Configuration Files in Webmin

Configuration Files in Webmin

Most Webmin modules work by editing configuration files on your system, like

/etc/exports for NFS shares,
/etc/passwd for users
/etc/fstab for filesystems.

Each module knows which configuration files it manages, and what commands need to be run to activate them. Not all modules actually deal with config files though - for example, the MySQL module works by executing SQL commands.

As such, it cannot participate in the configuration backup process.

Configuring Your Firewall For Webmin

The simplest way to open up port 10000 is to use one of the Webmin firewall management modules, such as Linux Firewall, BSD Firewall or IPFilter Firewall. However, to access this you’ll need to run a brower on the same system as Webmin, and access it via the URL http://localhost:10000/.

The alternative is to login as root via SSH, and manually edit the firewall configuration file. On Redhat and derived systems, this is /etc/sysconfig/iptables, while on Debian it is /var/lib/iptables. The line you need to add is :

-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp –dport 10000 -j ACCEPT

Once this line has been added, you will need to apply the firewall configuration. This is typically done with the command

/etc/init.d/iptables restart
