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!

I was wanting to watch the mig5's video you talk about but I can not find it. Has it been deleted?

Yeah it looks like its gone... sorry about that. You'll probably need to talk to mig5 abou that.

Using the BurstNet control panel to install webmin? I think they have a one-click installer for it. I haven't tried it yet, but I might, and will report back.
