Hi, I am having trouble connecting to the Virtualmin interface after running the Virtualmin install script. There were no errors during the install, but when I copy the IP address link that the script gives me to connect to the Virtualmin interface, it spends about 30 seconds trying to connect and then times out. Usermin connects ok on port 20000. I read somewhere that some hosts block port 10000, but I have another Virtualmin server on the same host running Ubuntu that is able to connect on port 10000, so the problem can’t be that the port is being blocked. Any ideas? It was working just over a week ago when I was setting up a test server…
Check the firewall and try to restart the webmin interface.
iptables -L

Also # service webmin restart had no effect.
The 10000 port is allowed with a target area mapping.
You can try to add the port directly, but I dont think it will change something.
And I guess your own assumption from your first port, might still be valid (even if you said its unlikely).
I tried changing the port and listen in \etc\webmin\miniserv.conf, but that didn’t change anything. Let me just repeat that this is a fresh install of Debian 10 and Virtualmin so no settings should have to be changed. It should just work right out of the box, correct?
Hi,
Try apt-get update && apt-get upgrade and then restart Webmin, once again:
/etc/webmin/restart
Thank you for the suggestion, but unfortunately it didn’t help. I even tried starting over with a fresh installation of Ubuntu 18.04 and Virtualmin and I am having the same issue so it is not distribution specific. I was able to set up a Virtualmin test server a little over a week ago so did something change in the install script within the last week that can be causing this problem? If not, then it has to be something to do with my virtual server host.
Ok, I think it is my desktop OS that is causing the issue as I was able to access the Virtualmin interface from my phone. I tried clearing my browser cache but that didn’t help. I even tried installing another web browser on my desktop, but that was giving me the same problem. Finally, after booting into Linux Mint from a CD I was able to connect. Since I am able to access the Virtualmin interface from a different OS, this issue can be marked as solved.
