[webmin-l] Re: Suse 9.3 - cannot access webmin

Dear Greg

Thanks for replying.  It turns out that there is a bug in the version I =
installed (1.220-1) and it is necessary to run "sudo -s =
/etc/webmin/start"  to get it started.  Then it works fine.

Jeff

  Jeff:

  Also, if you have access to a command line do this...

  ps -ef | grep miniserv, if this does not return any results (other =
than the 'grep' command itself, then webmin is not running.  You can try =
to start it by issuing the following from the command line:
  /etc/webmin/start

  Then repeat the ps command to see if it actually started.

  Cheers,
  -Greg Moeller

  Please excuse the very basic question, but I am a complete newbie to =
linux=20
  (using Suse 9.3) and I was advised to install webmin to configure my=20
  wireless and samba more easily.

  I downloaded webmin-1.220-1.noarch.rpm from=20
  http://www.webmin.com/download.html, installed it as su using  rpm -U=20
  webmin-1.220-1.noarch.rpm .  The install went well and searching for =
it in=20
  YaST I find it is in fact installed - but shown with the "locked icon" =

  indicating it apparently cannot be modified.

  My problem is that when I enter  http://localhost:10000/ in a browser =
I get=20
  an error message
  "The connection was refused when attempting to contact =
localhost:10000"

  At the time, the browser can successfully access the internet. Not =
really=20
  knowing my way around linux I do not know what to look for to solve =
the=20
  problem.  I've searched the web but have not come up with anything.

  Also, not important but it might be a clue, webmin does  not appear on =
the K=20
  Menus.

  Any advice would be appreciated.
