#5594 webmin stop / exit code error

[M.T.R]

Hi,
reported this multiple times,
but unfortunately this is still not repaired:

systemd[1]: Stopping Webmin server daemon...
systemd[1]: webmin.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
systemd[1]: webmin.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
systemd[1]: Stopped Webmin server daemon.

Hope this helps

Cheers mike

What happens if you run systemctl restart webmin and then what is the output of systemctl status webmin?

[Ilia]

Also, what is your OS and version?

Hi Ilia,

Operating system Debian Linux 10

So, after Webmin was restarted it still doesn't work? What doesn't work exactly, by the way?

Can I have a look at Webmin config and miniserv.conf files?

Hi Ilia,

I reported just the journal log:
systemd[1]: Stopping Webmin server daemon...
systemd[1]: webmin.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
systemd[1]: webmin.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
systemd[1]: Stopped Webmin server daemon.

If this doesn't happen all times, this means that the problem is randomnly happening.
In the case above it was the "STOP" and "START" command instead of the "RESTART".
But I think it comes for all of the 3 commands randomnly.

Where are the 2 config files are located, which you are asking for?

cheers mike
