I recently performed a system update on my server running Virtualmin/Webmin, and now I’m unable to access the control panel. Whenever I try to log in, I’m greeted with an error message or a blank page. I’ve checked the server logs, but I can’t seem to pinpoint the issue. I’ve tried restarting the services, clearing browser cache, and even rebooting the server, but the issue persists. Has anyone encountered a similar problem after a system update? Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

And that error message would be?

What OS? By system update do you mean a major release update or a standard package update? Webmin/VM update.

EDIT:  
What does this show?  
`systemctl status webmin`
