i installed webmin, twice, but it still won't come up.
i am typing...
"http://my.ip.address:10000";
...in the address bar of a browser and just get the "this page cannot be displayed" error.
i have been looking all over on the webmin website and can't find anything there. i actually think that that website is a joke. one, it's stupid that it looks identical to the program interface (confusing) and two, it doesn't have any help instructions... like... what to do if it doesn't work.
what's my first step in debugging this? what do i need to do or where to i need to look to figure out why it isn't coming up?
First thing to try is 'netstat -lp' (That's an L for listening). This will tell you which programs are listening on which ports, which will tell you if webmin is even running. If it's not running you need to start it. There may be an entry in /etc/init.d/ or it may run from inetd, I'm not sure (never used it). Either way, some service needs to be started '/etc/init.d/webmin start' or '/etc/init.d/inetd restart'.
