Webmin just stops working and when you try to access the site in a browser you get the following message:
This site can’t be reached
hostname.domain.com refused to connect.
Try:
- Checking the connection
- Checking the proxy and the firewall
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
Solution:
Try restarting webmin to see if this solves the problem. Check the status first though to make sure this is the case.
[root@host ~]# service webmin status Webmin is stopped
Then start it:
[root@host ~]# service webmin start
Webmin should be running again now.
Webmin should have never stopped working in the first place. You should examine the various log files to see if you can find out why. The webmin log files locations are:
/var/webmin/miniserv.error /var/webmin/miniserv.log /var/webmin/webmin.log

thanks but the command didn’t work for me
@emmanuel, what does it say in the webmin log file? Try miniserv.error first..
