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.
So now lets install webmin step by step:
Step 0 : Install dependencies
For CentOS 5.1 (or lower) we need to install few dependecies. Just connect to your server through SSH and use the following command:
yum -y install perl-Net-SSLeay
Note: This step is not required in case you are using CentOS 5.2 or above, since they are already present.
Step 2 : Install Webmin
a. Change the directory using the following command
$ cd /usr/src
b. Download webmin package from http://www.webmin.com/download.html
$ wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.520-1.noarch.rpm
Note: You can replace the download link with the latest version of the package.
c. Install RPM
$ rpm -i webmin-1.520-1.noarch.rpm
Step 2: Open Webmin
To open webmin just open the browser and type http://your-ip-address:1000
