Installing Webmin On Ubuntu 8.10
Installing most things on a debian based system is as easy as typing Apt-get. Webmin is not that way, almost it is not much more difficult.
First thing we need to do is prepare the system to install webmin. For that we need to install some dependencies.
sudo apt-get install perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl libmd5-perl
Next we will download the Webmin debian package. The newest version is 1.490
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin_1.490_all.deb
Nest step is to install the package using dpkg:
sudo dpkg -i webmin_1.490_all.deb
If you get complaints about something missing simply input the command:
sudo apt- get install -f
Now you should be able to get to your server via any browser at
