I am using a Webmin panel in a VPS for my website. Today when I tried to log in to my Webmin panel. But I can't access the login page through any browser. I usually log in using https://my-server-ip:10000. I tried both HTTP and https but the page is not showing up. Still, I can access Usermin by typing https://my-website-ip:20000. How do I get into Webmin? Need immediate help

Not getting connected on Webmin login page is a common problem which has nothing to worry about. If there is an update to any of the software packages installed or Webmin modules it may happen. Another cause of inaccessible login page on Webmin may be a firewall that blocks any resources or newly installed/updated modules to work properly. 

Restarting Webmin can enable you to access the login page on the browser. You can restart Webmin/ Virtualmin either by the restart command through SSH access using software like Putty or by rebooting the server. Rebooting the server is the easiest way to restart Webmin.


You can restart Webmin by rebooting the VPS - virtual private server

  1. Login to the hosting client area
  2. Go to server management
  3. Reboot the Server/ VPS
  4. Usually, within half a minute, your server will be rebooted
  5. Now you will be able to access Webmin login page on your browser


Using this below command you can restart Webmin through SSH

/etc/init.d/webmin restart

There are a few things you can try to access your Webmin panel.

1. Check the Webmin service status

First, you should check if the Webmin service is running on the server. You can do this by running the following command via SSH:

sudo systemctl status webmin

If the service is running, you should see the following output:

Active: active (running)

If the service is not running, then you can start it by running the following command:

sudo systemctl start webmin

2. Check your firewall

Next, you should check that your firewall is not blocking access to the Webmin port (10000). You can do this by running the following command:

sudo ufw status

If the port is not listed, then you'll need to open it by running the following command:

sudo ufw allow 10000/tcp

3. Check the Webmin config

Finally, you should check that the Webmin config file is pointing to the correct IP address of your server. You can do this by editing the /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf file and making sure that the line "listen=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" points to the correct IP address.

If none of the above steps work, you should contact your hosting provider for further assistance.
