port to 10010
#This is where you can start to make webmin more secure then the standard
#install you get with apt-get, Synaptic, or RPM. Leave as default or
#change it to what ever port you want.
Login name (default admin):
#It is ‘admin’, so you can leave it as that, or put in any name that you like.
Login password:
#By creating the user above and giving it a password,
#you have now made it so you will not need to log into webmin with root.
Password again:
enter your password again
# If you did not install ‘libnet-ssleay-peyrl’ you will get the following message:
# ‘The Perl SSLeay library is not installed. SSL not available.’ You can continue
# with the install, but it would be more secure if you install sslrelay.
Use SSL (y/n):y
#Choose yes here
Start Webmin at boot time (y/n):y
#At this point it is going to configure things, install things, and create things…
#It will then tell you that you can log in to https://hostipaddress:10000 and to accept the certificate.
#Webmin User Password Change
#If you want to change root password in webmin use this included Perl script:
sudo /usr/share/webmin/changepass.pl /etc/webmin root
#if you need to uninstall
/etc/webmin/uninstall.sh
#To start Webmin if you need to
/etc/init.d/webmin start

Hope this helps The new webmin is really different But likable
