You might want to check with the webmin log to make sure there wasn't a problem -- in /var/webmin/miniserv.error.

However, to make sure a service starts at bootup, look in Webmin -> System -> Bootup and Shutdown. -Eric

And just in case you're asking how to actually start it:

/etc/init.d/webmin start

so, this is my miniserv.error: Failed to initialize SSL connection [17/Jun/2009:05:01:53 +0200] miniserv.pl started [17/Jun/2009:05:01:54 +0200] PAM authentication enabled Failed to bind to port 10000 : Address already in use Could not listen on any ports at /usr/share/webmin/miniserv.pl line 447. Error: Failed to initialize SSL connection Failed to initialize SSL connection

How can i fix errors? thanks

Hrm.

Well, the second is error is no big deal, that's just because someone visited the site without using "https".

I'm not sure what to offer about the first one -- I wouldn't expect to see an error like that on startup.

It implies that Webmin was already running when the init script was launched.

So why isn't it starting on bootup? I'm not really sure :-) It launches fine when you do so from the command line? And when you looked in the Bootup and Shutdown screen, Webmin was set to start on boot? -Eric

now it's working well. maybe after restarting server, i restarted webmin manually but it was restarting by default, so double restart?

thanks

however i've found that some service was not enabled. for example SPAMASSASIN, i've selected it under webmin->service->boot... selected SPAMASSASIN and then restart. Restarting the system told me that service was disabled so i've had to enable it in /etc/defualt/spamassasin with ENABLE=1. So, every other servise, i mean in standard virtualmin installation.sh script, are ok, or have i to check everyone? thanks

Okay, a few questions regarding that --

  1. What distro/version are you using?

  2. Did you install Virtualmin with the install.sh?

  3. Roughly when did you download the install.sh? -Eric

  1. I'm on Ubuntu 8.04 server edition, and Virtualmin is 3.69 gpl
  2. Yes, using install.sh
  3. 1 month ago

Thanks
