Webmin In A Virtual Host Via A Proxy
This method can also be used to make Webmin accessible via an Apache virtual host, like
http://webmin.yourdomain.com/.
The steps to follow are :
Make sure mod_proxy is installed on your Apache webserver.
Add a virtual host to your Apache configuration file like:
<VirtualHost _default_>
ServerName webmin.yourdomain.com
ProxyPass / http://localhost:10000/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:10000/
<Proxy *>
allow from all
</Proxy>
</VirtualHost>
In /etc/webmin/config, add the line referer=apachehost, where apachehost is the hostname from the URL used to access Webmin via Apache.
If the referer line already has some hosts listed, add apachehost to it.
Re-start Apache to apply the configuration.
No changes need to be made to /etc/webmin/config, because no prefix is appended to the URL path.
