Webmin

Redshift

I have installed Webmin on a virtual private server running redhat 7.3 after testing it on a redhat 8.0 box at home it seems to have installed correctly but i cannot access it on port 10000 I get a page not found and as I said it works perfectly on a P2 box I have at home. I installed it from rpm via ssh on both machines but the one on the internet is not working a netstat reveals that port 10000 is open as it should be but I get nothing I even tried tunneling to port 10000 through ssh when I connect to the server but the result is the same. Any ideas anyone.

Try http://127.0.0.1:10000 on the machine locally, see if that helps.

Can you connect that way? If so, it may be a network problem, see if you can ping the machine.

If you can't connect locally, well, bugger.

I can't connect locally since it's a virtual private server from a hosting company I tried tunneling through ssh and connecting locally but it didn't work.
Just to clarify I have a redhat 8.0 box on my network at home on which webmin is working fine over the network. It's the hosted server that is not working for me the server is up and I can ssh into it just fine.

Thanks

Try

ssh -L 10000:localhost:10000 user@host

Maybe the remote webmin is only listening on 127.0.0.1 (which isn't a bad idea at all)

So then connect to localhost port 10000 and hopefully you should see webmin from the remote machine. If you already have one running on your local box try say

ssh -L 5555:localhost:10000 user@host

Then go to http://localhost:5555/

If this doesn't work, ssh into the remote machine and try and telnet localhost 10000 to see if it's running. If it's running as whatever user you could try lsof | grep user | grep LISTEN and see if it's running.

No, it's not (at least by default).

Whether installed from rpm or tar.gz webmin will default to http on port 10000
To get it to listen on https: you need to install the SSLeay module and OpenSSL and enable SSL via the webmin configuration section in webmin.

probaly no help but does'nt redhat usually come with configured firewalls to the hilt, ergo, it could be blocked or alike.


Try an iptables -L and see what happens or even a iptables -F to clear it and try.....



please note, i am probaly totally wrong

Based on past experience, if you are not sitting behind a hardware firewall, RH's iptables would not cover a port as high as 10000 by default.
