This is a recent 2015 guide to install Webmin:

Hello,
(I am a total Linux newbie)

I could not cd ~/Desktop/ <-- get message /home/pi/desktop directory does not exist.

Instead, I said : cd /tmp , and I was able to download the webmin...deb there ok.

but I don't see the web page when I https://192.168.1.9:10000/ --- any suggestions ? Do I need to install the desktop folder somehow?

Thanks,Peter

You need to use your IP Address not the one listed in the link I posted, as clearly stated ;)

When this is complete, you should be able to access Webmin using the IP address of your raspberry pi.

Yes, am using the static ip address of the PI, and it works with SSH ok.

here is my /etc/network/interfaces file :

auto eth0
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.9
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1

Static IP addresses are NOT defined in /etc/network/interfaces now. They're defined in /etc/dhcpcd.conf

Add this stuff at the bottom

Code: Select all

interface eth0
static ip_address=192.168.1.9/24
static routers=192.168.1.1
static domain_name_servers=192.168.1.1 8.8.8.8
