One: introduction to webmin

1 the administrator accesses various management functions of Webmin through the browser and completes the corresponding management actions. At present, Webmin supports the vast majority of Unix systems, which include AIX, HPUX, Solaris, Unixware, Irix and FreeBSD in addition to various versions of linux.

2 Webmin allows you to remotely manage your host through the Web interface using a Web browser that supports the HTTPS (HTTP over SSL) protocol. This provides simple and deep remote management on the premise of ensuring security. This makes Webmin ideal for system administrators because all major platforms have Web browsers that meet or exceed the above requirements. Moreover, Webmin has its own "Web server", so there is no need to run third-party software (such as a Web server). Everything is ready. Webmin's modular architecture allows you to write your own configuration modules when needed. In addition to the modules introduced here, Webmin includes many modules. Although we will focus on network services for now, you will see that almost every part of your system can be configured and managed through Webmin, and sometimes this software can be installed in a Linux environment.

Another software that can be seen as a simplified version of Webmin that is mainly aimed at ordinary users is Usermin. It allows you to use the browser on the remote computer to directly modify the user account, Apache, DNS, file sharing and other settings in the server. The user installs the Webmin on the server, then sets the "IP address" and "port" that the Webmin can access, and enters a "specific" name and password for the user to access the server remotely. The function of Webmin is similar to that of Linuxconf, but it has the feature of remote control.

Second: webmin installation-- RPM

Execute command: wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.930-1.noarch.rpm

Install optional dependencies: yum-y install perl perl-Net-SSLeay openssl perl-IO-Tty perl-Encode-Detect

Rpm package installation: rpm-U webmin-1.930-1.noarch.rpm

Three: visit the webmin of the web interface

The rest of the installation will be completed automatically to the directory / usr / libexec / webmin, with the administrative user name set to root and the password set to the current root password. You should now be able to log in to Webmin via URL https:// localhost:10000 /. Or, if you want to access it remotely, replace localhost with the IP address of the system.

4: other versions and installation methods
