While updating webmin-virtual-server 3.90 to 3.91.gpl on sqeeze, the following message displayed and since then https://176.9.147.175:10000/ is not available with “connection attempt to 176.9.147.175 was rejected”; need help to revitalize excellent virtualmin and webmin platforms, I can’t work without.

First Rule: Virtualmin is always right
Second Rule: If (you think that) Virtualmin is wrong read First Rule.
Conclusion:
Virtualmin was ok; it was my sister who modified miniserv.conf port from 10000 to 443

I’m glad you figured that out! That would have been a tricky one to troubleshoot :slight_smile:

Have a good weekend!
