Installing webmin on Ubuntu server edition (edgy)

I put together this info from several different sources:

First, edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file:

mscalora@linux:~$ sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list

Please uncomment these two lines by removing the # sign:

# deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy universe

# deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy universe

so that they read:

deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy universe

deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy universe

Then run this to update apt's cache:

mscalora@linux:~$ sudo apt-get update

Then get some webmin dependencies with:

mscalora@linux:~$ sudo apt-get install libnet-ssleay-perl libauthen-pam-perl libio-pty-perl libmd5-perl

Then download webmin with:

mscalora@linux:~$ wget http://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/webadmin/webmin_1.340_all.deb

of course you will want to update the version number part to the latest stable version. See http://webmin.com/ for version info.

Then install webmin with:

mscalora@linux:~$ sudo dpkg --install webmin_1.340_all.deb

You can now connect to this machine on port 10000 using ssl/https to run webmin ( https://linux:10000).
