Any instructions on how to install Webmin in ClearOS 5.2?

Thanks

Found it.

Installation for redhat-based systems

Log on to a terminal session on your web server with a root account.

1.
2.
3.
4.


Then on your workstation browse to

upgrade webmin, install update packages, done

If you get an error importing the key "error: http ://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc: import read failed(0)."

Do this.....



I have to admit not having seen this before but did find a work a round I thought I would share.
1.Open up www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc in your browser an d copy and paste the output
2.Login to your serv er and go to a temp location for me it was /tmp
3.Create a new file and then paste in the key you copied form the browser. Save the file and exit.
4.From the CLI then enter
5.Voila GPG key installed and you can now use yum to install webmin !

..... just don't use it to meddle with the flexshares/samba.

Thanks.

I'd suggest anyone installing Webmin would be best advised to obtain the installer/package directly from the source:

Here

and not a 3rd party site.

If you do decide to use a 3rd party site, you would be wise to do a md5sum verification before installing it onto your system.

Failure to do this opens you up to the potential for trojaned installers/packages.

I went to this page webmin.com/download.html

and got the download link....

then

rpm -U webmin-1.550-1.noarch.rpm

It took 2 minutes to get it installed.

this screen shot my problem

im use winscp for edit


and this in putty

PROBLEM SOLVED THX

None of this is working for me.
This used to be a simple 3 minute task getting this installed.
It wont let me install it or the key.

On another note I got 3 updates 2 days ago and whatever was in that crap completely hosed my machine.... so bad I could look at anything to determine where the problem was. I had to wipe the whole machine.
Not a big deal as I had to swap out the machine and drives anyhow for the bigger, better and faster.

Ive been with CC since the beginning without a hint of a problem. Ever since it went COS Ive had nothing BUT problems

I finally got it

Copy the link location from the webmin site for the centos rpm add wget to the front of the download and then install

rpm -U webmin-1.550-1.noarch.rpm

Looks like they moved the file location at sourceforge and it looks for it and brings it in with no key
