Webmin is a great GUI tool for administering your server.

Installing it on CentOS 5.5 is a breeze, there are 3 steps:

Step 1: Get the RPM, run this command

wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.520-1.noarch.rpm

1	wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.520-1.noarch.rpm

Step 2: Install the RPM, run this command

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

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

Step 3: Open the firewall on port 10000. Run this command

iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 10000 -j ACCEPT

1	iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 10000 -j ACCEPT

That’s it – you can now connect to your server by going to domain.com:10000
