Problem
Install Webmin to manage your CentOS server through a web interface.
tl;dr
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.710-1.noarch.rpm
rpm -U webmin-1.710-1.noarch.rpm
Solution
Webmin, or Web Admin, is a web-based UNIX remote management tool, similar to cPanel. It is completely free and open source. You need to download it from its site before you can install it, as it is usually unavailable in repositories.
Download the Webmin package
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.710-1.noarch.rpm
This downloads Webmin 1.710. If a new version comes out since this guide was written, or you wish to install an older version, substitute 1.710 for a different version number, such as: /webmin-1.560-1.noarch.rpm
You may have to check the current version number on the Webmin site, as they come out frequently.
Run the installer
rpm -U webmin-1.710-1.noarch.rpm
Replace 1.710 with your version number.
Access the interface
Your server will be accessible at http://[your IP]:10000 through any web browser
If you cannot access the interface
You may need to open port 10000 in your IPTables firewall:
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 10000 -j ACCEPT
service iptables save
