Webmin installation problems

I’m just in the middle of setting up a new server for testing and thought I would go with Webmin to act as the manager just to make things nice and simple.

Following the guide here as I have done multiple times in the past I came up with an error.

[root@ftp ~]# rpm --import http://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc
error: http://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc: import read failed(0).

I have to admit not having seen this before but did find a work around I thought I would share.

  1. Open up http://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc in your browser and copy  the output
  2. Login to your server and go to a temp location for me it was /tmp
  3. Create a new file (I use nano, but use whatever you normally do, pico, vi etc)
    $ nano public.gpg.key

    and then paste in the key you copied form the browser. Save the file and exit.

  4. From the CLI then enter
    $ rpm --import public.gpg.key
  5. Voila GPG key installed and you can now use yum to install webmin!
