webmin

[chadm1967]

Hi all,

I use webmin at home on my Red Hat box and everything seems to work fine. I installed it on my Linux box at work and can't seem to get logged into it. It's using port 10000 (could this be the problem?) and the name of my computer is redhat1. When I type in http://redhat1:10000/, it wants to connect to http://redhat1.com. I can't quite figure out why it's doing this. Could this possibly have something to do with the network at work?

Thanks for any help you can give.

What browser are you using?
We have trouble at work accessing the ntop web interface with ie. Maybe that is your issue at work as well?
Hope I helped :(

Are you accessing Webmin from the same machine? Try entering 127.0.0.1:10000 or the IP address if it is a remote system.

Try either
http://localhost:10000
or
https://localhost:10000

Thanks for the replies.

I found that http://localhost:10000/ works from Konqueror but not from Galeon or Mozilla.

Why would localhost work but the actual host name?

:confused:

Another quick question.....

How do you see what IP address the computer is using when using DHCP? I used to know how to do this but I'm drawing a blank.

ifconfig should show the address or you can use this script. Save it to a file, chmod +x filename

#!/bin/sh
# getIP.sh
# the following is one line:
IPADDR=$(/sbin/ifconfig eth0|grep "inet addr" | /usr/bin/awk '{print $2}' | /usr/bin/awk -F: '{print $2}')
printf "IP address: $IPADDR\n"


printf "IP address: $IPADDR\n (is a separate line)

Have a look at your /etc/services file and see if anything is being used by port 10000, and if there is an entry for port 10000, change your /etc/webmin.conf file and change it to use port 10001 and everything should work fine from then on.
