Problem with Webmin?

[tsuehpsyde]

I install webmin and everything installs as it should, but after the services is started and I go to https://host.com:10000/ it says:

Code: Select all

You are not authorized to view this page 
You might not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials you supplied.

The 403 error. It's probably a simple config somewhere or a permission I need to set, but I'm new to Debian and in Gentoo, you just fire it up and it works.

Thanks.

Did you give the page proper permissions?

Code: Select all

chmod a+rx page_in_question

Uhm, webmin isn't a folder locally installed into the domain's html root folder...it's symbolic and works for any and all domains, so I'd have to know where that folder is located in order to set the permissions, hense why I asked where I had to set the info at.

Does `$ ls -l` not show the linked file?

It's WEBMIN. It RUNS as a service on a different port (namely 10000).

The problem turned out to be a configuration error. By default, Debian locks webmin to localhost access only, so you have to lynx into webmin via SSH into your server, then add your IP address (or remove restrictions completely) into the allowed hosts.
