Before we start I wanted to state that if you have removed perl from your MacOSX installation that
HowTo will not work for you. Webmin is a Web interface for a lot of the Unix Command line utilites
like Sendmail, BIND 8, and lots of other things. The install isn't very hard if you follow the steps
below here. If you have any questions or problems please post asking here.
Step 1) Download webmin to your desktop http://www.webmin.com/webmin/download/webmin-0.91.tar.gz
Step 2) Start the terminal application and type: cd /users/yourusername/desktop
Step 3) Type sudo mv webmin-0.91.tar.gz /url/local and type your administrator password when prompted
Step 4) Type gunzip webmin-0.91.tar.gz
Step 5) Type tar -xvf webmin-0.91.tar
Step 6) cd webmin-0.91
Step 7) Type sudo ./setup.sh
Step 8) While running this setup it will ask a number of questions, you can leave most at the default
state but on the one that ask about your operating system Make sure you type the number for
MacOSX/MacOSXserver which is 42 I believe (I did the setup a while back) after that it will ask for a
version of the OS, type 1 for 10.0 and type 2 for 10.1 or above. The rest of the questions are pretty
self explanitory.
Step 9) Open up your browser and type in http://localhost:10000/ (if you changed the default port be
sure to type it instead of 10000)
I am very sure that most of you here will benefit from this HowTo: Have fun with it
