Configuring the Non Asterisk Stuff
Webmin's job is to provide a graphic user interface (GUI) that configures all of the text based configuration files and there's a lot of them. Here's a quick rundown of its capabilities:
This is Webmin's main menu screen. It shows the current status of the server and resources used. In the following links, you'll see the powerful tool that Webmin is. Each list item shows the pull-down menus that are available.
- Webmin Module
This is the area where you would configure Webmin itself, backup and restore the Webmin configuration and create/modify Webmin users and more.
- System Module
The System module is where you would configure the Linux operating system, backup and restore it and create/modify users and more.
- Servers Module
The Server module is where you would install and configure the various servers that are needed by Asterisk. Some examples are the mySQL server, web server, ftp server, email server, etc..
- Networking Module
This is the section that deals with networking issues such as TCP/IP settings, PPP, ADSL, etc..
- Hardware Module
The Hardware module is interested in anything to do with the hard-drives and their management including the voicemail server. Here you'll find CD burner data, RAID info, LVM info, Partitioning, etc..
- Cluster Module
PBX in a Flash is designed to be scalable. The Cluster module gives you the controls to scale up your servers. Here's the heart of creating and managing those clusters.
- Other Module
The Other Module takes on the job of detailing the other stuff that is required to manage a server bu just doesn't fit into the previous categories. You can upload and download files to the server. There is a SSH/Telnet client for connecting to your server through a command line interface, etc..
