Hi,

It looks like another service is using the port number, preventing Virtualmin from starting correctly.

Mr. Peter Knowles helped me out of this situation. His support was a relief. Although the issue was not new, but over the time I had forgotten about it, being out of touch with the issue. But Mr. Knowles approach and the way he stood during the short session and troubleshoot things was very appreciating. This makes love virtualmore even more.

Issue in detail:

After a recent server update lookup-domain deamon was updated and activated, which took over the miniserver port causing it to go dead. We figure it out troubleshooting. Put the deamon asleep, which opened the miniserver back again. That's it.

Thanks and best regards. Dave
