KennyP Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Webmin install complete. You can now login to https://lp01:10000/as root with your root password. I have just install webmin on my server, but I get message, "The page cannot be displayed" when I trying to access it with, "https://ip:10000/".

How do I enable webmin to accept remote connections? 585637701[/snapback] Well, usually I would use webmin to do that. Presumably there is a .conf file in your /etc or /etc/webmin directory.

rezza Veteran Posted March 20, 2005 Veteran Share Posted March 20, 2005 If you can't find the option to change in the config file, you could always ssh in to your server and run a text-based browser (links, w3m, etc) from there. That should let you access webmin for long enough to tell it to accept external logins... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotRoot Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 It may be caused by running https instead of http. You need to have SSL mode enabled before you can access it that route. Its been awhile since I've ran webmin, but I'm pretty sure by default it allows remote connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Derf Veteran Posted March 24, 2005 Veteran Share Posted March 24, 2005 If you have SSH access, you have no need to use webmin. 585666609[/snapback] Some people like to point and click their way around rather than enter commands in the shell. I personally use Webmin even when local. Case in point, no-one has come up with a command line solution to Webmin not allowing remote connections yet it would be easy to do within Webmin.

j79zlr Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 I personally wouldn't use webmin strictly because of security. If you must use it, then you should better use https for it. Is the OP sure that it is running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wittering Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 This is my miniserv.conf.Which option do I need to change? 585637754[/snapback] If you add : allow=your current IP then restart webmin you should be able to log in via the web interface...

nicedreams Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 do this to your miniserv.conf Don't put an ip. Just leave it blank. allow= That's it. Now you can log into it from any computer. If you put an IP in there, then only that IP can access it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Derf Veteran Posted August 24, 2005 Veteran Share Posted August 24, 2005 IMO, this is an example of a worthy thread ressurection. Even if the original poster has solved the problem by now, perhaps someone will search and find this thread useful. Welcome to Neowin wittering.

zivan56 Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Is samba installed on the server or is it acting as a DHCP/DNS server for the pc you use to access it?

Amandeep Goyal Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Hi friends I was having the same issue. Just restart the firewall as well, after giving exception and adding the 'allow=' field in miniserv.cnf. It'll work thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
