I have the problem. no errors in /var/webmin/miniserv.error

Webmin 1.610 Virtualmin 3.98.gpl GPL CentOS release 6.3

The problem may be that Virtualmin is trying to check which actions are currently running or not, but the script for this is hanging for some service.

Try editing the file /etc/webmin/init/config and changing the status_check line to status_check=0

unless I need to restart after changing the status_check line to status_check=0, the problem persists.

Does any part of the page load at all? I'm interested to know if the "Boot system" line appears at the top, and if so what it says.

If you SSH into your system and run initctl list , does it complete successfully, or does it hang?

Ok, it looks like on of the init scripts is hanging when asked for the current status.

I will add a timeout in the next Webmin release to prevent this.
