Installation Webmin in CentOS 64 bit system

In this case, we try to install Webmin 1.6 in Centos 5.x or 6.x with 64 bit architecture.

First, install sofware needed for webmin with yum.

yum -y install perl-Net-SSLeay

Then, Download webmin, and install it.

cd /usr/local/src
wget http://hivelocity.dl.sourceforge.net/project/webadmin/webmin/1.610/webmin-1.610-1.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh webmin-1.610-1.noarch.rpm
rm -f webmin-1.610-1.noarch.rpm

After installation complete, you can access your webmin from https://yourip:10000 and use root as username and your root password. Relpace your IP with actual IP in your server.

If you have problem accessing webmin, maybe you enable selinux and enable iptables, set disable selinux and make accept connection to port 10000.

setenforce 0
iptables -I INPUT 4 -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 10000 -j ACCEPT
service iptables save
