webmin woes

[BigSteez]

i downloaded and installed webmin fine. When it finished installing it said i should be able to go to http://localhost:10000/ and use my root and root pswd but when i try i get "operation timed out attempting to contact" and it doesnt ask me for a user name or password Im very new to this and have checked all over to get help but i didnt find anything relevant and this is my last resort. Any help is appreciated.

I forgot to say that im using redhat 9 on one box
and windows xp pro on the other box if that matters

that you can connect to webmin.
1) http://localhost:10000
2) http://[ip address :10000
3) http://[hostname : 10000

hope it helps

Oh yeah, and if you have rebooted your box, check dmesg and see if webmin started on bootup, if you haven't rebooted, got to your services control section and start the webmin service.

I have tried all of those ways. When i try localhost i get operation timed out when i try ipaddress or hostname i get connection refused? any idea

i havent used webmin in quite some time since i found it easier to just edit the files manually (i had the same problem as you) but there is a file where you need to uncomment the port to allow webmin to run.

sorry to be so vague, and maybe i can help jar someone elses memory. it could be a starting point

It uses ssl now, it's https://localhost:10000

Hope that helps!

If memory serves you will have to tell webmin which IP addresses can connect.

Also, be sure that you request http://ipaddress:10000 as my webmin does not respond w/o the http://

In webmin configuration you have the option to setup IP Access Control, but being you cant login at all what good does that do you right?

Also, did you install from src or rpm?
