| SYSTEM INFORMATION | | | --- | --- | | OS type and version | Debian Linux 12 | | Webmin version | 2.670 | Like the new look of Webmin \> Servers \> Nginx Webserver. However, I don’t see anywhere to restart Nginx after editing a server .conf file. I can do it from the System \> Bootup & Shutdown section. But it would be nice to have the buttons back in the Nginx Webserver section. Thanks for looking into this! ---

I’m pretty sure we just had a discussion about this, but I can’t find it now. Check the `/var/webmin/miniserv.error` log for clues about why the page doesn’t finish loading. I believe it’s a misconfiguration (IPv6 enabled but not configured, or something like that) combined with a bug. The bug is fixed in git, I’m pretty sure, but you can fix it locally be fixing the configuration problem. `miniserv.error` probably has the clue about what that misconfiguration is. ---

I see where it is now. I was expecting it at the bottom of the page, where most of the action buttons are located, not the top. Also running the default white background theme, so the [Apply Changes] button is lite gray on white. Not the easiest to see. Now I know. Thanks! ---

Yeah, it’s slightly inconsistent with non-tabbed pages, where the button is at the bottom of the row, as on the Dovecot module, for example. I think Jamie designed it this way because when the config can be changed from multiple tabs, the restart button remains always available in the top-right corner of the table header.
