I find webmin to be very useful on the Linux OS. This makes my life easier, especially if you have very little linux experience. Here is how to install it manually: Use Putty to SSH to your vm Logon as root/root and run these commands: Notes: a. The path where wget resides may be different in your server. b. Download the latest version of webmin. cd /root /usr/sfw/bin/wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.480.tar.gz gunzip webmin-1.480.tar.gz tar xf webmin-1.480.tar cd webmin-1.480 sudo ./setup.sh /usr/local/webmin A setup program runs now.
