Webmin is a web based control panel for system administrators for Unix/Linux. I use Webmin for reports mainly. More about Webmin here.
This is how you would install Webmin on Centos 4.
- First start by downloading the latest version of Webmin. The current version is 1.400.
I prefer to use use wget to directly download the file onto the server but it’s up to you.
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.400-1.noarch.rpm
- Install the Webmin rpm package.
rpm -ivh webmin-1.400-1.noarch.rpm
[root@proxy0 /]# rpm -ivh webmin-1.400-1.noarch.rpm
warning: webmin-1.400-1.noarch.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 11f63c51
