Trouble Shooting Webmin

March 11, 2008

What to do when webmin goes wrong?  As with any dedicated hosting situation, you need to review the situation and possible ask support if you need help.  The other day I noticed somebody having a problem with webmin not working.  They tried to go to :

http://my.ip.address.here:10000/

It wasn’t leading anywhere.  What is a guy with a dedicated server to do?

First you want to check that the webmin process is running by reviewing the list of the processes in order on the server itself.  Then you will want to ensure that the port 10000 is opened in the firewall on the server.  You might also try:

https://the.server.ip.address:10000/

If you are still having problems gaining access to your dedicated hosting’s webmin, then you need to check your /var/log/messages for any hints that could help hunt down the problem.
