Once your new server is provisioned , install Perl in it which stands as the base for all further installations. You can use the following command to install Perl :

# yum install perl -y

When this is complete, download the script to install Virtualmin :

# wget http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/scripts/install.sh

Run the above script :

# sh install.sh

Once the installation is complete, you will be able to login to the Virtualmin control panel using the address :

https://your-IP:10000

The username would be ‘root’ and the password would be your root password for the server.

As soon as you login, complete the Post-Installation Wizard, by specifying your requirements.

You will be asked to enter the name-server configuration too.

Enter the ns1/ns2 of the domain you intend to make as the name-server. If the domain is not yet registered, you would have to check the button to skip resolvability check.

Once the post-installation wizrd is complete with, you might observe this error –

Virtualmin’s configuration has not been checked since it was last updated. Click the button below to verify it now.

re-configure

Click the button listed there to find if there are any errors.

Once you run the re-check, do you face this error ?

The mailman queue processor /usr/lib/mailman/bin/qrunner is not running on your system. It can be started in the Bootup and Shutdown module.

To fix this, navigate to : Webmin > Servers > Virtualmin Mailman Mailing Lists

You will see: Warning – Mailman will not operate properly unless a list named mailman has been created. Use the form below to create it now.

mail-man-error

Add any email id and a password to configure it.  Or if you do not intend to use mailman , you can disable it which would fix the original issue.

— System Settings -> Features and Plugins,  – you can disable the Mailman feature.

Once this is complete, re-run the check and you can confirm that your Virtualmin is about to be used.

Create a new domain, here you refer a new domain as a new virtual server.

You can find this from Virtualmin. Find the image given below :

jo2

Specify the domain name, the administration password. You can also configure the IP on which your domain should reside on, by selecting the option from ‘Network interface ‘ > IP address and forwarding.

Once the domain is created, you can edit the DNS records from Virtualmin.

jo1

If this is the domain which you intend to be the name-server, add the respective NS records and the A records for the NS records.

Update this values at your registrar end to make sure the DNS records are synced-in.

– You can carry on adding new domains ( new virtual server ).  Ensure that proper DNS records are added.

This is all about the installation/configuration of Virtualmin
