Hi,

Might be that this is not the expected answer but try https:// instead of
http://. I run into the same trouble some weeks ago...

Hopefully, this isn't too much of a newbie question.

I have a fresh install of Linux Mandrake 7.2, which will not allow me to
connect to Webmin from the local console or from another workstation on my
LAN. I can't find much in the way of documentation, especially for
troubleshooting. So my first request would be for a comprehensive source of
documentation. What I've found at the Webmin site and Caldera have been
precious little use, but I have tried what they suggest. Logging in to
localhost:1 doesn't work, and results in this error message -
connection to host localhost is broken. I have tried with Apache running
and not running. I have checked the miniserv config file, and all seems
well except for the following entries which are seemingly incomplete.

ppath=
atboot=

Any help would be greatly appreciated. We are trying to build a new mail
and file server for our school, and I am trying to convince my superiors
that we don't need yet another NT server.

Thanks

Thank you. It worked. I was typing http://localhost:1. Once I used https it worked 
fine. Thanks to all for the quick response.

contrary to the message you get when you type 'webmin' at the prompt, you
need to goto the url:

https://localhost:1

the https is important.
also, make sure the service is running by going into linuxconf.
