Hi people

I have webmin install on a fedora core

I'm trying to access webmin via my XP box.
but i keep getting cannot find server.

if i type my domain name my home page works.
if i log in to linux and use startx and mozilla webmin works ok.

I've open up the /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf

and added the line allow=192.168.1.10

and its not working..am i missing some thing..

can any one help me out please...

What address are you using to attempt to access it? Are you specifying the port its running on?

http://<ip-or-domain>:10000

I was trying both.

I only want it to be view on localhost only !

port is open 10000
and its not open to the world via my router, only the Linux IP for servering my home page only, port 80

I've tried http://192.168.1.48:10000

and my http://www.mydomain.com:10000

I read this from webmin http://www.webmin.com/faq.html

How can I change Webmin's list of allowed IP addresses from the shell?
The file you need to modify is /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf , in particular the allow= or deny= lines. If the allow= line exists, it contains a list of all addresses and networks that are allowed to connect to Webmin. Similarly, the deny= line contains addresses that are not allowed to connect. After modifying this file, you need to run /etc/webmin/stop ; /etc/webmin/start for the changes to take effect. Naturally, the file can only be edited by the root user
