Configure Webmin

NOTE: The steps below are only valid for Linux hosts.

To configure Webmin to manage the Bitnami servers:

• Create the configuration file /etc/webmin/mysql/config for MySQL and fill it with the content below:

    start_cmd=sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh start mysql >/dev/null 2>&1
    stop_cmd=sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh stop mysql >/dev/null 2>&1
    mysql=/opt/bitnami/mysql/bin/mysql
    mysqladmin=/opt/bitnami/mysql/bin/mysqladmin
    mysqldump=/opt/bitnami/mysql/bin/mysqldump
    mysqlimport=/opt/bitnami/mysql/bin/mysqlimport
    my_cnf=/opt/bitnami/mysql/my.cnf
    mysqlshow=/opt/bitnami/mysql/bin/mysqlshow
    mysql_libs=/opt/bitnami/mysql/lib
    mysql_data=/opt/bitnami/mysql/data
    access=*: *
    style=0
    date_subs=0
    max_text=1000
    perpage=25
    nodbi=0
    max_dbs=50
    nopwd=0
    add_mode=1
    passwd_mode=0
    blob_mode=0
  

  For MariaDB, use the configuration below instead:

    start_cmd=sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh start mariadb >/dev/null 2>&1
    stop_cmd=sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh stop mariadb >/dev/null 2>&1
    mysql=/opt/bitnami/mariadb/bin/mysql
    mysqladmin=/opt/bitnami/mariadb/bin/mysqladmin
    mysqldump=/opt/bitnami/mariadb/bin/mysqldump
    mysqlimport=/opt/bitnami/mariadb/bin/mysqlimport
    my_cnf=/opt/bitnami/mariadb/conf/my.cnf
    mysqlshow=/opt/bitnami/mariadb/bin/mysqlshow
    mysql_libs=/opt/bitnami/mariadb/lib
    mysql_data=/opt/bitnami/mariadb/data
    access=*: *
    style=0
    date_subs=0
    max_text=1000
    perpage=25
    nodbi=0
    max_dbs=50
    nopwd=0
    add_mode=1
    passwd_mode=0
    blob_mode=0
    pass=PASSWORD_TO_ACCESS_MARIADB
    login=root
  

• Similarly, create the configuration file /etc/webmin/apache/config for Apache and fill it with the content below:

    start_cmd=sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh start apache >/dev/null 2>&1
    stop_cmd=sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh stop apache >/dev/null 2>&1
    httpd_dir=/opt/bitnami/apache
    httpd_conf=/opt/bitnami/apache/conf/httpd.conf
    apachectl_path=/opt/bitnami/apache/bin/apachectl
    apply_cmd=/opt/bitnami/apache/bin/apachectl graceful
    defines_file=/opt/bitnami/apache/bin/envvars
    link_dir=/opt/bitnami/apache/conf/vhosts
    mime_types=/opt/bitnami/apache/conf/mime.types
    access_conf=/opt/bitnami/apache/conf/access.conf
    virt_file=/opt/bitnami/apache/conf/vhosts
    srm_conf=/opt/bitnami/apache/conf/srm.conf
    httpd_path=/opt/bitnami/apache/bin/httpd
    test_manual=0
    show_list=0
    auto_mods=1
    test_apachectl=1
    max_servers=100
    show_order=0
    test_always=0
    show_names=0
    test_config=1
  

• Similarly, create the configuration file /etc/webmin/postgresql/config for PostgreSQL (if you have it installed) and fill it with the content below:

    start_cmd=sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh start postgresql >/dev/null 2>&1
    stop_cmd=sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh stop postgresql >/dev/null 2>&1
    psql=/opt/bitnami/postgresql/bin/psql
    dump_cmd=/opt/bitnami/postgresql/bin/pg_dump
    rstr_cmd=/opt/bitnami/postgresql/bin/pg_restore
    pid_file=/opt/bitnami/postgresql/data/postmaster.pid
    hba_conf=/opt/bitnami/postgresql/data/pg_hba.conf
    simple_sched=0
    sameunix=1
    date_subs=0
    max_text=1000
    perpage=25
    plib=
    nodbi=1
    max_dbs=50
    pass=
    access=*: *
    webmin_subs=0
    style=0
    access_own=0
    basedb=template1
    login=postgres
    add_mode=1
    blob_mode=0
  

• Browse to the Webmin application, log in and click the “Refresh Modules” button. You should now see the “Apache Webserver”, “PostgreSQL Database Server” and “MySQL Database Server” listed in the “Servers” tab.
