How to install Webmin on Ubuntu 7 or 8 by using Ubuntu (.deb) Packages

Pre-installation Requirements:

Update your /etc/apt/sources.list file to include universe:

Old Config:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy main
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security main

New Config (with universe):

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy main
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security main
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy universe
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security universe

apt-get update

apt-get install wget perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perl libio-pty-perl libmd5-perl

Download the latest version of Webmin from the Webmin website: http://www.webmin.com/download.html

For Ubuntu or other similar variants of Linux, use the .deb package.  The latest one at time of writing is: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin_1.430_all.deb

Install (running as root):

dpkg -i webmin_1.430_all.deb
