Webmin doesn't start automatically on CentOS 6.3

I need some help troubleshooting my CentOS server. I installed it originally as 6.2 fresh install and run the virtualmin script. Everything installed properly so I thought. Now I realised 3 system services do not run on reboot, such as webmin, usermin and openfire. If I log on terminal and run them as "service webmin start" the services run fine. Could someone please help me sorting this out. I would like them to start automatically on reboot. Thank you in advance.

Howdy,

If you go into Webmin -> System -> Bootup and Shutdown, are Webmin and Usermin listed as starting at bootup?

If not, you could set them to start up bootup at that screen.

Ty for your reply. All of them are listed to boot at startup , but they don't , they show up if I manually start them. By the way it shows that the Boot system : Upstart . In case that may be of help. Has anyone working webmin with CentOS 6.3?, does it boot at startup?

I have a centos 6.3 with working webmin at boot.

the startup script is as follows:

 #!/bin/sh
# chkconfig: 235 99 10

case "$1" in
'start')
    $start >/dev/null 2>&1 </dev/null
    RETVAL=$?
    if [ "$RETVAL" = "0" ]; then
        touch $lockfile >/dev/null 2>&1
    fi
    ;;

    $stop
    RETVAL=$?
    if [ "$RETVAL" = "0" ]; then
        rm -f $lockfile
    fi

    if [ "$pidfile" = "" ]; then
        pidfile=$pidFile
    fi
    rm -f $pidfile
    ;;

    pidfile=`grep "^pidfile=" $confFile | sed -e 's/pidfile=//g'`

    fi
    if [ -s $pidfile ]; then
        pid=`cat $pidfile`
        kill -0 $pid >/dev/null 2>&1
        if [ "$?" = "0" ]; then
            echo "$name (pid $pid) is running"
            RETVAL=0
        else
            echo "$name is stopped"

This one is mine, I think you posted yours as markdown text and not filtered HTML so the bit in the pid file shows up with funny symbols. They seem to be the same, as I said chkconfig shows the right parameters and if I start it manually either with /etc/init.d/webmin start or service webmin start , both methods work fine. Could someone please lead me somewhere where I could maybe see logs regarding the failure on reboot. Thank you.

Have the same problem. CentOS 6.2 Webmin last version

After server reboot: [root@mail ~]# date Seg Ago 6 18:21:03 WEST 2012 [root@mail ~]# service webmin status Webmin is stopped

It is marked to start on boot using Webmin -> System -> Boot up and shutdown chkconfig on 2 3 4 5

I tried a fresh install today to see if I have missed or failed something. Still not working.
