I installed Webmin on Ubuntu server. I am trying to access the webmin interface from another computer in my LAN. If I use w3m (a command line browser) on the host machine I can start up webmin just fine. The problem is that w3m is woefully inadequate for webmin's web interface. If I try and use a computer on the same network I can't access the webmin interface no matter what I do.
My laptop and my server are on the same network, connected to a common router. I opened up a port 10000 for my server and my laptop.
I used ufw allow 10000/tcp
to enable port 10000 on the firewall.
I tried to edit the webmin configuration file:
nano /etc/webmin/miniserver.conf
changing the port to 10001 and it worked from localhost, not from another machine. I remembered to restart webmin service after having modified the configurations with service webmin restart
.
Can anyone help me access webmin's configuration page from my local LAN or remotely?
