Webmin

Web-based administration tool for Unix-like servers that configures system files and server applications such as Apache HTTP Server, BIND and MySQL.

Webmin is a web interface for administering Unix-like servers. It configures system internals and server applications, such as the Apache HTTP Server and BIND DNS Server. The documentation lists modules for the Apache and Nginx web servers, PHP and MySQL.

It runs as a server process on the machine it administers. The download page describes installing it from the project’s package repository with a setup script, from downloaded rpm or deb packages, or from a source tarball.

Worth knowing

Virtualmin, a hosting control panel from the same developers, is a Webmin module. The about page offers paid developer help.
