Install webmin on Redhat, Fedora, CentOS

Written by Mel Kham on . Posted in Linux tutorials

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 remotelyyou can also create backups for the system and restore.




Webmin is very usefull also for people that they run their own home server, and are not very good using the command line, webmin will help you administer your server with a graphic interface.

To install webmin on redhat,fedora, and CentOS :

First check for some dependencies if are installed

yum install perl-Net-SSLeay 

Now download latest version of webmin 1.480 :

wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.480-1.noarch.rpm

Now install :

rpm -i webmin-1.480-1.noarch.rpm

Now to run webmin localy type :

https://localhost:10000

To login to another system remotely :

https://server-adress:10000

Note that many operating systems block by default port 10000, so if you can not login to webmin in your remote server ,follow step bellow to resolve it :

Login to your server via ssh ,and manually edit the firewall configuration file. On Redhat and derived systems, this is /etc/sysconfig/iptables

and add this line :

-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 10000 -j ACCEPT

It should be added in the file just after similar lines which grant access to ports 80, 22 and so on.

Now restart your iptables.

/etc/init.d/iptables restart

Just one thing:

What about pep8 in your python code ? How can you give ‘tutorials’ on quite popular website, of such a bad quality ?

Larry Page is not being completely honest! The manner in which the PRISM program/project works does not need access from company administrators or owners, so called “direct access”; the access to the information is already there. These tech company CEOs take for granted the actual intelligence of most end users of their products. All it takes is a little digging and reading to go from ignorant to informed on these things especially on exactly how the internet works/functions in the U.S.A. I find Larry Page’s remarks just as laughable as Al Gore’s claim to “inventing” the internet/world wide web!

If you, as an end user, are reading this post; I challenge you to research these matters yourself. It really is quite simple with all the “information sites” that exist on the web today ie Wikipedia, & other online encyclopedias that actually list source material, as well as highly respected tech sites and blogs that also list their source material. Be warned: this is only the tip of the iceberg and these tech CEOs know and understand this; they are scrambling in attempt to perform DAMAGE CONTROL to save the company and what little trust thay have left from their products end users/consumers.

Am I a skeptic? I believe someone has to be or needs to be at this point in time! If your not just a little skeptical of the government, tech companies, and the people that are in charge of these agencies and companies; you need to be, even if just a little skeptic. For your own personal protection and security! I know I was a part of this community for over 14 years!

As I understand it so do VLC use same encoders as ffmpeg. And yes, there are less code that can break when you use command line instead of a graphical UI.

And may I ask what mono has to do with VLC? *facepalm*
