CloudMin keeps saying "Webmin down" even though it's not

Hi,

CloudMin keeps reporting "Webmin down" on 2 of my servers even though I can open http://usaxen01.mydomain.co.za:10000 & http://usaxen07.mydomain.co.za:10000 in my browser. There's no firewall setup on usaxen01 & usaxen07 and CloudMin connects fine to the other servers. So, how do I fix the issue?

The problem with this, is that I can't register new servers for XEN hosting:

Failed to save Xen host : LVM for disk images cannot be used : Webmin is not installed on the host system

If you click on the Edit System link for one of those for which Webmin is reported as down, what does it show in the "Detailed status error" field?

This is on usaxen07:

Detailed status error HTTP error :

And this is on usaxen01 Detailed status error Webmin failed to complete in 20 seconds

I can login and take a look if you like?

Sure, you still have the login details :)

Sorry for the delay, I will take a look at this now.

What's the hostname of your Cloudmin master system though?

don't worry, I got it sorted. Turns out that the new server had "connect using SSL" on by default, even though it doesn't have SSL installed. Is it possible to make it when a server physical server is added, and Webmin is installed through CloudMin that the "connect using SSL" mode isn't enabled by default?

Ok, that would explain it. Normally the correct SSL mode is detected automatically when a system is added, but I can see a bug that is preventing that from happening. A typical install of Webmin will use SSL by default, but only if the Net::SSLeay perl module and openssl are installed.

ok, that makes sense. So doesn't CloudMin install Net::SSLeay when it installs Webmin on new servers?

Not on all operating systems .. but I will fix that.
