hi,
i have webmin and apache installed. i can't get to webmin at all by browsing to localhost:10000 (default port is 10000). i have tried to add the line Listen 10000 to my httpd config file, but when i do, httpd will not start. do i have to have a hostname specified, and if so, how do i do this? my machine still says its hostname is localhost, but i do have a dns name from dyndns. anyone offer any help for me?
localhost is define in the file /etc/hosts and references to the IP 127.0.0.1
Also webmin is a web server in itself. Apache or other web servers are not required to run to access.
The config file is in /etc/webmin and is called miniserv.conf.
Make sure the daemon is up. Run this command as root.
/sbin/service webmin start
alright, so i was able to connect by typing https://127.0.0.1:10000, and that's it...cant type localhost or my dyndns hostname. what do i have to set up in order to allow for that?
also, can i add/change the /etc/hosts file, and should i, to my dyndns hostname? what would that look like?

Rep:
You need a line in your /etc/hosts file like this for localhost to be used on that machine.
Code:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
For dyndns service to be used you will have to do the following if you have a router connected to the internet and then the machines connected to the router.
First the router has to port forward port 10000 from the external wan port to the LAN IP of the machine you have webmin on. The machine needs to be set with a static IP not dhcp so no matter when booted or reset or whatever it has the same IP. Next on the linux machine if a firewall is enabled on it, it will need to be opened for port 10000 to get through.
