bigjohn Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 In my MCC I have an icon for "Online Administration". Inside that section, it has local administration and remote administration. If I try local, it just tell's me that it can't connect localhost to port 10000. If I try remote, it just ask's me for a webmin address server. Could someone tell me what these are please and how I can use them as I'd like to findout what this "Online Administration" actually is. Thanks in advance. regards John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streeter Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Port 10000 is the port webmin listens to - Webmin is a graphical remote admin tool. If you have webmin running (and firewall open etc..) you can log in to your machine using a web browser via the internet and change the settings of nearly everything. Webmin is also extremely useful for general (local) admin - well worth installing (urpmi webmin). You can then access it in any browser by typing https://<your ip address>:10000 . Note the 's'. <your ip address> can be localhost or 127.0.0.1 if you are accessing it from the same machine. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjohn Posted August 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 well I installed webmin, but it still didn't make any difference in the MCC when I tried the remote or local administration. So I tried with "webmin" from a terminal and that started it up. It gave me an error/warning about the certificate (which I don't quite follow), so I continued anyway and it opened the app. But I don't follow what it's supposed to do or quite how it work's. regards John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
