STEP 1:

You will need to visit http://www.webmin.com/download.html and copy the link for their latest RPM format Webmin download.

Download this link either to your computer and then upload it to your server, or by using wget, apt-get or similar depending on your linux operating system. For this example I will be using wget:

Enter the command, and then press enter:

wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.510-1.noarch.rpm

STEP 2:

Next we need to kick off the installation. You need to use the command:

rpm -ivh  webmin-1.510-1.noarch.rpm

Note: remember to change the file name depending on the file name of the version you are installing!

HELP! I’ve just received an error! – If you receive the error “/usr/bin/perl is needed by webmin-1.510-1.noarch” then you will need to install Perl – Check out STEP 2A further down this article to find out how!

STEP 3:

You can now login to Webmin by visiting http://youriphere:10000/ – You need to log in with your servers root login information (E.G. Username: root – Password: thisisaverysecurepassword).

And success! Webmin appears to be working correctly! :)

STEP 2A – Installing Perl:

Perl can be installed easily using yum if you have it installed on your server:

yum install perl

When it asks you if it’s OK to download the Perl packages, type “Y” and press enter:

And then go back to STEP 2.

Firstly, check that you have a fresh install of your chosen operating system (CentOS is recommended) and that SELinux is disabled (How do you disable SELinux? find out below).

Connect to your server through the root SSH login.

Edit the file at directory “/etc/selinux/config“, if you are using nano on your server, you can use the following command to open the file for editing through SSH:

  1. nano /etc/selinux/config

Replace:

  1. SELINUX=enabled

With:

  1. SELINUX=disabled

Save the file and continue by entering the following commands:

  1. cd /home
  2. wget http://layer1.cpanel.net/latest
  3. sh latest
  4. /usr/local/cpanel/cpkeyclt

Problems during installation?

A common problem which occurs near the beginning of the cPanel installation, is an incorrect hostname.

cPanel requires that your system is setup with a full hostname (e.g. server1.mydomain.com NOT JUST server1).

To fix this hostname problem, simply run the following command:

  1. hostname yourhostnamehere

    2. (Replace “yourhostnamehere” with your full required hostname as shown in the example above)

Once setup has successfully completed you can access your WHM at http://yourip:2087/.
