Webmin and/or port 10000 not working

Solution 1:

I managed to fix this following the advice on this page by adding the rule to the beginning of the list, rather than the end. If you append it, the rule comes after all the traffic has been dropped, which doesn't work.

This command did it:

iptables -I INPUT 1 -p tcp --dport 10000 -j ACCEPT

Solution 2:

Try changing the port and listen in \etc\webmin\miniserv.conf

example:

port=1000
listen=1000

Then restart webmin:

/etc/init.d/webmin restart

Now use:
