After the Window opens, type root for “Login As” and hit Enter key. Type the password in password field.

 

Type :

 

Vim
1
nano /etc/selinux/config

 

Nano is text Editor.  Check whether SELINUX is Disabled. Quit by pressing CTRL and E keys. Run :

 

Vim
1
setenforce 0

 

It will show that setenforce: SELinux is disabled :

 

SElinux

 

Type and Hit Enter yum update to update the system :

 

yum update

 

Twice or Thrice you will prompted to accept like above. We will install virtualmin now. wget it :

 

 

Vim

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

username : root

After logging you will get the Post-Installation Wizard  :

MySQL Server setting and Name Server Settings are important, others need not to be considered to be set to Yes. 512 MB RAM is usually enough for MySQL.
