How Do I install webmin? Print

CentOS / Fedora

To check if you are using a distro with RPM login to your server over SSH using you root
login information.

N.B This will not be your root login information I am only using the following information as an Example

username : root
username ok. Password for user roo
Password : toor

Hopefully you are with me so far. Now you will need to download the latest version of
webmin. To do this we use a utility with most linux/unix distributions called wget.

[root@host ~]# wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-x.xxx-x.noarch.rpm

You will then see wget download the rpm file from sourceforge. Once you have done this you
will need to install webmin using the RPM Command. This is done by the following command.

[root@host ~]# rpm -ivh webmin-x.xxx-x.noarch.rpm

However substitue x.xxx-x with the file you downloaded.

Now you have Webmin installed on your CentOS / Fedora system. You can now login to your

webmin install using your root username and password. The URL Will be :

http://yourdomain.com:10000

Webmin runs on the default port 10000 this can be modified using the webmin configuration
