Can't access Webmin....site takes forever to load, impossible to work with
Hi
I've got a static IP and setup dedicated URL for my LAMP instance. Using the Hub console the only name it uses to connect to webmin is the dyndns that was assigned to it.
Accessing my site is fine, I just can't connect to webmin. I've tried using the dyndns name, my dns name, the IP and the site will hang for a very long time till I stop it from loading and sometimes the dashboard will appear. From there I try to access Backups and only once have I managed to do a backup (about 3 weeks ago), since then I just can't get in.
The fact that it eventually connects at some level tells me that something is blocking it. I connect over https and get a warning that the root certificate is not trusted and must be installed in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities Store, could this be the reason for the poor speed?
URL I access: https://aurikbmc.tklapp.com:12321
Your help is appreciated.
Kind regards
Jason

Reply 2Firstly the certificate warning would not be the issue. To avoid the security certificate warning you will need to purchase a certificate from a verified Certificate Authority (CA). Self signed certificates will always throw a warning such as this (IIRC there is a workaround to basically create your own internal CA but it still won't work for other users).
Having said that, I have in the past had issues loading SSL (i.e. HTTPS) pages if the certificates have been rejected (within the browser). First thing I'd try is a different web browser (e.g. Chrome, Firefox, etc). And/or you could try clearing all browser data. Bottom line is that I'm 99% sure that it's something on your end.
FWIW I tried connecting to your server (via the link in your OP) and it works straight up for me no worries...
Wow, sorry Daniel...
Reply 3I hope you got your issues sorted.
FWIW for future reference, it's usually best to start a new thread (rather than post on someone else's). If you want to try to reach the previous users or an old thread, post a link to your new thread... The exception to that is if the existing thread is quite new (i.e. within the last month or so) and your issue appears to be EXACTLY the same.
upgraded webmin ?
Reply 4Even if this may not be the right answer, but this may be a helpful hint for those who experienced trouble with webmin. May be you tried to upgrade webmin to newer version? I did, using webmin-current.deb and I was told, that some dependecies could not been resolved (or something like that). My first approach was to
apt-get -f install
and immediatly the install script did continue and - yupp - everything fine. Now running 1.730 with a lot more options. Hope this may help to somebody.
The fundamentals of maintaining a system is being able to access it and back it up. Since I'm not a linux guru I rely on Webmin to get this done. Right now I can't access Webmin.
I'm requesting help. Please.
