Webmin SSL not working
I cannot access Webmin via SSL.
I want to point out I did not install this turnkey linux setup or webmin. If I make ssl=1 into ssl=0 in the /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf file I can connect and login to webmin via http. However, I really need this to work over https.
This is the error I get in IE:
Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage.
In Firefox:
The connection was reset.
In Chrome:
This webpage is not available.
I have confirmed that port=12321 and listen=12321 in /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf as well.
Any ideas on what could be wrong?
It appears it may not be listening properly.
netstat -lp --inet shows :

I have the same issue also.
Reply 1Server is TKL and browser running on Windows
Reply 2Thanks for the relpy JedMeister. I appreciate the help.
In the end it was simpler than that. The IP address I had assigned was being used by another device. All working now.
Assuming that you are all running Windows...!?
Reply 3I suggest that you check your 'Internet Settings'. IIRC if you have your IE/Windows Internet Security Settings on 'High' then only https sites with CA signed certs are allowed by default (and by default all other web browsers will comply with IE/Win settings).
I also recall at one point I had a similar problem (although it wasn't on all browsers - IIRC it was only Firefox) that I had accidentally clicked a button which blocked the site (following the self-signed cert warning). I had to remove the black-listing of my server. I suspect that isn't your issue but thought I'd mention it just in case...
One other thing that I have experienced is another similar problem I had (although again not on all browsers, this time it was Chrome and it wasn't even TKL server but my Proxmox Server although similar thing...). I was getting the "This webpage is not available" error but it worker fine via Firefox. SImply cleaning the browser cache resolved that one...
Also obile, I note you say that it looks like it's not "listening properly". Why do you say that? Perhaps I'm missing something but it looks ok to me... namely:
tcp 0 0 *:12321 *:* LISTEN 2330/perl ... udp 0 0 *:12321 *:* 2330/perl
Webmin is a Perl app and should be listening on 12321 and it appears to be identical to a working server that I have handy (except for the Perl PID obviously):
tcp 0 0 *:12321 *:* LISTEN 774/perl ... udp 0 0 *:12321 *:* 774/perl
Any pointers would be appreciated.
