Hi,

I try to install the module for mobile but I can't connet from android. I follow the instructions from the url http://webmin.com/mobile.html

Is there anything else I have to do?

Howdy -- well, the mobile theme doesn't enable or disable access from a mobile device. It's just a theme that can be used.

So if you're having trouble accessing Virtualmin from your mobile device, that may be a different issue you're seeing there.

Can you describe what happens when trying to access Virtualmin from your Android device?

yes, you have right.

I can successfully have access to my android using a web browser.

The problem I have was when I try to access from an app I find in Google Play called "webmin for Android".

I'm unfortunately not familiar with that app, that's not one that we built. So you may want to chat with the author about the problem you're experiencing.

However, the new Authentic theme supports mobile devices quite nicely, you may want to give the Authentic theme a try to see if it works well for you on your Android device.

I have used the Authentic theme and everything works fine in my mobile!

Thank you!

Yeah, we don't really recommend the app that is in the store. It is just a webview that opens Webmin. The new Authentic Theme is designed for both mobile and desktop browsers, and should provide a better experience than that old webview thing. If you run into any problems doing things in a mobile browser with the default Authentic theme, feel free top open a bug here, and Ilia and I will be able to help get it sorted out. (But, we expect most things to Just Work.)
