Virtualmin is a hosting control panel for managing virtual hosting. It is built upon Webmin and can be install as a Webmin module.

[edit] Installing Virtualmin

• Go to Webmin > Webmin Configuration > Webmin Modules
• Find the latest Virtualmin from http://www.webmin.com/vdownload.html
• Select From ftp or http URL and paste URL from above.

[edit] Configuring Virtualmin

Virtualmin requires some configuration before it is able to function.

• Go to Servers > Virtualmin Virtual Servers (GPL)
• Click on Module Config
• Select appropriate configuration for your need

There are some changes I made from the default

Webalizer report generation enabled? No  (I prefer to use AWstats)
SSL website setup enabled? Yes, but not by default
Webmin login enabled by default? No  (I don't require this for most case)
Network interface for virtual addresses venet0:0 (Find out with ifconfig)
Allow editing of options from template when creating server? Yes
Shell for server Unix users /bin/bash
Allow creation of forwarding-only websites? Yes using proxying
Setup Webalizer Cron job for each virtual server? No

• Click Re-check and refresh configuration

Some package (such as MySQL, mod_ssl) may need to be installed before enabling Virtualmin

[edit] Installing additional modules

Virtualmin has a number of modules that make managing hosting easy. A list of modules can be found on the Virtualmin plugin page.

Use Webmin Configuration > Webmin Modules to install plugin.

• Virtualmin SubVersion Repositories
