Rackspace Cloud Debian and Virtualmin

6 May 2011

This is the fastest way to get a Debian server running Virtualmin:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

Edit the hosts file and make sure the IP address and domain match:

nano /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1     localhost localhost.localdomain
XX.XX.XX.XX     newservername.co.uk newservername

Then get virtualmin:

wget http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/scripts/install.sh
chmod 755 install.sh
./install.sh

WAIT FOR AGES: now go to https://XX.XX.XX.XX:10000
