Webmin is one « Web Application » very succeeded, what allows to administer one or several Servers in local or remote. For the neophyte Web application, is a software written with a scripting language which do not compile an achievable file. It has many advantages and also some inconveniences. But mostly, it is only our vision or interpretation of the things that penalizes us. The magic clique where the window smiles upon us, in English « Windows », what is a world of very relative ease. Webmin knows how to configure the biggest server software Unix of the market, which I you the reminder, are for the greater part free.
In our precise case under FreeBSD, Linux and Unix we need it for Apache, Bind, MySQL, ProFTPD, Samba, Squid, Webalizer, etc.
Necessary softwares and servers:
Operating system: Fedora 12 FC12 or FreeBSD-7.3 or FreeBSD-8.1 or another Unix.
Components or Perl language Packages:
Linux - Perl Modules CPAN
FreeBSD 7.3-RELEASE ou FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE
portupgrade -N gzip press Enter
Perl Modules CPAN
portupgrade -N p5-Authen-Libwrap press Enter
portupgrade -N p5-IO-Tty press Enter
portupgrade -N p5-Libwww press Enter
portupgrade -N p5-Net-SSLeay press Enter

Then
# cd webmin-1.520
# ./setup.sh
See the language localization Webmin - Configure and launch or start
For the Unix System beginners
Copy the file webmin-1.520.tar.gz in repertory /usr/local/
Open a Terminal.
Seize cd /usr/local/ press Enter
Seize gunzip Web then press Tab key, you have just discovered completion.
You will have this gunzip webmin-1.520.tar.gz press Enter
Seize tar -xvf Web then press Tab key
You will have this tar -xvf webmin-1.520.tar press Enter
Seize Cd Web then press Tab key
You will have this Cd webmin-1.520 press Enter
Seize ./setup.sh press Enter
We have to answer several questions:
Config file directory [/etc/webmin]: press Enter
Log file directory [/var/webmin]: press Enter
Full path to perl (default /usr/bin/perl): press Enter
Web server port (default 10000): press Enter
The user name by defect is admin take root and type its password.
Login name (default admin): Seize user name and press Enter

Login password: Seize the password and press Enter
Password again: Seize the password and press Enter
Remark : For enter y the Package perl-Net-SSLeay must be installed for use Webmin with SSL encryption.
Use SSL (y/n): Seize n press Enter
Seize y for launch automatically Webmin to the starting up of the Server.
Start Webmin at boot time (y/n): Seize y press Enter
What you must to obtain in the window of the Terminal!

Webmin is a web-based interface that allows Unix-like operating
systems and common Unix services to be easily administered.

Webmin uses separate directories for configuration files and log files.
Unless you want to run multiple versions of Webmin at the same time
you can just accept the defaults.

Webmin uses its own password protected web server to provide access
to the administration programs. The setup script needs to know :
- What port to run the web server on. There must not be another
web server already using this port.
- The login name required to access the web server.
- The password required to access the web server.
- If the webserver should use SSL (if your system supports it).
- Whether to start webmin at boot time.
Web server port (default 10000):
Login name (default admin): root
Login password:
Password again:
Use SSL (y/n): n
Start Webmin at boot time (y/n): y
