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 service bitnami start mysql >/dev/null 2>&1
  stop_cmd=sudo service bitnami 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
  

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

  start_cmd=sudo service bitnami start apache >/dev/null 2>&1
  stop_cmd=sudo service bitnami stop apache >/dev/null 2>&1
  httpd_dir=/opt/bitnami/apache2
  httpd_conf=/opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/httpd.conf
  apachectl_path=/opt/bitnami/apache2/bin/apachectl
  apply_cmd=/opt/bitnami/apache2/bin/apachectl graceful
  defines_file=/opt/bitnami/apache2/bin/envvars
  link_dir=/opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/sites-enabled
  mime_types=/opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/mime.types
  access_conf=/opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/access.conf
  virt_file=/opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/sites-available
  srm_conf=/opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/srm.conf
  httpd_path=/opt/bitnami/apache2/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 service bitnami start postgresql >/dev/null 2>&1
  stop_cmd=sudo service bitnami 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.
