Webmin is a web-based interface for system administration for Unix. Using any browser that supports tables and forms (and Java for the File Manager module), you can setup user accounts, Apache, DNS, file sharing and so on.
Webmin consists of a simple web server, and a number of CGI programs which directly update system files like /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/passwd. The web server and all CGI programs are written in Perl version 5, and use no non-standard Perl modules.
Preparing Your System
You need to install the following packages
sudo apt-get install perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl libmd5-perl
Install Webmin in Ubuntu
You can use the above procedure but if you want to install latest version of .deb package you can download from webmin site under Download Section
Download latest webmin using the following command
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin_1.340_all.deb
Now we have webmin_1.340_all.deb package you need to install using the following command
sudo dpkg -i webmin_1.340_all.deb
If your server complains that there is some library things does not find. Just run the following command
sudo apt- get install -f
You should now be able to login to Webmin at the URL https://localhost:10000/
Webmin User Password Change
If you want to change root password in webmin use this included Perl script:
sudo /usr/share/webmin/changepass.pl /etc/webmin root

thanks, and if you are typing into a terminal check your spelling of /webadmin/
Thanks, it's so awesome when things just work!
Also, you need to update this post to reflect that latest download version is now 1.350.
simple straigt, was a great help, can't understand they don't put these two lines in their documentation.
I agree with topstar - the webmin documentation on installtion seems to be non-existent and you have filled the gap. Cheers
Great thanks except when I needed to install perl the command:
sudo apt- get install -f
did not work UNTIL I removed the gap between 'apt- get'. Then it worked:
sudo apt-get install -f
But big thanks. Shane
New version of webmin released, try these instead.
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin_1.430_all.deb
and remember to also then to also change the name of the package to install to..
sudo dpkg -i webmin_1.430_all.deb
Nice and easy tutorial
Thx for the tutorial but seems I have a problem to see the cache manager statistic.
Does anyone know why I can't find cachemgr.cgi for squid? I only be able to find cachemgr.cgi for the webmin.
Thanks

An easy way to install the latest Webmin version in 2 steps is:
"Install Webmin in Ubuntu
You can use the above procedure but if you want to install latest version of .deb package you can download from webmin site under Download Section"
Clink on the link (included) to download the latest Webmin version.
http://www.webmin.com/download.html
Then in the file manager, right click on the downloaded webmin deb file and there should be a command on the popup menu to install the selected package.
This method worked like a charm for me!
Small typo.
"sudo apt- get install -f"
"sudo apt-get install -f"
Thanks for the article!
