[webmin-l] Webmin won't start

[TE D. <td...@pa...>]

Hello,

I just upgraded to Centos 8 Stream and cannot get webmin to start. There are
no logs in /var/log or /var/webmin. There's nothing in /var/log/messages.

Here's the output from systemctl status webmin:

root@ts130 ~]# systemctl status webmin

I found a similar issue on sourceforge.net but there was no clear answer how
the person fixed the problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
