Webmin is a web-based interface for system administration for Unix. Using any browser that support tables and forms (and Java for the File Manager module), you can setup user accounts, Apache, DNS, Squid, file sharing and so on.
Webmin consists of a simple web server, and a number of CGI programs which directly update system files like /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/passwd. The web server and all CGI programs are written in Perl version 5, and use no non-standard Perl modules.
Preparing Your System
You need to install the following packages
sudo apt-get install perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl libmd5-perl
Install Webmin in Ubuntu
You can use the above procedure but if you want to install latest version of .deb package you can download from webmin site under Download Section
Download latest webmin using the following command
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin_1.500_all.deb

sudo dpkg -i *.deb
If your server complains that there is some library things does not find. Just run the following command
sudo apt- get install -f
