Webmin is a great GUI tool for administering your server.
Installing it on Ubuntu 10.04 is a breeze, there are 3 steps:
Step 1: Load the dependencies
|
1 |
apt-get install perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl |
Step 2: Get the package
|
1 |
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin_1.510-2_all.deb |
Step 3: Install the Package
|
1 |
dpkg --install webmin_1.510-2_all.deb |
If this fails, you might need to force the installation with:
|
1 |
apt-get -f install |
That’s it – you can now connect to your server by going to domain.com:10000
See http://www.webmin.com/index.html for more details on this project.
Ubuntu comes with a wide open firewall by default, but if you have hardened this some, don’t forget to open port 10000
|
1 |
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 10000 -j ACCEPT |
