Download and install ioncube

wget http://downloads2.ioncube.com/loader_downloads/ioncube_loaders_lin_x86.tar.gz

tar xvfz ioncube_loaders_lin_x86.tar.gz

cd ioncube

mkdir /usr/local/ioncube

cp /root/ioncube/* /usr/local/ioncube/

nano /etc/php.ini

• zend_extension = /usr/local/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.3.so

/etc/init.d/httpd restart

wget "http://mywiseguys.com/files/sef_advance_tester.php"

Download and install Webmin

wget "http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.550-1.noarch.rpm"

Note: If you are being blocked by corporate firewall

# wget "http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.550-1.noarch.rpm"

--2011-06-02 07:35:43-- http://prdownloads.s...50-1.noarch.rpm

Connecting to 10.9.0.16:80... connected.

Proxy request sent, awaiting response... 403 Forbidden

2011-06-02 07:35:43 ERROR 403: Forbidden.

I have the file located here

wget "http://mywiseguys.com/files/webmin/webmin-1.550-1.noarch.rpm"

rpm -ivh webmin-1.550-1.noarch.rpm

Note: If you decided to download the .tar.gz file then here is what to do

gunzip webmin-1.550.tar.gz

tar xf webmin-1.550.tar

cd webmin-1.550

./setup.sh /usr/local/webmin

After installation you should be able to browse to http://serverip:10000 (or whatever port you set)

If you are unable to reach the server check some common issues:

1. Verify webmin is started (just run /etc/init.d/webmin start)

2. Check to make sure that port is open

lsmod | grep ip_tables 

iptables -L -n

If iptables (firewall) isn't running, run the following command

system-config-securitylevel

Add port 10000 to iptables so you can access the webmin page

nano /etc/sysconfig/iptables

-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 10000 -j ACCEPT

Restart firewall

service iptables restart

Verify port is open

iptables -L -n
