Recently set up a Debian 9.1 x64 server with SSH and LAMP stack (PHP ver7.0). PHP and Apache are both installed correctly since I get their landing pages. UFW is also active.

I have now installed webmin(using apt-get) and also tried following the instructions from http://www.webmin.com/deb.html on a different occasion. I "sucessfully" completed the installation(s) via terminal and it directed me to goto https://MY_Domain:10000 and to log in with root.

After multiple attempts, even tried using https://MY_IP_ADDRESS:10000 I am greeted with "Safari cannot open MY_IPADDRESS because it cant connect to the server".

I have tried the following to solve my problem:

-Reinstalling webmin,

-Restarting webmin,

-Stopping my UFW firewall,

-Allowing ports 10000 ,HTTPS port (443 I think), port 22, port22 v6

-Opening webmin config and changing the port/listen line to listen to another port such as 44321,

-Opening error logs. The only "error" that appeared was something about not being able to do something with IPv6,

-Using different browsers,

I have read many forum posts of users having similar problems but none of the solutions have been effective. I have heard of IPtables but for some reason I cannot implement that solution. Im very new to server configuration therefore I'd appreciate the help.

Ok so I finally fixed it. To fix this, log in as root then nano to

sudo nano /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf

Turn off SSL by setting it to 0.

The restart webmin and try to connect.

Im about to research into whether this is a safe practice.
