Quick Notes after Recent VPS Install and Installing Webmin
I just re-did my VPS that is located at Burstnet, the same cheap VPS I talked about before. This time around I ran into a couple of issues and decided to only use webmin instead of the full-out virtualmin.
Some quick install notes:
I needed to install mod_rewrite... I dont remember doing that before but I know I must have. Its easy as running this:
sudo a2enmod rewrite
I also needed to install the GD image library for PHP... just plain for about about that one:
apt-get install php5-gd
Installing Webmin instead of VirtualMin
This was crazy easy to do and wish I had been doing it instead of virtualmin all along. All you have to do is install a couple extra packages:
sudo apt-get install libauthen-pam-perl libio-pty-perl libmd5-perl libnet-ssleay-perl
And then download the latest webmin release. I did this by going to http://www.webmin.com/download.html, right clicking on the "Debian package suitable for Debian, Ubuntu or other derived Linux" link, copying the link location and then pasting it into my console like so:
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin_1.510_all.deb
That will download it to your server. Then I install it like so:
sudo dpkg -i webmin_1.510_all.deb
Then just go to your browser like you would w/ virtualmin and all you have is webmin... PERFECT!
