In this post, i will share on how to install the Webmin, a web-based interface for system administration for Linux, on CentOS 5.7 server. Different from my previous post on “How to Install Webmin 1.570-1 on CentOS 6.2 using RPM<\/a>“, this post will show you the steps on installing the webmin from the tar.gz file.<\/p>\n

Download the tar.gz file.<\/p>\n

\n[root@CentOS57 ~]# cd \/tmp\n[root@CentOS57 tmp]# wget http:\/\/prdownloads.sourceforge.net\/webadmin\/webmin-1.570.tar.gz\n--2012-01-21 08:22:30--  http:\/\/prdownloads.sourceforge.net\/webadmin\/webmin-1.570.tar.gz\nResolving prdownloads.sourceforge.net... 216.34.181.59\nConnecting to prdownloads.sourceforge.net|216.34.181.59|:80... connected.\nHTTP request sent, awaiting response... 301 Moved Permanently\nLocation: http:\/\/downloads.sourceforge.net\/project\/webadmin\/webmin\/1.570\/webmin-1.570.tar.gz [following]\n--2012-01-21 08:22:31--  http:\/\/downloads.sourceforge.net\/project\/webadmin\/webmin\/1.570\/webmin-1.570.tar.gz\nResolving downloads.sourceforge.net... 216.34.181.59\nReusing existing connection to prdownloads.sourceforge.net:80.\nHTTP request sent, awaiting response... 302 Found\nLocation: http:\/\/cdnetworks-kr-1.dl.sourceforge.net\/project\/webadmin\/webmin\/1.570\/webmin-1.570.tar.gz [following]\n--2012-01-21 08:22:31--  http:\/\/cdnetworks-kr-1.dl.sourceforge.net\/project\/webadmin\/webmin\/1.570\/webmin-1.570.tar.gz\nResolving cdnetworks-kr-1.dl.sourceforge.net... 211.39.135.162\nConnecting to cdnetworks-kr-1.dl.sourceforge.net|211.39.135.162|:80... connected.\nHTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK\nLength: 15200156 (14M) [application\/x-gzip]\nSaving to: `webmin-1.570.tar.gz'\n\n100%[==========================================================>] 15,200,156  81.3K\/s   in 3m 10s\n\n2012-01-21 08:25:42 (78.2 KB\/s) - `webmin-1.570.tar.gz' saved [15200156\/15200156]\n<\/pre>\n
Extract the file.<\/p>\n
\n[root@CentOS57 tmp]# tar xzvf webmin-1.570.tar.gz\n[root@CentOS57 tmp]# cd webmin-1.570\n<\/pre>\n
When the setup.sh script is run, it will ask the following questions :<\/p>\n
    The Webmin configuration directory<\/strong>
\n    -The directory in which all Webmin configuration information is stored. This is now separate from the Webmin install directory, so that configurations are saved when you upgrade.
\n    If you have previously installed Webmin and use the same config directory, this will be the only question asked.<\/p>\n
    The Webmin log directory<\/strong>
\n    -The location for pid and webserver log files.<\/p>\n
    The full path to perl on your system<\/strong>
\n    -This is usually \/usr\/bin\/perl or \/usr\/local\/bin\/perl<\/p>\n
    Your Operating system type<\/strong>
\n    -In Webmin versions 0.990 and above, this question is only asked if your operating system cannot be automatically determined.
\n    The setup script will display a list of supported systems. If your OS is not on the list, you can try choosing the closest match. However this may not work properly, and may even cause serious problems!<\/p>\n
    Web server port<\/strong>
\n    -The TCP port that the Webmin web server will listen on.<\/p>\n
    Web server login and password<\/strong>
\n    -The login name and password used to acess the Webmin web server.<\/p>\n
    Web server hostname<\/strong>
\n    -The hostname of the machine on which Webmin will run.<\/p>\n
    Use SSL<\/strong>
\n    -This question will only be asked if your system has the Perl SSL libraries installed. See below for more..<\/p>\n
    Start Webmin at boot time<\/strong>
\n    -If your OS is supported, Webmin will ask if you want to have it automatically started at boot time.<\/p>\n
