  1. Well, nobody want to use Webmin without SSL. So just add the correct stuff, if not already installed:
    # yum install openssl
    # yum install openssl-devel
    # yum install perl
    # yum install perl-Net-SSLeay perl-Crypt-SSLeay
    FYI: http://www.webmin.com/ssl.html

  2. You should use this command to add the firewall rule:

    firewall-cmd –zone=public –add-port=10000/tcp –permanent

  3. I found a notification : “command not found”
    during entering this command : “firewall-cmd –add-port=10000/tcp”
    what should i do?

    1. well the correct command is firewall-cmd –add-port=10000/tcp –permanent, with TWO dashes before ADD and PERMANENT …

      1. and because this idiotic comment system replaces it, this is with added spaces …

        firewall-cmd – -add-port=10000/tcp – -permanent

  4. Maybe the firewall is not installed:
    1. Check the status with systemctl status firewalld
    2. Install firewall if need it with yum install firewalld
    3. Reboot a try again to add the port

  5. I can´t access to webmin with http:168.78.210.xxx:10000

    firewall-cmd –zone=public –add-port=10000/tcp –permanent (not working for a remote ip address)

    how to add the IP address of my house to use the firewall port 10000 I ‘m connecting to a server with a public ip in another building

  6. HI Rasho,
    I need some help in finalizing the SQUID PROXY setup on centos 7. I have logged into the squid conf file vi /etc/squid/squid.conf and really do not understand what lines to remove in the squid conf file. The IP address range of the domain is 10.100.96.0/24. The IP for the proxy server is 10.100.96.25.

    Can you give some ideas as to how to go about doing that?

    Thanks in advance.

    Beryl Wong
