Hello there,
Today, I will write some guide lines about how to install and use webmin to run some websites in your VPS.
Requirement:
+ A VPS with full root. + Centos or Debian OS. + Should have at least 521MB. Believe me, less than 512MB is NOT recommend !
****What is benefits ?****
+ No directadmin or Cpanel license fees.(saved $15 for cpanel and $8 for directadmin) + You configure yourself. + Minimal system configuration. We only install what we needs. Most lowendbox offer min resource, So we have to save resource for running websites.
Ok, let start...
In this guide lines, I will work on Centos only.
First, login as root to your VPS,
1. Update your system...
yum update -y
Wait some times while system being updated.
2. Then now, we will install the latest version of webmin:
You can get more download links by going here: http://www.webmin.com/download.html
Download webmin RPM:
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.700-1.noarch.rpm
Install RPM:
rpm -U webmin-1.700-1.noarch.rpm
Ok, after that, we have webmin run on 10000 port by defaults.
In some system, Iptables may block connection to 10000
Then you can flush iptables by running this:
iptables -F
Ok,
Now open firefox then type:
https://yourIP:10000
Login: root
Password: your root password
Ok,
Now you will see your VPS configuration, such as RAM, CPU, Disk,...
By default, Centos does not have anythings, you will have to install yourself,
You will need apache, mysql server to run a website in php/mysq.
First of all, we have to install apache web server.
In default webmin panel page,
Chose Un-used Modules
Chose Apache Web Service
=> Webmin will tell you that apache was not installed, click here to install
=> Click to install apache web server.
Waiting some minutes for it to completed.
Then, we will install mysql server.
In default webmin panel page,
Chose Un-used Modules
Chose Mysql Database Server
=> Webmin will tell you that mysql server was not installed,
=> Click to install mysql server.
Waiting for some minutes,
Install PHP:
Run this command:
yum install php php-*
System will install default php to your system.
Ok, Now we have apache & mysql with php.
In fact, we do not need named server such as bind or anythings.
Named server will need a lot of RAM & CPU, we may used free DNS service around the world such as cloudflare, or registrar free DNS(namecheap.com or name.com offer this for you)
We will start working now to run a website in our server.
1. Create Domain Home Directory
I will use: /home/domain.com/www
So please create directory: /home/domain.com/www
Run this command:
mkdir /home/domain.com mkdir /home/domain.com/www
Ok, now we have /home/domain.com/www
1. Create virtual hosts.
Webmin Panel Home > Servers > Apache Server
Chose Create Virtual Hosts
->
Use the following configuration:
Handle connections to address: any address
Port: 80
Document Root: /home/domain.com/www
Server Name: domain.com
Add virtual server to file: Standard httpd.conf
All others leave default.
-> Click Create Now
Ok, Now apache can handle your domain, running on /home/domain.com/www
You can upload your script/html/php to this directory.
If your script need mysql, follow these steps to create new database and user.
Webmin Panel Home > Servers > Mysql Database Server
Click: Create New Database
-> Input database name with your charset configuration,
To Create User:
Webmin Panel Home > Servers > Mysql Database Server
Chose Users Permissions
-> Add new user
-> Input
Username: chose username(DO not chose anonymous)
Password: chose password
Host: localhost
Permissions: Chose All. Or some such as select, drop, insert,... it depends on you or wha you needs.
Others leave default.
-> Create
Ok, Now you have mysql database with usesname/password run in localhost.
Everything is ready and minimal for running domain.com in your VPS.
You just need to upload your documents/script to domain.com directory.
The final: Point domain to your VPS, which is running your script/mysql database.
It depends on dns server which you are running.
but you have to create these records for domain running on your VPS.
This is simple knowledge about dns records,
https://help.github.com/articles/tips-for-configuring-an-a-record-with-your-dns-provider
You will have to create 2 A records.
domain.com. 73 IN A Your-VPS-IP
domain.com. 73 IN A Your-VPS-IP
Excample: kitdos.com. 73 IN A 123.123.123.123
When you completed this, you will have to wait for 6 hours for it to active and effect worldwide.
After 6 hours, go to brower such as firefox or chrome, type: http://domain.com
Then you will see your website here.
Thank you for reading,

sz1, is that you?
here's a guide to find out if it is
go on google
if you need any help just look on google
thanks
>
Honestly, I think thats what someone would do to find out how to do what the article explains.
sz1 posted similar articles before he was banned, thus why I asked.
Whatever.
Oh no no...
lol, I dont know sz1 is who ???
But this is my knowledge and I want to share this ?
Is there any bad things here ???
@kitdos_com no SSL on your site buddy?
yeah, his "tutorials" were pretty much just "look on google"
this one actually has steps to follow
@wych is this important ? It is not banking or payment system here.
I can easyly setup SSL,
Now I get you... yeah this one isn't duplicate content either and skips the BS about LET
Well its your own payment system... So I will leave it upto you.
Poor editor make my article harder to read,
Is there any one here can make better editor for this forum ???
Its not that bad, either write it as HTML or use markdown.
You really should update your formatting... The OP looks a crap.
**Sample Text**for bold---for a horizontal rule (line)for headers
for code
@kitdos_com Use HTML
Ok, Thank every one,
Everything seem fine now,
There are some known nasty bugs in 1.700. Update to beta (1.701) for fast fixing.
For me, the best information is in the part...
...because I haven't found much on how to actually define the Web site within Webmin (OK, I haven't really looked hard, but I never was able to successfully figure it out.) I can get Webmin installed and running with little effort, but defining the Web sites has eluded me.
Question: Hoe do you manage multiple sites with sub-domains?
For example, say I want to have several distinct Web sites on several domains:
main site: testsite.com
test site: sandbox.testsite.com
dev site: dev.testsite.com
etc.
Is this done the same way as defining the root site, just creating new directories and pointing to those?
Or would I use Virtialmin?
NO. I dont think you will need virtualmin !
In order to create subdomain, such as sub.domain.com
It is simple, you create directory: /home/domain.com/www/sub -> this is home directory of subdomain
Then create virtual host:
Important: Sevrer Name: sub.domain.com
Then it will works properly with your subdomain,
And remember create CNAME records( for subdomain ) on DNS settings and restart apache service
Thank you for the tutorial, working like a charm.
Is there anyway to host subdomain on a seperate dedicated IP ? I am doing DNS things through Cloudflare.
Want to enjoy my 7 IPv4 on XVMLabs VPS
