Hi, sorry if I've wrongly commented on the tutorial, this should the appropriate place. I've followed the perfect debian server with ispconfig3 tutorial, then the SSL post on faqforge, and everything went ok on my virtualized server and on the online one. Once it gets to changing default port for webmin, activating it on ispconfig firewall, restarting webmin and apache, and no way, the page I get on the browser (url is https://x.x.x.x:1888) is (Chrome in this case, but the timeout is consistent for all browsers. Error 118 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT) I've checked with a netstat, but the port is listening tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:18888 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 32521/perl udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:18888 0.0.0.0:* 32521/perl an iptables list gives this response <code> Chain INPUT (policy DROP) target prot opt source destination DROP tcp -- anywhere loopback/8 ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere DROP all -- base-address.mcast.net/4 anywhere PUB_IN all -- anywhere anywhere PUB_IN all -- anywhere anywhere PUB_IN all -- anywhere anywhere PUB_IN all -- anywhere anywhere DROP all -- anywhere anywhere Chain FORWARD (policy DROP) target prot opt source destination ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED DROP all -- anywhere anywhere Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination PUB_OUT all -- anywhere anywhere PUB_OUT all -- anywhere anywhere PUB_OUT all -- anywhere anywhere PUB_OUT all -- anywhere anywhere Chain INT_IN (0 references) target prot opt source destination ACCEPT icmp -- anywhere anywhere DROP all -- anywhere anywhere Chain INT_OUT (0 references) target prot opt source destination ACCEPT icmp -- anywhere anywhere ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere Chain PAROLE (15 references) target prot opt source destination ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere Chain PUB_IN (4 references) target prot opt source destination ACCEPT icmp -- anywhere anywhere icmp destination-unreachable ACCEPT icmp -- anywhere anywhere icmp echo-reply ACCEPT icmp -- anywhere anywhere icmp time-exceeded ACCEPT icmp -- anywhere anywhere icmp echo-request PAROLE tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:ftp-data PAROLE tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:ftp PAROLE tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:ssh PAROLE tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:smtp PAROLE tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:domain PAROLE tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:www PAROLE tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dptop3 PAROLE tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:imap2 PAROLE tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:https PAROLE tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:mysql PAROLE tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:http-alt PAROLE tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:tproxy PAROLE tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:8000 PAROLE tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:18888 PAROLE tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:webmin ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere udp dpt:domain ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere udp dpt:mysql DROP icmp -- anywhere anywhere DROP all -- anywhere anywhere ... </code> So, everything seems in order, what could it be stopping me from accessing webmin from alternative port? Please consider that default port works, and all other services work, since I've followed letter by letter you instructions... Did I forget anything? Where could I look?port works, and all other services work, since I've followed letter by letter you instructions... Did I forget anything? Where could I look?
I've tried disabling the firewall, changing port number n times, the only way to access webmin is to go back to the 10000 port on miniserv.conf I've checked all the logs on /var/logs but no one seems to show anything useful. Which one precisely should I look into? Webmin interface also doesn't help in finding useful info (one I got back to port 10000). I would like to change ispconfig port as well, but don't want to incur in the same issue...
