cannot seem to access webmin

[mark edwards]

hello - another year has started, and i am running into another bizarre issue.

my webmin/virtualmin has been fine for months, but after running dnf -y upgrade; i can no longer access the browser 10000 page.

according to this webpage: https://www.webmin.com/firewall.html

i should fix it by going into the /etc/sysconfig/iptables script and add

-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 10000 -j ACCEPT

then simply run:

systemctl restart iptables.service ; systemctl status iptables.service ;

but that did not fix it. HOWEVER, when i did:

systemctl stop iptables.service ;

now it is working fine!

any suggestions where i go from here? (and please quit responding: "you go to the unemployment line")

this seemed to fix it:

iptables -I INPUT 1 -p tcp --dport 10000 -j ACCEPT ;

perhaps this needs to be done at reboot...

finally, went into /etc/sysconfig/iptables and added:

-I INPUT 1 -p tcp --dport 10000 -j ACCEPT

this seems to have fixed it.
