If you are the only person who uses the server, I see no reason, not to pick way 1.

#Install webmin on slackware password

In and just type the desired username which is identical to my Unix non-root work user (you can also just type there root) and a password without brackets. If it doesn't work, try this:Ĭreate a Webmin user: /usr/share/webmin/ /etc/webmin If you created a non root work user (with a password) just try to login with it. In this case, all is required is creating a root password in Unix, via: passwd rootĬreate a password and you're good to go. Note that in some cases, some people don't create a root password and hence when logging in with SSH keys, they can't do some password-requiring operations with root, like logging in to Webmin, and they might wonder why. If you want to use your Unix root user to operate in Webmin just create a password for it if you haven't already, and login with it. So basically there are 2 ways to solve this problem. Yet, it seems Webmin didn't use the non-root work user I created in Unix for some reason, maybe it was due to a typo or corrupted pasting of a ready password, back when I created my Unix non-root work user. Naturally, Webmin uses your Unix users as its own users (that includes root).

If the software is installed in the conventional way, port 10000 is opened, and no clear error is seen anywhere (or thus it seems to me), what else can prevent a user from logging to Webmin in this case? Both locate webmin.log or find / -type f -name webmin.log 2>/dev/null, so I can't use that particular file to further debug.

Even though /etc/webmin/config already includes log=1.

The host has been blocked because of too many authentication failures. Webmin miniserv log give no clear error: tail /var/webmin/miniserv.error

AH00094: Command line: '/usr/sbin/apache2' AH00163: Apache/2.4.18 (Ubuntu) configured - resuming normal operations Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message

AH00171: Graceful restart requested, doing restartĪH00558: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1. Apache error log shows no webmin-related errors: tail /var/log/apache2/error.log Not only I can go to the login screen when without probelm, Port 10,000 is LISTEN, so it's quite certainly not a CSF-LFD issue. I Checked from several browsers after total browser cache-flush: It's not a browser Cache issue. I made sure I insert the correct password (I checked that in about 5 different occasions). I've already installed Webmin several times on VPSs and never had this problem in which I try to login and the login fails, with no error, anywhere (or thus it seems to me). I can repeat this process up to 5 times till I'm blocked for 1 minute.

Yet I just can't access it: When I go to I fill in the username and password, click login, and the page just refresh for about 0.25 second. I then installed Webmin and unfiltered its native port (10000) which was filtered by CSF-LFD from before: cat > /etc/apt/sources.list Sed -i 's/TESTING = '1'/TESTING = '0'/g' /etc/csf/csf.conf

I have installed CSF-LFD to filter almost all ports in the machine: # Setup CSF-LFD: I use Ubuntu server 16.04 on which I base my Apache server environment.
