Overview

The (ve) Server comes with the Parallels Power Panel which provides you with the ability to monitor resources, stop/start services, configure firewall rules, repair your server, and more! However, it does not manage file sharing or virtual hosting.

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.

Before you start

You'll need to make sure that you have a LAMP stack already installed on your (ve). For more information, please read this article: Install LAMP on CentOS.

Installation

Install the PRM

Grab the latest file from the Webmin site. Then run this command:

rpm -U webmin-1.520-1.noarch.rpm

The rest of the install will be done automatically to the directory /usr/libexec/webmin, the username is root and the password to your current root password. You should now be able to login to Webmin at the URL http://example.com:10000/.

Using the Webmin YUM repository

If you like to install and update Webmin via RPM, create the /etc/yum.repos.d/webmin.repo file:

[Webmin]
name=Webmin Distribution Neutral
baseurl=http://download.webmin.com/download/yum
enabled=1

You should also fetch and install this GPG key with which the packages are signed, with the command:

rpm --import http://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc

You will now be able to install:

yum install webmin

You should now be able to login to Webmin at the URL http://example.com:10000/. The username is root and the password to your current root password.
