I followed a tutorial posted on Digital Ocean for installing Ubuntu 18.04, Lamp Server, Encrypt, and all of their recommendations prior to installing Webmin. Then I followed their instructions for installing Webmin, and it seemed that I had no problems at all - no errors with any of the steps.
However, I know I did something wrong because the Webmin login page does not come up when I use my domain name in a browser, instead the page says "Index of /" and not the Webmin login.
If I go to my public IP address, or my local IP address for the server, the Webmin login page does appear, however the HTTPS is not functional that way. When I tried to install the ceertbot certificate there is an error that says "Failed redirect for <my domain="">, so I know I need to change my redirect configuration somehow, but I'm having trouble finding a quick answer with Google. Does anyone know what I need to do?</my>
THanks,
Rob

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Your issue might be two-fold, making it more complicated.
If you haven't solved it already, the symptom suggests that at least half the issue is how your webserver is setup. You dont have the root directory set to the correct folder so it doesn't find the index.html or the index.php and instead is giving a folder tree listing of whatever folder it's pointing at.
For the redirect issue i'm not sure.
