583424 2007-08-21 08:37:00 Installed webmin on my FC6 linux machine but cannot connect to it in the browser. Started the service with /etc/webmin/start but stilll it does not connect through my browser. Any suggestions? ronyville (10611)
583425 2007-08-21 08:48:00 What URL are you using to open it? Do you get any error messages? Jen (38)
583426 2007-08-21 08:48:00 Are you connecting to the correct port? I think, from memory, webmin runs on 8080. byte (11156)
583427 2007-08-21 08:50:00 The default is port 10000. Jen (38)
583428 2007-08-21 09:32:00 using http://localhost:10000

Error
Unable to connect.
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:10000.

583429 2007-08-21 09:35:00 Try turning off the firewall and see if this makes a difference. Jen (38)
583430 2007-08-21 09:47:00 Firewall and SELinux is both off! Maybe I should try reinstalling it? ronyville (10611)
583431 2007-08-21 09:52:00 Did you install it manually (source or RPM) or via yum? Jen (38)
583432 2007-08-21 09:55:00 Did you install it manually (source or RPM) or via yum?

RPM using the Software installer... the same way I did it at work. I have mucked around with my linux machine a lot in the past so m guessing its some settings that I changed ..... that I cant remember.
