sudo aptitude -y install perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl libmd5-perl apt-show-versions libapt-pkg-perl

wget http://ftp.debian.org/pool/main/libm/libmd5-perl/libmd5-perl_2.03-1_all.deb

OR (if not working) sudo dpkg -i download

sudo /usr/share/webmin/changepass.pl /etc/webmin root PASSWORD
sudo /etc/init.d/webmin start

LOGIN WEBMIN

IMPORTANT UPDATE WEBMIN BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE**********************
WEBMIN CONFIGURATION

install virtualmin (install via webmin modules install from computer)
save on desktop:
http://download.webmin.com/download/virtualmin/virtual-server-3.83.gpl.wbm.gz
http://download.webmin.com/download/virtualmin/virtual-server-theme-7.9.wbt.gz

Configure Postfix:
sudo vi /etc/postfix/main.cf
and add:
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual
sudo /etc/init.d/postfix reload


sudo vi /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
uncomment #prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;
Webmin->networking->Hostname and DNS Client
Swap Resolution order as 127.0.0.1 should be first


sudo vi /etc/hosts
replace 127.0.0.1 localhost
by
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
ip domain.com domain

sudo vi /etc/hostname
domain.com

APACHE MOD SUEXE OFF
Virtualmin (Server Templates:Apache Website:Automatically add appropriate SuExec directive? set it to "No")
CLICK "CUSTOM" & no

check ftpdpro server module is on



**Good to have a look to
Webmin->Apache Webserver->Global-configuration->configure Apache modules


*************************************
if error "pma_tracking" in phpmyadmin
*************************************
editing /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php and added
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['tracking'] = 'pma_tracking';
to the $cfg['Servers'][$i] section


*********************
CURL
******************
sudo apt-get install curl libcurl3 libcurl3-dev php5-curl php5-mcrypt
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart



When you set up a website/domain you need to do as following:
Virtualmin->Create virtual server

Now the server is almost ready.
Virtualmin->Services->DNS Domain
create two A records
Click on Address
Name: ns1.yourdomain.com
Address: Your Elastic IP

Name: ns2.yourdomain.com
Address: Your Elastic IP / or you can register to a service like www.dyndns.com www.opendns.com

Back on Edit Master Zone->Click on Name server
(you can edit the existing one)
Name: your domain.com
Name server: ns1.yourdomain.com

Name: your domain.com
Name server: ns2.yourdomain.com /or something else.

Last thing: create an image when it works ;-)
