Hi there,
I have made a huge mistake, in the webmin configuration, I changed the ipv4 address of the eth0 device from 10.0.0.222 to 52.211.197.98 and now I am stuck out of the system, I cannot even access it via ssh.
I have managed to attach the root storage volume that VIrtualmin was installed on, to another computer so I can change the configuration files. Where may I find the configuration file that was changed when i changed the ipv4 address? I looked in /etc/network/interfaces but could not find anything to do with 52.211.197.98. The system is ubuntu 16.04.
Thank you so much for your time, this is a bit of a disaster for me!
Kind Regards, Laurence

Ok so I have regained ssh access, however, I am still unable to access virtualmin. The webpage just says the page took too long.
Is there a command line I can run to change the webmin configuration?

Howdy -- since you're able to access the system using SSH, what you could always try is to restart Webmin.
To do that, run this command here as root:
service webmin restartAfter that, are you able to access Webmin/Virtualmin?
No unfortunately that has not fixed the problem. It has change something though, because the page does load but it just says welcome to JBoss.

Webmin and Virtualmin don't actually use jBoss though, they're a Perl app that runs on port 10000.
Can you confirm that it's port 10000 that's being accessed?
Also, what is the output of these commands:
iptables -L -nnetstat -an | grep :10000
