1.830 update broke webmin

Submitted by dnosker on Tue, 01/03/2017 - 20:16

Can't access webmin after upgrade to 1.830. It just gives blank page with title of "Error".

miniserv.error shows the following each time page is refreshed: Error: Failed to open /etc/webmin/authentic-theme/csf.ui-introduced for writing : No such file or directory

Status: 
Closed (fixed)

Does it help if you SSH in as root and create the directory /etc/webmin/authentic-theme ?

Also, note that Ilia has fixed this bug in the next version of Authentic.

Hello,

After updating to latest version of webmin (1.830) it became impossible to log in to webmin; after entering the username/password it says "Error" in page title, and only displays a gray screen. This issue happened on multiple, unrelated, centos 7.3 systems (centos 6.8 remained functional). I've tried restarting the webmin service, and even rebooting, with no success. It's not browser related, as it does the same with multiple browsers.

systemctl status webmin -l

Cool!

Just mkdir /etc/webmin/authentic-theme && chmod 711 /etc/webmin/authentic-theme. It should work then.
