This short HowTo details the steps needed to install ‘Webmin’ onto you Elastix PBX server.
You need to login as root onto the console (or via SSH).
First, make sure your system is up to date, by issuing the following command and following the instructions:
yum update
You may need to install some dependencies, issue the following and follow instructions. On my system it was already installed, so there was nothing to install:
yum -y install perl-Net-SSLeay
Next, move to a suitable location to download the RPM file into.
Next you need to visit the Webmin site and identify the latest RPM version number of Webmin, probably from the download page. You need to look for the URL, it will probably look something like:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.510-1.noarch.rpm
It is the bit in bold that will change and you need to make a note of the version, or better still copy the entire URL and add it to a wget command, like:
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.510-1.noarch.rpm
And the file should be downloaded to your current directory. The final task is to trigger the RPM install and follow any instructions:
rpm -i webmin-1.510-1.noarch.rpm
You can then access webmin via: https://[YourServer]:10000
Enjoy.
