Ports to open for server

The default webmin port is 10000, so I would try that first. If that doesn't work I would check and see what port webmin is running on.

You should have to do something like: https://_ipaddress_YYYYY i.e. https://192.168.19.23:10000

YYYYY is the port that needs to be forwarded on your router.

As mentioned, 10000 is the default port.

It could be your ISP blocking the port you are trying to use.

-M

Since PBX Mgr is a Webmin module it runs on 10000 if the default hasn't been changed. So, 10000 has to be open. But, that may not be enough. You may also have to forward port 10000 traffic from your firewall to your PBX Mgr server if it's not already forwarding everything there.

Do I open UDP or TCP what protocol should I be using so far everything is still default but its still not working.

Thanks

Sababa,

Maybe we all misunderstood the problem...you wrote:

"I am having a strange problem. I can get softphones (havent tried normal sip phones yet) to register on my server although I can NOT logon to the WebGUI from outside my LAN."

Is the problem that phones can not register, or you can not access the WebGUI?

HI Matt,

I can't access the webGUI

I opened port 10000 for UDP and TCP and still no dice.

Sounds like your firewall doesn't know where to send the port 10000 traffic once it allows it through. If that's the case you need to put a rule in your firewall telling it to send port 10000 traffic to the internal ip address of your asterisk server.

yes i did that I have a port forward right now for port 10000 both UDP and TCP going to the internal address of my server

Look in /var/webmin/miniserv.log and /var/webmin/miniserv.error to see if you are getting a connection when you try to log in.

how do i do that from the server?

Thanks again for all the help everyone

Do you have the ability to ssh to the server? If so ssh in and do this:

tail -f /var/webmin/miniserv.log

Try connecting while that's running. You should see something scroll by in the log file while you're trying to connect. If you don't, do the same thing with the error log like this:

tail -f /var/webmin/miniserv.error

Of course, I'm assuming the logs are in the same place on my server as they are on yours.

I can SSH when i type the first string in i get this:
