wrapmin is a wrapper that makes it possible to access Webmin from a directory on a site on an another Web server.

wrapmin is very useful if you are behind a firewall that only allows access to port 80.

Requirements:
You need Apache installed with PHP, and of course Webmin properly installed.

Installation:

Unzip the files on some directory inside your site

ex www.yoursite.com/webmin

Open the config.php and change the values if necessary for Webmin server and port.
The default values is "localhost" and port "10000" wich is the default installation values for Webmin.

Change the user and password values with webmin user you wont to use

Go to Webmin Configuration -> Authentication

(http://localhost:10000/webmin/edit_session.cgi)

and select "Disable session authentication"

Go to Webmin Configuration -> Anonymous Module Access

(http://localhost:10000/webmin/edit_anon.cgi)

and allow anonymous access to certain modules and paths, for work with Wrapmin.

With http://localhost:10000/webmin/edit_access.cgi set "Only allow from listed addresses" to localhost

!!WARNING!!

Protect the Wrapmin directory with .htaccess
