Virtualmin doesn't run upon installation. How might I get it restarted?

Howdy -- thanks for contacting us!

Do you see the same results when trying to connect using the IP address, rather than the domain name?

Also, what is the output of this command:

netstat -anlp | grep :10000

It looks like Virtualmin is running on port 10000 there.

It also looks like Virtualmin is running behind a NAT router though.

Is it possible that port 10000 on the NAT router hasn't been forwarded to the Virtualmin server?

port 10000 is forwarded to the machine

I just tested it now -- I browsed to this URL:

https://nick.cool:10000/

And I can see your Virtualmin login screen.

Is that working for you now, or are you still seeing the same issue?

seems to be running. What should I do if it happens again?

Submitted by andreychek on Sat, 06/08/2019 - 10:33

I'm glad to hear it's working now!

I'm unfortunately not really sure what the issue was, so I couldn't say what to do in the future.

It did look like Virtualmin was running, so it's possible it was a temporary routing or networking issue, but it's really hard to say.

seems to be down again:

nn@nick:~$ ping nick.cool:10000 ping: nick.cool:10000: Name or service not known

however cli is running:

nn@nick:~$ sudo virtualmin list-commands

Yeah I'm not able to access any ports on your server, it's not just Virtualmin port 10000.

That seems to indicate some sort of routing or networking issue.

You may need to ensure that the server is online, and that the iP address hasn't changed.

I reinstalled os and virtualmin during the period that you checked; check again

Submitted by andreychek on Sat, 06/08/2019 - 17:36

Yup, it all does appear to be accessible now.
