Want to install latest version you can download from webmin site download section http://www.webmin.com/download.html
Prerequisites
sudo apt-get install perl5 libnet-ssleay-perl
Now you need to download the latest webmin from the above downloadlink
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.310.tar.gz
cd /usr/local/src
sudo tar xzvf webmin-1.310.tar.gz
cd webmin-1.310
sudo sh setup.sh
This will start the installation and now it will prompt for several questions answer them as follows
Config file directory [/etc/webmin]: Leave as default, or change as you wish
Log file directory [/var/webmin]: Leave as default, or change as you wish
Full path to perl (default /usr/bin/perl): Leave as default, or change as you wish
Operating system:
Enter ‘6′
Version:
Enter ‘6′
Web server port (default 10000):
This is where you can start to make webmin more secure then the standard install you get with apt-get, Synaptic, or RPM. Leave as default or change it to what ever port you want.
Login name (default admin):
It is ‘admin’, so you can leave it as that, or put in any name that you like.
Login password:
By creating the user above and giving it a password, you have now made it so you will not need to log into webmin with root.
Password again:
enter your password again
If you did not install ‘libnet-ssleay-perl’ you will get the following message:
‘The Perl SSLeay library is not installed. SSL not available.’ You can continue with the install, but it would be more secure if you install sslrelay.
Use SSL (y/n):y
Choose yes here
Start Webmin at boot time (y/n):y
select here y
At this point it is going to configure things, install things, and create things…
It will then tell you that you can log in to https://hostipaddress:10000 and to accept the certificate.
Webmin User Password Change
If you want to change root password in webmin use this included Perl script:
sudo /usr/share/webmin/changepass.pl /etc/webmin root
If you want to install any standard modules you can download from here
If you want to install third party modules you can download from here
