I have a VPS Server which is accessible as http://vm39483. abchost .net/10000
Although, I have bought SSL for the domains hosted on virtualmin server and have applied to webmin and virtualmin.
Despite that access to https://vm39483. abchost .net/10000 shows as insecure (says NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID)
I need to know whether existing domain SSL gets applied to the virtualmin login access point i.e https://vm39483. abchost .net:10000 OR I need to get a new SSL and apply to the login url domain i.e vm39483. abchost .net
I would be most glad to get some reply to my problem.
No, you do not need to get a new certificate for port 10000. After you had applied the certificate, did you use the following screen to configure Virtualmin to use the certificate on port 10000 (Webmin + Virtualmin) and 20000 (Usermin)?
Yes, I have applied in the same manner as shown in the pic. However, my domain helios7. com shows up in the virtualmin drop down. I cannot see my vps address i.e vmi411011.contaboserver.net in the domain selection drop down [as it is showing tiki21...com in the image you sent]. In my case, I only see my domain i.e helios7 .com and one more domain.
I have applied certificates from Helios7 .com
Please let me know if there is something I need to do to get my vmi411011.contaboserver.net show up in the drop down there?
If the mentioned domain is the host system itself, then you won’t see it there. You can access the configuration in the webinterface itself for it. There is no specific VS entry for it.
I used the “Copy to Webmin” and Usermin and all that and it still doesn’t work. It works on all my servers, but not on port 10000 or 20000. Even when I go to Webmin itself and look at the SSL settings for Webmin, it shows that it’s using my VPS certificate.
It still doesn’t work though and never has, so I left it alone and have been just living with it ever since.
Just contact Webmin and Usermin on a domain name that has a working cert. Don’t fiddle with it. Just use it the way it was intended to work…i.e. if you’re hosting example.tld on your server, and it has a working TLS certificate, then browse to https://example.tld:10000. It will use the cert for that domain.
Of course it can be done like that and that is the easiest way.
But please don’t get me wrong, it’s just not what he asked for. That’s at least why I posted what I thought might help.
I was trying to get SSL implemented on virtualmin, but it is showing “ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED” now
Surely the SSL has not been installed correctly. Also I added I.P addresses of my internet provider in order to secure virtualmin login url under “IP Access Control”
It was surely a bad move to make two changes at the same time, but I do have a back up of virtualmin configuration file. I copied old miniserv.conf file and few other files in /etc/conf/ folder and /etc/conf.d/ folder
Contabo Support wants me to re-install virtualmin, but I know lot of settings go into virtualmin. So trying my best to restore it somehow
Any suggestions on how to get out of this new problem ? I would greatly appreciate your suggestions.
How about starting at the beginning? You said you did this and that and restored here and there.
Start from the beginning.
Which OS? Which versions from virtualmin /etc? Where do you get the error message? How did you restore?
Is it error related to the virtual min authentic (default) theme or something else.
2)Is there any way to Re-install Webmin/Virtualmin without losing existing settings?
Can theme be upgraded with a new one using Putty commands?
