Need a little help getting Webmin to work
I expect that when I go to 173.255.234.98:10000 I enter the webnin console for further administration. Instead I get "Error - Access denied for 24.61.81.241". My machine is indeed at that IP, and I am accessing it through Mac OSX / Safari.
I checked (and played around with) /etc/webmin/minserv.conf to verify that the allow IP address is my IP address and that the port is correct. I also restarted webmin with /etc/init.d/webmin restart. I verified that webmin is running with ps ax | grep webmin which indicates that it is running and apparently has started on that .conf file.
The conf file is below. Can you help me trouble shoot the problem? Thanks,
Pito

When I try your IP using https I get 'Error code: ERRSSLPROTOCOL_ERROR'.
@Main Street James:
It's been a while since I tested webmin but I think it only lets you access port 10000 while using https. I also remember doing something on webmin on port 20000.
When I try your IP using https I get 'Error code: ERRSSLPROTOCOL_ERROR'.
It does that because it's not running in SSL mode, he has 'ssl=0' in his Webmin configuration.
EDIT: I should probably mention this, but vonskippy is correct, you need only one 'allow=' line if you're only wanting your IP in. Also try seeing if accessing Webmin with http:// instead of https:// works, after you make that change.
