How To Install Webmin on CentOS

This tutorial will guide you through 3 easy steps to installing Webmin on CentOS. This has worked on CentOS 6.

Step 1:

-- PASTE BELOW THIS LINE --
cat > /etc/yum.repos.d/webmin.repo << EOF
[Webmin]
name=Webmin Distribution Neutral
#baseurl=http://download.webmin.com/download/yum
mirrorlist=http://download.webmin.com/download/yum/mirrorlist
enabled=1
EOF
-- END OF PASTE --


This adds the Webmin repos to your CentOS installation.

Step 2:

-- PASTE BELOW THIS LINE--
rpm --import http://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc
-- END OF PASTE --

This imports the Webmin GPG key into your CentOS key ring.

Step 3:

yum install webmin

This will install Webmin for you. Your Webmin installation is running on port 10000/tcp on your VPS server.

For example http://1.2.3.4:10000

Replace 1.2.3.4 with the IP address of your VPS.

  1. Am I doing this as root? Godaddy doesn't allow root access. Thanks.

    1. Consultation with Godaddy by access to root on your server, remember this is for Dedicated Server or VPS Server not for shared account.
