Re: [webmin-l] Webmin won't start

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

Tried that also:

[root@ts130 ~]# /etc/webmin/start
Starting Webmin server in /usr/libexec/webmin
Failed to open SSL cert /etc/webmin/miniserv.pem
Failed to create default SSL context at /usr/libexec/webmin/miniserv.pl line 284.
[root@ts130 ~]#

I haven't gotten far enough to create the SSL cert. Its been a long time since I installed webmin from scratch on a new system, guessing I do that within webmin. Although, just did a webmin install on a RPI running buster with no problems.

Thanks

What if you try starting Webmin by just running /etc/webmin/start ?
