How can I find out how to access webmin that I installed during my BARRACUDA install? I have tried webmin.mydomain.com, webmin.mydomain.com:12321, webmin.mydomain.com:10000 (https) but nothing.

How can I find out how to access webmin
https://server1.mydomain.com:10000.
This worked for me I would think if you have DNS wildcard setup this should work.
Did you install chive or anything?
AFAIK If you configured the install script correctly then you should have been prompted about webmin during install, unless of course you used autopilot I believe.
In the install script it
In the install script it states that webmin will be available at https://yourhost.tld:10000. Like AquaticDisorder says, make sure your DNS is set up correctly for this and the port is not blocked. Let us know how it goes.
install script
I did check my https://hosting.mydomain.com:10000 but it doesn't display and the domain is not blocked because if I just go to hosting.mydomain.com I get the aegir control panel. I don't have autopilot turned on during the install and I selected to have WHN installed but even when I run an update it doesn't say anything about it. Additionally it seems to cache the last ubuntu mirror I used and I alway's seem to have problems with that mirror, is that perhaps the problem? I get the following issue when I ran the install and when I run the update on BARRACUDA (can you recommend a ubuntu mirror?).

Hi wittusen, I am a noob
Hi wittusen, I am a noob myself but will try to help if possible.
1. First thing I notice is you have WHM instead of WMN, maybe a typo?
2. "How can I find out how to access webmin that I installed during my BARRACUDA install?" TBH looking at the output you've added I'm not sure anything would be installed.
3. Ok, so originally you said you had tried https:
webmin.mydomain.com
webmin.mydomain.com:12321
webmin.mydomain.com:10000
server1.mydomain.com:10000 (this is where it actually should be as advised by the script when ran)
hosting.mydomain.com (is where you get the aegir control panel).
Imagine this is my server, the two related variables I have set to:
_MY_FRONT="aegir.bestsiteever.com"
_MY_HOSTN="bertytheserver.bestsiteever.com"
Now from your information we can determine you have set:
_MY_FRONT="hosting.mydomain.com" (this determines where aegir will be)
_MY_HOSTN="hosting.mydomain.com" (unless you set it like this, as in to the same as _MY_FRONT and effectively named your server 'hosting' then)
https://hosting.mydomain.com:10000 (webmin wont be here)
Now going back to my example we can say:
https://bertytheserver.bestsiteever.com:1000 (webmin SHOULD be here)
https://aegir.bestsiteever.com:1000 (webmin will NOT be here)
https://webmin.aegir.bestsiteever.com:1000 (webmin will NOT be here)
https://cgp.aegir.bestsiteever.com (cgp will be here)
https://chive.aegir.bestsiteever.com (chive will be here)
Can I recommend a ubuntu mirror? I use debian and I'm in the uk, so I use uk mirror and I'm not sure about your connection issues, sorry.
I hope this is of some help to you. q8)
Still not working
I never set the 2 variables (_MY_FRONT and _MY_HOSTN) and I turned of the DNS test; I did get the question during the install for the domain which is saw was hosting.mydomain.com and then I put Octopus at octopus.hosting.mydomain.com but I never saw where it put the webmin.
When I do a ps -ef |grep webmin it states its running so I looked at the miniserv.conf and it stated it listened to 12321; I suspected that the firewall was blocking it so I changed it to 10000 and then restarted webmin and "let there be light" I can now access it at hosting.myhosting.com:10000
Thank you for everyone's help.

Chris W
webmin info update
Upon further testing I have found I was not entirely accurate, webmin for me is available at both urls, in my example that would be:
"https://aegir.bestsiteever.com:10000"
"https://bertytheserver.bestsiteever.com:10000"
Check the firewall
You might want to check the firewall (IFD?) setup. I thunk it may block the webmin port be default. You may have to tunnel in or open/change that port fro webmin
You might want to check the firewall (IFD?) setup
A good idea but if it was lfd related I think temporarily stopping and then attempting to connect would be a sufficient test rather than actually jumping straight into the plumming of lfd itself, also it seems logical that Barracuda would add the required rules for the firewall on install I think. q8)
Yes stopping IFD for the
Yes stopping IFD for the length of the test should be enough to see if that is what is blocking the access.
But I wouldn't assume that barracuda would have opened up the port for webmin. Webmin does have high security access and so may require an extra step to open the port. I can't speak for now, but when I did a test a few months back, I had to manually open up the webmin port myself, it did not happen as part of the script. Of course that may have changed since then.
Barracuda (or rather csf/lfd
Barracuda (or rather csf/lfd firewall) whitelists your IP on install, so you can access any port, including 10000 used by default by Webmin, without any issues.
If your IP is not static, then this initial whitelist setup will not help later.
I don't recommend using Webmin if you don't have static IP.
Or at least start Webmin only when you need it and then stop it again.
I have a dynamic address and
I have a dynamic address and if/when it changes I go to my VPS's (linodes) recovery shell and just edit the csf/ldf allow and ignore files. maybe that's imperfect - ~
