Try this instead:

wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/webadmin/files/webmin/1.530/webmin_1.530_all.deb

sudo dpkg -i webmin_1.530_all.deb

I ran this on Ubuntu Server 10.10 fresh install

Like Eric P says, I had to change just one command:

sudo tar xzvf webmin-1.310.tar.gz

sudo tar xzvf $HOME/webmin-1.310.tar.gz

I downloaded it to a different location as well - my $HOME folder.

After that, everything worked perfectly.

Thanks for helping me get Webmin installed on Ubuntu Server 10.10

Now, all I have to do is to upgrade it!

Dude, you rock!

Couple of changes that I needed to make:

download/use latest version 1.510
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.510.tar.gz

This didn’t work:
cd /usr/local/src
sudo tar xzvf webmin-1.510.tar.gz

File was downloaded to a diff location:
find / -name webmin-1.510.tar.gz
Result: /home/ubuntu/webmin-1.510.tar.gz

Revised to the following:
cd /home/ubuntu
sudo tar xzvf webmin-1.510.tar.gz
cd webmin-1.510
sudo sh setup.sh

WORKED !!!

Followed the balance of the instructions.

I honestly didn’t think installing Webmin could be that easy.

It’s better practice to not put this in the sources.list file; rather, put it in it’s own file under the sources.list.d directory. I have a file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/webmin.list on my server, containing the following:

# Webmin packages
deb http://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge contrib

This means that when I want to do a distribution upgrade, I’m not having to do bespoke rules to keep webmin at sarge.

You can also (more elegantly ) install the key in this manner:

wget -q http://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc -O - | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update

If you like to install and update Webmin via APT, edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file on your system and add the line :

deb http://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge contrib

You should also fetch and install this GPG key with which the repository is signed, with the commands :

cd /root
wget http://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc
apt-key add jcameron-key.asc

You will now be able to install with the commands :

apt-get update
apt-get install webmin

All dependencies should be resolved automatically.

There’s a APT source available:

## Webmin repository deb http://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge contrib

It says “Sarge”, but just add this line in and you can do it completely via apt-get. Works like a charm on Hardy.

Webmin now provides packages for numerous distributions. http://www.webmin.com/download.html

Specifically for ubuntu, the deb package is available.

Perhaps updating this howto would be beneficial?
