Wembin's Web Server crashes

Having an issue where webmin's webserver, I think it's the miniserv, is crashing and webmin is therefore inaccessible until I ssh in and do a service webmin restart. Is there a log file I may have missed that would give some insight? Anything to check for this issue? It's a bit on the annoying side. I am using the latest version per the yum repository.

Status: 
Closed (fixed)

Howdy -- that can happen if the server runs low on resources.

How much RAM/swap is in your server? You can determine that with this command:

free -m

Also, if you run "dmesg | tail -50", do you see any messages about OOM killer needing to stop processes?

Check the /var/log/messages file on your system - it may be that Webmin's webserver was killed due to lack of RAM.

I didn't see anything that stood out but memory was low. I added 4GB more to the VM and it seems to be ok now after a reboot. I'll check these same things if I see it again and report. back. Thanks!!
