Lately when trying to start webmin (which I installed as an Amahi app) I get this:
Of course, I did what I was told (...) and modified the webmin config file. didn't work . I restarted, stopped, started the webmin service: didn't workWarning! Webmin has detected that the program http://localhost:10000/right.cgi?open=s ... pen=status was linked to from the URL http://webmin.mydomain.home/, which appears to be outside the Webmin server. This may be an attempt to trick your server into executing a dangerous command.
If this is a legitimate link, you can allow links from this URL as follows :
Login to Webmin normally.
Go to the Webmin Configuration module.
Click on the Trusted Referrers icon.
Enter the hostname localhost into the Trusted websites field, and click Save.
Alternately, you can configure Webmin to allow this link from the command line by :
Login as root, and edit the /etc/webmin/config file.
Add the line referers=localhost at the end, or if a referers line already exists add localhost to it.
Save the file.
I can login if I use http://192.168.2.10:10000 (the ip address is obviously the address of the Amahi server)
If I understand the warning(URL outside the webmin server), the advice (add localhost) seems strange.
I think this is an Amahi issue, not an webmin one because there seems to be a problem with the dns entry used for accessing the webmin server.
I could be that this problem started after a power failure. The server itself restarted and seems to work normally, but webmin did not start. I had to start the service manually. (service webmin start)
I've searched this forum and found that 'moredruid' is a BIG webmin fan . So he is probably the one to answer this ??
