You are here
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.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
Assuming that you are all running Windows...!?
I 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:
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):
Server is TKL and browser running on Windows
Thanks 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.
