I was looking for an open source / free web control panel that would allow users easily set up websites via virtual hosts and ftp accounts

Here are the steps to get it up and running quickly. This has to be done on a fresh new slice and not one that is already hosting other websites.

  1. This assumes you have created a Ubuntu 8.04 slice 
  2. Set it up as per instructions here:

  3. The fastest way to set up Virtualmin using the install script:
    http://www.webmin.com/vinstall.html

    $ wget http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/scripts/install.sh
    $ chmod +x install.sh
    $ sudo ./install.sh 

    That’s all! You’ll be able to view your site via https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:10000
     

  4. I’ve managed to set it up with rails too following the instructions here:
