Webmin showing "This site can’t be reached"

Hi there,

The error message you’re encountering usually occurs when there is a DNS resolution issue or if the Webmin service is not running properly. Here are some steps to help you troubleshoot the issue:

1. Ensure that you have used the correct server IP address or domain name in the URL. Replace “your_server” with your actual server’s IP address or domain name.

2. Make sure the Webmin service is running:

sudo systemctl status webmin

If the service is not running, start it with the following command:

sudo systemctl start webmin

3. Check if the port 10000 is open and listening:

sudo netstat -tuln | grep 10000

If the port is not open, make sure your firewall is not blocking the port:

# If you're using UFW
sudo ufw allow 10000/tcp

# If you're using FirewallD
sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=10000/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --reload

4. If you are using a domain name instead of an IP address, make sure that the domain name is properly pointed to the server IP address. You can check this using a DNS lookup tool or by running the following command:

nslookup your_domain_name

Replace “your_domain_name” with your actual domain name.

After performing the above steps, try accessing the Webmin interface again using the correct URL: https://your_server:10000.

If the issue persists, please provide any error messages or relevant logs to help identify the problem more accurately.

Best,

Bobby
